Suiseng Coli / C Suspension for Injection for Pigs — SPC Details

Source: VMD Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC). Last updated 27 Mar 2026.

For the passive immunisation of neonatal piglets against necrotic enteritis by means
of the active immunisation of breeding sows and gilts to induce seroneutralising
antibodies against the of Clostridium perfringens type C.
The persistence of antibodies has not been established.
Sows and gilts: For active immunisation of breeding sows and gilts to induce
seroneutralising antibodies against α-toxin of Clostridium novyi type B. The relevance
of the seroneutralising antibodies was not experimentally determined.
Antibodies have been detected 3 weeks after the completion of the basic vaccination
scheme. The persistence of these antibodies has not been established.

Dose: 2 ml/animal.
The basic vaccination scheme consists of two doses: the first dose at approximately
6 weeks before farrowing and a second dose at approximately 3 weeks before
farrowing .
It is recommended that the second dose should be given preferably on alternate
sides of the neck.
Revaccination: on each subsequent gestation, administer one dose 3 weeks before
the expected date of farrowing.
It is advisable to administer the vaccine at a temperature between +15 ºC and
+25 ºC.
Shake before use.
To ensure the correct mixing with Suiseng Diff/A, the same volumes of Suiseng Diff/A
and Suiseng Coli/C should be used. All the contents of Suiseng Coli/C should be
transferred into a headspace bottle of Suiseng Diff/A (50 ml bottle with 10 doses, 100
ml bottle with 25 doses and 250 ml bottle with 50 doses).
A pre-sterilised transfer needle can be used according to the following instructions:
-
-
-

Shake well before use. Administer one single dose of 4 ml of the mixed vaccines.

None.

Pigs (sows and gilts).
Common
(1 to 10 animals / 100 animals treated):
Elevated temperature.
Injection site reaction.
Uncommon
(1 to 10 animals / 1,000 animals treated):
Injection site nodules.
Very rare
(<1 animal / 10,000 animals treated, including
isolated reports):
Injection site granuloma.Undetermined frequency
(cannot be estimated from the available data)
Hypersensitivity reactions.
1
Temperature increase observed at 6 hours post-vaccination (mean 0.4 ºC, in
individual pigs up to 1.2 ºC, uncommonly up to 2 ºC) subsiding without treatment
within 24 hours post-vaccination.
Palpable inflammatory local reaction (swelling, not more than 2 cm
) which resolves
without treatment within 5 days post-vaccination.
Resolve within 2-3 weeks post-vaccination.
Reactions can be life-threatening in sensitive animals. If such a reaction occurs,
appropriate treatment should be administered without delay.
Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a
veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via veterinarian, to
either the marketing authorisation holder or its local representative or the national
competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for
respective contact details.

Vaccinate healthy animals only.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Not applicable.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the
package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
Not applicable.

Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be
mixed and administered at one injection site with Suiseng Diff/A. Following
administration of the mixed vaccines, an increase in body temperature (mean
1.43 °C, not exceeding 1.87 °C in individual pigs) during the first 6 hours after
vaccination occurs very commonly. Injection site swelling (maximum 4 cm) occurs
very commonly, but typically will resolve within 4 days.
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with
any other veterinary medicinal product. A decision to use this vaccine before or after
any other veterinary medicinal product therefore needs to be made on a case by
case basis.

Store and transport refrigerated (2 ºC-8 ºC). Protect from light. Do not freeze.

Meat and offal: Zero days.
