 Erycell™
Swine Vaccine
Erycell is the only USDA-licensed
erysipelas vaccine cleared for intranasal use in newborn piglets
and feeder pigs. It can also
be injected intramuscularly. Unlike some injectable vaccines that
require one to three weeks to develop effective levels of immunity,
Erycell produces a potent and prompt immune response that enables
the piglet to start producing its own protective antibody as maternal
protection decreases.
