Fencovis® suspension for injection contains inactivated E. coli expressing F5 (K99) adhesin, strain O8:K35; inactivated bovine rotavirus, serotype G6P1, strain TM-91; inactivated bovine coronavirus, strain C-197. Fencovis® is indicated for active immunisation of pregnant heifers and cows in order to stimulate the development of antibodies against bovine rotavirus, bovine coronavirus and E. coli expressing F5 (K99) adhesin and to increase the level of passive immunity of calves against neonatal diarrhoea caused by bovine rotavirus, bovine coronavirus and E. coli expressing F5 (K99) adhesin. Fencovis® has been shown to prevent neonatal diarrhoea caused by bovine rotavirus and E. coli expressing F5 (K99) adhesin, reduce the incidence and severity of neonatal diarrhoea caused by bovine coronavirus and reduce faecal shedding of virus in calves infected with bovine rotavirus and bovine coronavirus.
