MSD Launches New Triple Protection Pig Vaccine
MSD Animal Health has an-
nounced the launch of their
new and unique triple action
pig vaccine to control ery-
sipelas, porcine parvovirus
and leptospirosis, offering
up to 12 months immunity.
The first of its kind, PORCI-
LIS® Ery+Parvo+Lepto of-
fers protection against three
of the biggest diseases that
cause reproductive failures
in pigs.
Alexandre Carvalho,
business unit manager for
pigs at MSD Animal Health,
explained that this vaccine
has the broadest protection
against Leptospira on the
market, offering protection
against nine different sero-
groups including, Australis
and Pomona.
“This vaccine also in-
cludes protection against
the Tarassov serogroup,
which is unique to the prod-
uct,” he said.
“It’s important to note that
PORCILIS Ery+Parvo+Lep-
to can be used for mass
vaccination and during
pregnancy, which hasn’t
been possible with previous
products.”
He added that MSD is
pleased to launch the new
vaccine to support custom-
ers in the control of these
important diseases.
“We want to offer our
customers solutions to en-
able them to feel confident
about the protection of their

New UK protein source launched to industry
AN exciting new feed proposition
has been launched to the dairy
industry and is now available
throughout the UK. NovaPro, a
high-performance rumen protect-
ed protein, could help the sector
eliminate its heavy reliance on
imported soya while delivering a
cost-benefit to producers.
Processing at the state-of-
the-art manufacturing facility
based in the Midlands is now
underway. The plant is exclu-
sively sourcing and mechanically
crushing UK rapeseed, focussing
on supplying high-quality ex-
pelled cake for the animal feed
sector alongside both feed grade
and refined rapeseed oils.
Speaking at the launch event,
Matt Stearn, Trident Feeds com-
mercial manager, emphasised
that the unique manufacturing
process of NovaPro is what sets
the product apart from tradi-
tional sources of rapemeal, with
gentle heat and Xylig treatment
at the heart of the process.
“We’re importing significant
quantities of soya into the UK
and to be in a position to offer
a credible, cost-effective and
sustainable alternative, is a very
exciting prospect,” says Mr
Stearn.
