Why choose
Coxevac?
Fewer abortions
Vaccinated cows are 30% less likely to abort when compared to unvaccinated herds1
Less shedding
Lowers the probability of an animal becoming a shedder by 5 times and reduces the shedding of C. burnetii2 decreasing the impact of the disease in the herd
Empowers the Immunity
Coxevac vaccine induces optimal cellular and humoral immune responses
Reduces environmental load
Whole herd vaccination reduces the bacterial load across the herd, reducing the environmental burden, so reducing the risk of other animals and humans being exposed to the pathogen3,4
