Autogenous vaccines

Autogenous Vaccines | Advantigen 5.1

• These custom vaccines are used when a commercial product is not available for a new or unique disease-causing agent.  They allow a timely response to emergency disease situations.
• The vaccines are made from viruses or bacteria found on the farm site and isolated in conjunction with a disease outbreak. 
• Autogenous vaccines are safe to use.  The pathogens are inactivated during the production process and the final product is tested for identity, purity, sterility and safety prior to shipment to your operation. 
• In most cases, USDA regulations restrict the use of the vaccine to a single location with time limits on its use.
• Good basic diagnostic work is essential and the proper adjuvant is critical to making a custom vaccine.
• Pick your lab carefully and look for experience in vaccine R&D.
