BEEF
COW/CALF VACCINATION PROTOCOL
2016
Vaccines are used to prevent disease by exposing the animal to a non-pathogenic form of the virus or
bacteria. Vaccines do not provide 100% protection, but help to lower the chance of picking up infection.
Cow Vaccine
-
Vira-Shield 6 + 5VL (Respiratory and Reproductive Viruses/Bacteria prevention)
o Vaccinate pregnant cows 40-60 days before parturition- 5cc, SQ



Lepto- Canicola/Grippotyphosa/Hardjo/Icterohaemorrhagiae/Pomona, Campylobacter Fetus
-
Scour Guard 4KC (Enteric Virus prevention for Calves)

Deworming
o Cydectin Pour-On, Recommend doing twice annually in spring and fall
The goal of a proper deworming program is to “decrease” the parasitic population among the animals in
the herd. It is desired to keep some susceptible parasites in the herd to compete with undesired parasites
that are resistant to dewormer.
