FLEXcombo®

Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mhp) Vaccine

 

Details

FLEXcombo®  is the first single-dose vaccine that controls two of the most important respiratory diseases in swine: PCV2 and Mhp.

 

FLEXCOMBO vaccine combines the immunizing power and all the benefits of the individual Ingelvac CircoFLEX® and Ingelvac MycoFLEX® vaccines into a single 2-mL injection that is approved for administration for pigs 3 weeks of age or older.

 

Consistent growth is key to a producer’s bottom line. The more pigs they can take to market at the right weight and at the right time, the more profitable they’ll be. By helping pigs grow at a more consistent rate compared to a competitor vaccine, FLEXCOMBO can help increase producers’ profitability.1

Features & Benefits

  • Rapid, long lasting immune response, with low risk of adverse reactions
    Because both Ingelvac CircoFLEX® and Ingelvac MycoFLEX® vaccines contain the unique ImpranFLEX® adjuvant technology, they are highly compatible and provide a rapid, long-lasting immune response, with low risk of adverse reactions.
  • Two diseases, one injection 
    FLEXcombo® provides effective control of both PCV2 and Mhp when administered to pigs 3 weeks of age or older.
  • Fewer injections, less stress 
    Vaccinating pigs against two diseases in a single injection reduces stress on pigs and reduces the labor needed compared to a two-dose protocol.
