Why use Autogenous Bacterins?

Autogenous products are used when commercial products are not available or have not provided the desired level of protection to prevent or stop disease outbreaks in certain animal populations or geographical areas.

AAH can manufacture a product designed specifically for your use that will help stop costly outbreaks. AAH has manufactured Autogenous Bacterins since 1983 using the best state-of-the-art technology available.

AAH is currently the only source of Autogenous products offering Bacterin and Toxoid technology for Pasteurella haemolytica. Before release, each product must meet growth specifications, safety testing and sterility testing requirements.

Autogenous Bacterins can be prepared for all common veterinary pathogens.

"What are Autogenous Bacterins?"

Autogenous Bacterin products are produced from specific samples or isolates of organisms obtained from diseased animals. These samples are processed through your local diagnostic laboratory or university diagnostic laboratory. At your request, the laboratory sends a sample of the isolated disease-causing organism to American Animal Health, Inc. AAH then produces a vaccine from the culture in the number of doses you specify.
