Scabigard is the world’s first tissue cultured scabby mouth vaccine for the control of scabby mouth disease in lambs and sheep.

• Scabigard must be administered to sheep using the purpose designed reusable Scabigard applicator. Sterilise the applicator before reuse.
• Sheep must be scratched on a bare area of skin (side of the brisket or inside of the foreleg) to ensure an effective vaccination take.
• Hold the applicator at 45 degrees to the skin and with both applicator prongs touching the skin, make a single 4 to 5 cm long scratch on the bare skin.
• The scratch must be sufficient to cause skin damage, but not draw blood. The blue dye allows the operator to see that the applicator is working correctly and the vaccine is distributed along the entire 4 to 5 cm scratch.
• Do not use any antiseptic on the skin as this will destroy the virus.
• Care should be taken to make sure antiseptics used in marking should not contaminate the site
