Ultravac Botulinum Vaccine for Sheep and Cattle

Ultravac Botulinum Vaccine helps protect sheep and cattle against botulism. It is trusted by producers across Australia for its reliability, effectiveness, and ease of use.

Why Choose Ultravac Botulinum?

This vaccine provides protection against both Clostridium botulinum Type C and Type D. It has a low 2.5mL cattle dose that saves storage space and reduces the number of pack changes needed during herd treatments. With millions of doses sold, producers continue to rely on Zoetis quality and service.

Dosage and Administration

• Cattle: 2.5 mL subcutaneous injection high on the neck, behind the ear.
• Sheep: 1 mL subcutaneous injection high on the neck, behind the ear.
• One dose provides protection in endemic areas, but a second dose is recommended 4–6 weeks later when possible.
• Annual boosters maintain long-term immunity.
• Use within 30 days after first opening.

Maximum immunity develops around four weeks after vaccination. Therefore, start vaccination 4–8 weeks before the expected risk period.
