Indication
For the active immunisation of cattle from 4 weeks of age against leptospirosis (6 serovares contained in the vaccine) to prevent infection, foetal infection and Leptospira excretion, mainly in the urine.

Duration of immunity:Â 12 months after basic immunisation.
Dosage, application and vaccination scheme
Dose – 2 ml subcutaneously behind the shoulder blade, calves from 4 weeks of age, heifers and cows.

Primary vaccination:
Primovaccination – requires the administration of two vaccine doses in interval of 4–6 weeks, the second dose should be administered not later than 4 weeks prior to mating. The main effect is prevention of Leptospira excretion in the urine.
If the second vaccine dose is administered not later than 2 weeks before mating, there is also a significant prevention of foetal infection.
Calves can be vaccinated from 4 weeks of age using primovaccination (i.e. administration of two doses). Heifers are vaccinated once before mating.
