The aim of this study was to demonstrate that UNISTRAIN® PRRS administered using Hipradermic® was as safe and efficacious as when administered via the conventional intramuscular (IM) route in a mass vaccination in sows.

We compared the immune response and safety of a mass ID
vaccination with Hipradermic® against PRRS in sows with
vaccination via the conventional IM route. ID vaccination with
UNISTRAIN® PRRS induced similar antibody levels at 28 dpv,
which suggests similar immunogenicity of the ID route.
Furthermore, ID administration suggests a reduction in tissue
lesions as shown by the slight and transient local reactions,
whilst safety and reproductive parameters were comparable to
the traditional IM route
