animals with unknown vaccination history or with signs of tetanus infection. Refer to product circular for Tetanus Anti-toxin for

This product has been shown to be effective for the vaccination of healthy horses, cattle, sheep, goats and swine against tetanus.
This product was licensed prior to the requirement to establish a minimum age for use. The duration of immunity is unknown.
Prepared by detoxifying tetanus toxin in such a manner as to allow the antigenic properties to remain intact. Product is purified,
concentrated and adjuvanted to provide a low dose effective immunizing agent. Each serial is tested for purity, safety and potency
in accordance with USDA requirements. Tetanus is caused by a neurotoxin produced by growth of Clostridium tetani, an anaerobic
(lives without air) micro-organism, in necrotic tissue. Affected animals become stiff, have difficulty swallowing and have an
increased pulse rate. Breathing is labored. Spasmodic contractions of the muscular system occur, such as contracting muscles of the
jaw. Thus, the term 'lockjaw' is often used. Legs and tail are often stiff with abdominal muscles contracted. Tetanus stricken
animals may be unusually sensitive to light and heat. Temperature of the animal generally remains normal, elevating only shortly
before death. Protective anti-body levels usually occur about 2 weeks after the second injection of the primary immunization
Series. In contrast, administration of Tetanus Anti-toxin is recommended for immediate, emergency, passive treatment of exposed
