Boehringer Ingelheim Ultrabac 8
Ultrabac 8 is a multivalent clostridial vaccine that includes tetanus among its covered antigens, appealing to operations that want broad clostridial protection in a single product and prefer minimizing the number of injections. Financially and technically it can be more efficient for horses at risk of multiple clostridial diseases—offering economies of scale versus separate toxoid doses—though it is a different strategic choice than equine-specific combination vaccines like Cavalry 9.
