PULSE 200 EFFECTIVE APPLICATION METHOD FOR PRRS VACCINE IN GILTS

2003 
Introduction The Pulse 200 is the first needle-free injector commercially available to the swine industry. This device is a 2ml fixed intramuscular or subcutaneous, powered, injector which propels the 2ml dose through the skin without the use of needles. There are several studies published which demonstrate similar immunological responses in pigs injected with various vaccines with the Pulse 200 to those given the same vaccines with a needle and syringe. However, the studies discussed here, investigate the comparative immunological responses gilts given PRRS vaccines with the Pulse 200 and conventional needles and syringes. Objective: To compare the serological responses of gilts vaccinated with Ingelvac PRRS MLV (Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc) administered with conventional needles and syringes to those receiving the same vaccine with the Pulse 200 Needle-less injector.
