Leptoshield Vaccine - 250ml

Leptoshield vaccine is used for the prevention of Leptospirosis in cattle, sheep and goats and as an aid in the control of Leptospirosis in deer.

Key Benefits

Leptoshield vaccine provides unique protection by preventing the shedding of leptospires (L. hardjo, L. pomona) in urine and from the reproductive tract. This means that as well as the animal being protected from the productivity losses associated with Leptospirosis, the vaccine also prevents the animal from contaminating the environment and placing unvaccinated cattle and people at risk.
