Product Usage

VISIT FOR ‘HOW TO’ GUIDES >>

Plasma provides proven therapeutic benefits to both young and mature mammals and can be used as either a treatment or preventative therapy for a wide range of conditions, including:
  • Failure of Passive Transfer to newborns (a condition where the newborn fails to absorb the essential antibodies present in its mother's milk, known as colostrum, making the new born completely susceptible to disease and infection)
  • Partial Failure of Passive Transfer to newborns (a condition where the newborn ingests some antibodies, in the form of colostrum, but not enough to attain optimum levels in the bloodstream and avoid the onset of infectious disease)
  • Gastrointestinal conditions including, diarrhoea, colic, pancreatitis, parvovirus infection, colitis
  • Infectious conditions including sepsis, pneumonia and Rhodococcus equi infection (“rattles”)
  • Conditions where protein is lost (renal and gastrointestinal)
  • Conditions involving an acute phase response including trauma and surgery
Plasvacc's purpose-designed products and manufacturing facility provide maximum convenience for the veterinary community.  Blood plasma orders can be delivered overnight and may be frozen for up to three years, giving veterinary surgeons the opportunity to either store plasma or order as needed. The administration of plasma is a medical procedure that should only be performed by a registered veterinary surgeon.  Plasma usually requires intravenous administration however some Plasvacc products can be administered orally to animals that are less than 12 hours old (check with your supplier for details). In preparation for administration, treatment unit(s) must be thawed to body temperature using warm water heated to around 40 degrees centigrade.  If the water temperature is maintained at this level the thawing process will take about 10-20 minutes. Before administering a Plasvacc product, refer to the Dosage and Administration guidelines contained on the product label for detailed procedural information.
