Efficient
Clinical studies have shown that vaccination of piglets with Coliprotec reduced:- Prevalence, severity and duration of post-weaning diarrhea associated with E. coli carrying F4 (K88)
- Level, extent and severity of the accumulation of fluid in the intestines
- Intestinal colonization of virulent strains causing the disease
- Fecal excretion of strains causing the disease
Easy to use
Coliprotec is distributed in lyophilized form, in 200, 500 and 1000-dose formats. It is administered to pigs orally using conventional drinking water systems or automatic medicator (proportioner) watering systems. This makes it possible to vaccinate several hundred pigs without handling and without injection.Ecological
Coliprotec is a healthy alternative to antibiotics and can be safely used for prophylaxis. Being a vaccine, not an antibiotic, it is not subject to any resistance. Its use and administration are in accordance with the requirements and purposes of on-farm quality assurance programs.In contrast, due to the antibiotic resistance, the use of antibiotics is strongly criticized, especially their use as growth promoters and routine in-feed prophylaxis, which is even banned in some jurisdictions.
