​​ARE AUTOGENOUS BACTERINS EFFECTIVE?

​YES. AAH HAS MANUFACTURED AUTOGENOUS BACTERIN FOR OVER 40 YEARS WITH MILLIONS OF DOSES PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED TO VETERINARIANS WITH VERY EFFECTIVE RESULTS. SPECIAL ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO ANTIGEN MASS AND SELECTION OF PROPRIETARY ADJUVANTS. MANY TIMES, MORE THAN ONE STRAIN OF AN ORGANISM IS USED IN THE VACCINE FOR A DIVERSIFIED EFFECT.

WHERE CAN AUTOGENOUS BACTERINS BE USED?

​​Typically an Autogenous Bacterin is used at the herd where the organism(s) were isolated. Autogenous Bacterin can be used in other herds with approval from the USDA. We will assist Veterinarians with the process of adjacent or non-adjacent herd use approval from the USDA. Non-adjacent herd use requires justification on the basis of epidemiology and the professional judgment of the Veterinarian.

​HOW LONG CAN ORGANISM(S) BE USED TO MAKE AN AUTOGENOUS BACTERIN?

​Isolated organism(s) can be used 15 months from the date of harvest of the first serial of product prepared from the microorganism. Requests can be made to the USDA to extend isolates/organisms usage up to a maximum of five years. AAH can assist you with these requests for approval. However, these requests must be made before the isolate expires. We do not keep production seeds or isolates longer than allowed by USDA.

​WHAT DO AUTOGENOUS BACTERINS COST?​

The cost varies depending on the number of doses manufactured and the number of strains in the product. There are minimum order standards for large animal, exotic species and small animals involving limited doses. The cost per dose reduces significantly as the number of doses increases. Prices are quoted F.O.B. Grand Prairie, Texas, and include all laboratory procedures and services. Please contact us for a quote.

WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF THE AUTOGENOUS BACTERINS?

Autogenous bacterins carry an 18-month expiration date from the first harvest date.

WHO CAN ORDER AUTOGENOUS BACTERINS?
