Advantages:

Gletvax 6 is the only vaccine which prevents against both E.coli and Clostridial scours.
The vaccine is administered to the sow who passes immunity to the piglets via the colostrum.
The piglets start to build up immunity from their first feed.
Since Gletvax 6 contains 4 important strains of E.coli and 3 strains of Colostridium perfringens, it offers the broadest protection against E.coli and Colostridial scours available in a single vaccine.
Use of Gletvax 6 in a trial reduced the death rate from E.coli enteritis to 1.3% compared to 6.9% in the control group.
In the same trial, Gletvax 6 reduced the death rate from Colostridial scours to 8% compared to 43% in the control group.
The number of piglets infected with this disease fell to 29% compared to 85% in the control group.
