Description
This Bovine Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus-Like Particle (VLP) Pentavalent Vaccine is a next-generation livestock vaccine designed to provide broad-spectrum protection against five major FMD serotypes affecting cattle and sheep globally.
The vaccine includes:
- Type O (PanAsia2 lineage)
- Type A (Iran05 lineage)
- Type Asia 1 (Sindh-8 lineage)
- Type SAT1
- Type SAT2
Unlike traditional inactivated vaccines, this product utilizes virus-like particle (VLP) technology, which offers:
- Higher safety (no live virus involved)
- Strong immunogenicity
- Improved antigen stability
This makes it particularly suitable for:
- High-risk FMD regions
- Cross-border livestock trade zones
- Large-scale cattle and sheep farming operations
With increasing genetic diversity of FMD viruses worldwide, this multi-serotype formulation ensures maximum field coverage and risk reduction, helping farms maintain biosecurity and production stability.
