Purity & Safety

Purity & Safety Equine plasma and red cells are harvested using the same stringent controls and pheresing equipment as is used in the collection of human blood products. Plasvacc’s USA facility, where our products are manufactured, is USDA-licensed and all operations are monitored by our strict quality assurance system. The system utilizes a completely closed collection method, which ensures freedom …

Donor Animals

Donor Animals Plasvacc Chile’s equine blood products are collected from a USDA-approved herd of approximately 90 donor horses by our sister company in the USA.

Plasvacc USA’s donor herd is routinely vaccinated with the following …

Collection Process

Collection Process We provide cell-free, single-source, 100% traceable, hyperimmunized plasma that is never blended. Because safety and efficacy come first, we prefer collection from a single rigorously screened donor. It ensures traceability and reduces the risk of adverse reactions. The process of extracting bulk plasma from donors is a complex one, relying on state-of the-art technology and expertise. Our Pheresis …

What is Plasma Therapy?

What is Plasma Therapy? Plasma therapy is the process of administering plasma or plasma-based products to increase the levels of antibodies in the blood. When used to complement conventional veterinary treatments, plasma therapy shortens the course of treatments, reduces hospitalization periods and lessens the quantity of drugs required to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. Plasma therapy also has …
