Glanvac 6S Vaccine

  • Glanvac 6S provides protection against Cheesy Gland (CLA) and 5 main clostridial diseases (Black Disease, Black Leg, Malignant Oedema, Pulpy Kidney, and Tetanus) with the added benefit of correcting Selenium deficiency.
  • Cheesy Gland (CLA is a risk to all Australian sheep flocks. Clostridial diseases are found Australia wide in the soil and the environment.
  • Selenium is an essential trace element that is vital for wool production, growth and fertility. Selenium deficiencies in sheep result in reduced wool production and growth rates, ill thrift, infertility in ewes and death of young lambs due to White Muscle Disease.
  • Glanvac 6S utilizes Zoetis' ultra-filtration technology, this allows the vaccine to produce a more targeted immune response in sheep, while providing producers with the convenience of a 1 mL dose rate.

Key benefits

  • Creates a high level of disease protection in the breeding flock.
  • Improves lamb marking and weaning percentages by preventing a wide range of clostridial deaths such as Pulpy Kidney and Tetanus.
  • Improves meat quality through Cheesy Gland protection, ensuring export and domestic customers receive a quality product.
  • Improves wool quality and quantity by protecting against Cheesy Gland and maintaining Selenium reserves.
  • Maintains a high level of Selenium in the lactating ewe and lamb in a period of high requirement which aids in wool production and growth, fertility in ewes and prevents white muscle disease in lambs.
  • 30-day reuse claim when label directions are followed correctly.

Recommendations for use

  • Control of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA or Cheesy Gland); and the prevention of enterotoxaemia (Pulpy Kidney disease), Tetanus, Black Disease, Malignant Oedema and Blackleg in sheep and lambs plus Swelled Head in rams
  • Prevents white muscle disease in lambs in areas of known or suspected selenium deficiency. For use in Selenium deficient areas only. Seek veterinary advice when Selenium is being supplemented by other means.

The Zoetis Advantage

Glanvac is produced using Zoetis' Ultra-Filtration Technology.

This technology:

  • Ensures the vaccine is of the highest quality by seeking out and removing unwanted particles
  • Enables the vaccine to generate a more targeted immune response
  • Delivers reliable protection within a convenient 1mL dose rate.

Glanvac 6S provides broad protection against the  5 main fatal clostridial diseases and Cheesy Gland (CLA). It also contains Selenium for improved lamb survival, lamb growth and wool production.

Dose rate: 1 mL for all classes of sheep.

Injection site: Vaccine should be administered subcutaneously using a shrouded vaccinator and a 6mm (¼ inch) 18- gauge needle on the side of the neck midway between the ear and the front of the shoulder.

Vaccinate at a 45° angle to the skin in lambs and adults with short wool, and at 90° for adults with wool growth.

Lambs need two doses:

  • First ‘priming’ dose at marking.
  • Second ‘booster’ dose at weaning.

Previously unvaccinated ewes need two doses:

  • First ‘priming’ dose at the time of joining or scanning,
  • Second ‘booster’ dose approximately 4 weeks before the expected date of lambing.

Other classes of previously unvaccinated sheep need two doses:

  • First ‘priming’ dose,
  • Second ‘booster’ dose approximately 4-6 weeks after.

Previously vaccinated sheep need ‘annual booster’ vaccinations:

  • For ewes vaccinate 4 weeks before the expected date of lambing.
  • This should pass temporary immunity to their lambs in the colostrum, or first milk, to protect them for the first 6 to 8 weeks of their lives
  • For Pulpy Kidney protection, where possible give the annual booster at least 2 weeks prior to the time of maximum risk, e.g. transfer to lush pasture or grain feeding.
  • For Cheesy Gland (CLA) booster doses should be given within 6 months prior to shearing
