Description

The innate immune system in cattle has been shown to provide a potent, rapid, nonspecific, protective response to infectious agents, such as Mannheimia haemolytica that can lead to Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD). BRD is a serious condition that commonly causes lung lesions, reduced lung capacity and mortality.

ZELNATE® is a bacterial-produced plasmid DNA with a liposome carrier that stimulates the innate immune system and has been shown to be effective against bovine respiratory disease due to Mannheimia haemolytica.

The freeze-dried (desiccate) product is packaged with two different sterile diluents. The First Sterile Rehydrator (vial 1) is used to reconstitute the desiccate cake (vial 2), and then transferred to the Final Sterile Solution (vial 3) to achieve the proper concentration for administration.

INDICATION

This product has been shown to be effective for the treatment of cattle, 4 months of age or older, against bovine respiratory disease due to Mannheimia haemolytica. For more information regarding efficacy and safety data, see productdata.aphis.usda.gov.

This product has been shown to be effective at the time of, or within 24 hours after, a perceived stressful event.

IMPORTANT STORAGE CONDITIONS

Store Refrigerated

2°C to 8°C (35°F to 46°F)

DO NOT FREEZE.

Stability has been demonstrated for at least 8 hours after reconstitution if vial is refrigerated and sterility is maintained.
