The third generation of the company’s needle-free vaccine delivery system has additional features that make it easier to use. With a long-lasting Li-Ion battery and nearly twice the service interval of its predecessor, the new device also has a new balanced design, ergonomically shaped two-component surface for maximum grip, and intuitive handling with two-button control and graphical display, the company said.
The IDAL Way offers five intradermal vaccines for administration with the IDAL 2G and the new IDAL 3G – PORCILIS PCV ID, PORCILIS M Hyo ID ONCE, PORCILIS PRRS, PORCILIS AD Begonia and PRIME PAC PRRS.
The vaccines can protect pigs from porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv) and PRRSv-2, porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M Hyo) and Aujeszky’s disease virus infections (pseudorabies).
