Abstract

The production of multicomponent vaccines faces certain difficulties, since all antigens included in the composition should be of an optimal amount, not compete with each other (not cause interference) and ensure the formation of a stable and long-term immune response. However, in addition to effectiveness, it should be taken into consideration that antigen overload can have a negative effect on the safety of the drug, and, therefore, it is necessary to carefully study all possible negative reactions in naturally susceptible animals. Our work presents the results of a study of the safety of the inactivated vaccine against streptococcosis in pigs «VERRES-STREPTO» developed in the period of 2016–2020. The study was carried out on laboratory animals, as well as on piglets and sows. When using the drug according to the requirements indicated in the instructions, no local and / or systemic undesirable reactions were detected in experimental animals: anaphylaxis, depression, adynamia, fever, abortion. The formation of minor aseptic oedemas, which resolved on their own within 7–10 days, was noted at the injection site. The studies showed that the drug is safe for laboratory and naturally susceptible animals in the effective recommended and double doses. The expected efficacy of the use of this drug will significantly outweigh the potential risks of its use.
