At Khanh Hoa Civet Farm, vaccination is not just a routine veterinary task; it is a strategic step, strictly carried out to ensure the health of the entire herd and maintain the quality of the breeding stock.

1. Type of Vaccine Used

Images from the farm show that the trusted vaccine is CaniShot DHPPL. Although this is a vaccine line designed for dogs, in veterinary husbandry practice, it is very commonly and effectively used to prevent dangerous infectious diseases with a high risk of transmission in civets, including:

Canine Distemper Virus: An extremely dangerous disease with a high mortality rate in civets.
Canine Parvovirus: Infectious enteritis.
Canine Adenovirus Type 2 & Parainfluenza: Respiratory-related diseases.
Leptospira: A disease caused by spirochete bacteria.

2. Vaccine Mixing Process

According to direct instructions from the farm owner, the CaniShot DHPPL vaccine consists of 2 components: a liquid vial (diluent) and a dry vial (containing freeze-dried antigen). The preparation steps before injection are as follows:

Step 1: Use a clean syringe to draw all the solution from the liquid vial.
Step 2: Slowly inject the drawn liquid into the dry vaccine vial.
Step 3: Shake well to completely dissolve the freeze-dried powder into the liquid.

At this point, the medicine is ready to be drawn into the syringe and injected into the civet.

3. Standard Vaccination Schedule for Civets

To maximize the vaccine's effectiveness in generating antibodies, Khanh Hoa Civet Farm applies a strict vaccination schedule for baby civets from birth, specifically:

1st dose: When the civet reaches 6 weeks of age.
2nd dose: When the civet reaches 9 weeks of age.
3rd dose: When the civet reaches 12 weeks of age.

Revaccination (Booster): After completing the 3 primary doses, the farm owner needs to administer a booster shot once a year (1 dose/animal) to maintain lifelong protective antibodies for the herd.
