pre breeding vaccinations

Post by ddwil » Sun Aug 19, 2018 8:21 pm

I am just getting into this and need some help with what vaccinations I need to give my gilts and what the timing is before I breed them?

Many folks use Farrowsure Gold (or Farrowsure Gold B) pre-breeding. The label on the bottle will have the dosage info, but I believe it's 5 weeks before breeding and the booster shot should be given 2 weeks before breeding. You may also consider giving a vaccination for Circo virus and Mycoplasma. We use Circumvent G2 for that. Don't forget to give the vaccines to your boar too if you have one.

The pre-farrowing vaccinations we use are: Rhinishield and Litterguard.
