Enterisol Ileitis (Canada)
This treatment applies to the following species:Lawsonia Intracellularis Vaccine
Avirulent Live Culture
For use in swine only.
For use in animals only.
Enterisol Ileitis Indications
This product has been shown to be effective for the vaccination of healthy swine 3 weeks or older against Lawsonia intracellularis. The duration of immunity has not been determined. For more information regarding efficacy and safety data go to productdata.aphis.usda.gov.
The vaccine has been shown to have an effect on gross and microscopic intestinal lesions of ileitis.
Directions and dosage: Rehydrate the vaccine by adding the full contents of the accompanying sterile water diluent to the vaccine vial. Mix gently until contents are completely dissolved. Use entire contents immediately.
Vaccination by Oral Drenching
50 Doses - Administer a single 2 mL dose orally per pig.
100 Doses - Administer a single 1 mL dose orally per pig.
Vaccination Via The Drinking Water
Conventional Water Directions (open trough or barrel type [tank] system)
1. Do not reconstitute the vaccine until ready to vaccinate.
2. Do not treat animals with medicated feed containing antimicrobials effective against Lawsonia spp. for a minimum of 3 days before and 3 days after the day of vaccination. This will result in a vaccination window totalling 7 days in length.
3. Discontinue sanitizers and disinfectants from drinking water prior to vaccination. Flush watering system with nonchlorinated/nontreated clean water to eliminate any antibacterial agents.
4. Reconstitute vaccine according to directions.
5. Add number of doses of vaccine equal to or more than the number of pigs to vaccinate, to the appropriate amount of clean, nontreated drinking water (see table).
6. Final solution containing vaccine should be consumed within 6 hours after reconstitution of the vaccine.
Directions For Automatic Watering Systems Equipped With Proportioner
Several types of medicators/proportioners are commercially available.
1. Do not reconstitute the vaccine until ready to vaccinate.
2. Do not treat animals with medicated feed containing antimicrobials effective against Lawsonia spp. for a minimum of 3 days before and 3 days after the day of vaccination. This will result in a vaccination window totalling 7 days in length.
3. Provide sufficient watering space so that all pigs can drink within a 6 hour time frame.
4. Discontinue sanitizers and disinfectants from drinking water prior to vaccination. Flush watering system with nontreated clean water to eliminate any antibacterial agents. (This can be accomplished during pre-measurement of stock solution volume requirement in step 6.)
5. Set proportioner to deliver 30 mL (1 oz.) of vaccine solution per 3.8 liters (1 gallon or 128 oz.) of drinking water. Regularly clean proportioner internally to remove antibiotics or other contaminants that may impair vaccine viability. Maintain proportioner according to manufacturer’s specifications in order to safeguard accurate vaccine administration.
6. Pre-measure the volume of stock solution required for vaccination during a 6 hour period as follows:
a. Fill a clean bucket or other suitable fluid container with water. Be sure to start with more water than the group of swine is expected to consume in a 6 hour period.
b. Insert proportioner draw tube into the water and ensure that the inlet end rests on the bottom of the container.
c. Adjust valves to start proportioned water flowing into the group of swine scheduled for vaccination.
d. After 6 hours record the volume of water drawn from the container during this period. This 6 hour disappearance volume will be the total volume of clean water, chlorine neutralizer, and vaccine to be used on the day of vaccination.
e. Return water supply flow to normal (bypass the proportioner) until ready to vaccinate.
f. NOTE: it is recommended to conduct this pre-measurement at the same time of day as intended for vaccination.
7. Prepare vaccine stock solution as follows:
a. Reconstitute vaccine according to directions above.
b. Add approximately half of the pre-measured amount of clean, disinfectant-free water to the container to be used for stock solution.
c. To ensure vaccine viability, use one or more Reload Pack™ (Reload Pack™ DT or Reload Pack™ DT 5X), which contain the stabilizer sodium thiosulfate, with any source of drinking and stock solution water. A blue dye is also included to facilitate charging water lines and detection of vaccine containing water (step 8).
d. Add a number of vaccine doses to the stock solution equal to or greater than the number of pigs to vaccinate. Mix thoroughly.
e. Add clean, disinfectant-free water to bring the total volume of this stock solution to the pre-measured 4 to 6 hour volume. Mix thoroughly.
8. Insert proportioner draw tube into the vaccine stock solution. Ensure that the inlet end is resting on the bottom of the solution container. Adjust water supply valves to direct water through the proportioner. Charge the main water distribution lines throughout the facility being vaccinated. To do this, drain (bleed) water from the valve or drinker on each main line at the end farthest away from the proportioner. Drain water from each main line until the water appears light blue in color. Pigs should consume the vaccine-containing water within 6 hours after reconstituting the vaccine. Do not medicate or use disinfectants immediately following vaccination.

Enterisol Ileitis Caution
The actual amount of water consumed may vary considerably depending on several factors, including environmental temperature and drinker type. It is recommended to pre-measure the actual stock solution volume requirements the day prior to vaccination, during the planned vaccination time period. This should be done in order to ensure that the vaccine is consumed within the 6 hour recommended time frame.
Incompatibility: Do not treat animals with medicated feed containing antimicrobials effective against Lawsonia spp. for a minimum of 3 days before and 3 days after the day of vaccination. This will result in a vaccination window totalling 7 days in length. If possible, a longer medication-free period is recommended.
Precautions
Store at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. Use entire contents when first opened. Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter. Do not mix with other products, except as specified on the label. Do not use in pregnant swine or breeding boars. Do not use concurrently with antimicrobials effective against Lawsonia spp. All materials used in administering this vaccine must be free of antimicrobial or disinfectant residue to prevent inactivation and reduced product efficacy. In case of anaphylactoid reaction, administer epinephrine. In case of human exposure, contact a physician. Inactivate unused contents before disposal.ENTERISOL® is a registered trademark of Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica GmbH, used under license.
