Farrowsure/Flusure Combo

Post by CLVR » Fri Jan 12, 2018 9:14 am

So I discovered the Farrowsure Flusure combo recently and was pretty happy to have the opportunity to cut down on shots given. Then I ran across a study that claims that the multi antigen combination lessens the effectiveness of each vaccine. However, the study was written by the other vaccine companies. Would like opinions from the vets on here as well as everyone

There is merit to the argument that adding more antigens will reduce the efficacy of the sum of the vaccine. But in this particular case the efficacy studies that Zoetis has presented seem to be solid enough for me to have confidence in all of the Flusure combinations they market.

hog doc I am a first time farrower/breeder and I want to breed a gilt on the 24th and 25th of September. I gave her farrowsure B last week(9/10) and want to know if I can give it again and if so when or do I even need to give the second shot? Thank you for your help
