Dophavacc vaccines for small ruminants (sheep, goats) are produced of inactivated bacterial antigens and composed with high quality adjuvants. Dophavacc vaccines can be produced as mono- or combined vaccines and be used for active and passive immunisation.

Ripac-Labor has the permission to produce autogenous vaccines against the most relevant pathogens in small ruminants. Main indications are enteric disease, mastitis and respiratory disease. 

Please contact us if you have specific questions regarding your desired indication or combination of pathogens.
