Footvax is a killed multi-serotype (10 strain) vaccine registered to aid in the control of footrot in sheep and lambs.

Stay one step ahead of footrot.

Footrot is a complex and difficult to diagnose disease. The use of Coopers Ovilis Footvax needs to be part of a complete footrot management plan. Due to the complexity of the disease, and because the use of this vaccine may require a permit in some states (eg NSW, SA and WA), Coopers recommend sheep producers speak to their advisers as soon as possible should footrot be a concern.

Features

Contains 10 strains of D. nodosus to aid in the control of footrot, for both treatment and prevention.
Protection against new infections (up to 80%)^1.
