Description

VULBEK-ORF Vaccine is a live attenuated viral vaccine used for the prevention of contagious ecthyma (Orf disease) in sheep and goats. Orf is a highly contagious viral skin disease causing scabby sores around the mouth, nostrils, eyes, and sometimes on the feet and teats. Vaccination with VULBEK-ORF helps reduce the severity and spread of outbreaks in flocks.

Key Features:

Composition:

Contains live attenuated Orf virus strain.

Indications:

Prevention and control of contagious ecthyma (Orf) in susceptible sheep and goats.

Dosage and Administration:

Administer by scarification (scratching the skin) preferably on a wool-free area like the inside of the thigh or under the tail.

Use a sterile applicator to apply a small amount of the vaccine to the scarified area.

Vaccinate healthy animals only.

Timing:

Ideally vaccinate lambs and kids at 6–8 weeks of age.

Revaccination may be needed in areas with persistent infection risk.

Benefits:

Reduces mortality and productivity losses due to Orf.

Helps maintain flock health and market value.

Supports faster recovery and lower disease transmission.

Storage Instructions:

Store at 2°C–8°C (refrigerated).

Do not freeze.

Protect from light.
