Hysolv Animal Health UK launch additional swine flu vaccine

1st November 2018

Hysolv Animal Health have launched a new vaccine, Respiporc FLUpan H1N1, that they say should be given simultaneously with their existing trivalent flu vaccine Respiporc FLU3, which protects against swine flu virus, type A subtypes: H1N1, H1N2 and H3N2. A company spokesperson said when used simultaneously, “the two vaccines protect pigs against the most relevant strains in the British Isles”.

Respiporc FLUpan H1N1 was developed by IDT Biologika, and protects against the pandemic strain of flu pdmH1N1(2009), which is particularly prevalent in the British Isles. Already 1.7 million doses have been prescribed in Germany successfully, and field trials have evidenced that the vaccine protects against clinical signs of swine flu and also improves reproduction and piglet performance. Two 1ml doses can be injected intramuscularly three weeks apart to pigs from 56 days old, and will afford protection to most animals within a week.
