Oral Gel Administration for Lawsonia and Salmonella Vaccines Helps Producers Save Time and Labor

Lawsonia intracellularis and Salmonella are not new pathogens to the swine industry and pose threats to the health and performance of pigs. Vaccination is critical to protect the bottom line, but it can sometimes be time consuming and labor intensive.

Recognizing the labor challenges many swine producers are facing, the innovators at Boehringer Ingelheim partnered with customers to investigate novel vaccination methods. As a result, Boehringer Ingelheim has introduced a new, oral gel administration method for its Lawsonia and Salmonella vaccines, Enterisol® Ileitis and Enterisol Salmonella T/C®, that allows the vaccines to be administered prior to weaning.
