Reliable, Effective, and Accessible Disease Control for Small Ruminants.
The vaccine is a homologous live attenuated solution that effectively guards small ruminants against PPR. It comes in two variants: the ILRI thermotolerant PPR vaccine produced through the Thermovac process, and Xerovac, an established option. Both are proven to remain stable at ambient temperatures for extended periods, even withstanding spikes of 40°C.
This technology is TAAT1 validated.

Positive or neutral impact
The technology reduces economic losses and poverty among small ruminant farmers by preventing PPR outbreaks and enhancing food security. It improves animal health, reduces disease spread, and fosters economic growth in the agricultural sector. Additionally, its innovation in vaccine technology promotes sustainability and contributes to climate action efforts.
To incorporate this technology into your project, the following steps and considerations are recommended:
A team of trainers can offer support and training during the installation phase of the project. Budget for training and post-training support for utilizing the technology effectively.
Consider collaborating with agricultural development institutes to facilitate the implementation of the technology within your country.
