Contribution to the study of swine atrophic rhinitis. II. Vaccine preparation and experimental use in the field
Abstract
The preparation, controls and experimental use in the field of an alum potasse adjuvant Atrophic Rhinitis bacterin, containing Bordetella bronchiseptica microrganism only, are discribed. The bacterin was used in an intensive breeding farm with severe problems resulting from the disease. Three thousand gilts were vaccinated and four hundred were left off as unvaccinated controls. Two intranasal spray vaccinations were initially applied, i.e. one immediately after birth and the other at the third day. A third subcutaneous vaccination at weaning followed. None of the vaccinated animals shoed up symptoms of A.R. or respiratory disturbs, while the body weight gain was the normal (85-90 Kg per animal at five months and a half). The aspect of the controls was inverse: turbinate atrophy was developped in the 6.75% of them and the body weight gain was in delay (70-75 kg per animal at five months and a half). For definitive conclusions as far as the effectivness of the product is concerned, further observations comming out of a wider use are required.
