Quality plasma products are an investment in the health and longevity of animals in your care. As veterinarians know, it is safer and less expensive to prevent an illness or infection than to cure it after it has compromised a patient’s health. Veterinary Immunogenics’ hyperimmunised plasma can help prevent common illnesses in horses, such as, Rhodococcus and Failure of Passive Transfer..
Hypermune®:VMD Licensed Equine Plasma
In horses, Failure of Passive Transfer (FPT) is another illustration of how Veterinary Immunogenics’ hyperimmunised plasma can aid in preventing illness and save lives. When a newborn foal doesn’t receive the needed immunoglobulin antibodies through its mother’s colostrum, FPT can be life-threatening. Veterinarians who give 1-2 litres of Hypermune plasma at birth can raise the foal’s IgG levels and often prevent serious complications. If a foal does get sick after a plasma protocol, it will typically recover faster, with fewer antibiotics and shorter clinic stays.
Veterinary Immunogenics’ plasma products have also been shown to be effective in the treatment and prevention of other equine illnesses such as Rhodococcus equi. Listen to what veterinarians have to say about their plasma protocols here.
Small Investment, Big Returns
Early, preventative protocols using hyperimmunised plasma can give foals stronger defences against serious, costly diseases later in life. Investing in plasma products doesn’t just bring financial returns, but the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing everything possible to ensure that the animal lives a long and healthy life.
Keeping horses healthy and happy is our priority here at Veterinary Immunogenics. That’s why we work so hard to make sure that the horses you care for have the best start in life, and a fighting chance against diseases as they get older.
If the treatments can pay for themselves in one vet visit, while also giving the animal the best possible chance at recovery, isn’t it worth it? We think so.
