After my previous thread (now locked) I felt a moral responsibility to try to obtain some figures re how many Laboratory Rabbits are involved in the manufacture of the VHD Vaccine.
THIS INFORMATION APPLIES ONLY TO LAPINJECT
The manufacturer is a company called HIPRA who are based in Spain. The vaccine is sold by CEVA Animal Health on behalf of HIPRA.
The number of vaccines that can be derived from one Rabbit Liver is widely variable and is approximately 4.000- 15,000 Doses per liver. So one Laboratory Rabbit protects between 4,000-15,000 Domestic Rabbits.
PLEASE, PLEASE do not start another debate about whether to vaccinate or not or your views on how the vaccine is made. I just wanted to answer a question that many people asked and I could not do so on the original thread as it's been locked.
