“….As an aid in the prevention of disease due to…”
Produces clinically significant effect in preventing disease in challenged animals. Most common claim
“…..as an aid in the control of disease due to….”
Alleviates disease severity and duration
ex: Salmonella SRP vaccine
Vaccine with less adverse reactions but possibility for shedding of virus. More closely mimics natural infection
Modified Live vaccine
Primary goal of vaccines in breeding herds
Maintain solid herd immunity to prevent pathogens.
Secondary: Boost innate immunity for calves
Goals of vaccines in replacement heifers
Two fold goal: Protect against prevalent threats. Provide basis for solid herd immunity.
Vaccine goals for market calves
Immune protection to prevalent disease challenge.
FDA licensed vaccines for almost ____ bovine pathogens
50
Minimal vaccine profile
Respiratory
7 way clostridial
Consider Lepto
+/- Brucella
You must give 2 doses of killed vaccines ____ weeks apart
2-4
_____ of individuals will not respond to vaccination.
10-15%
Calf immune systems are not mature until
4-5 months
T/F If you vaccinate a calf less than 5 months old protection will carry into adulthood
False
Animals mount a better immune response to killed vaccines or MLV?
MLV
T/F MLVs will give longer, stronger, and usually cheaper protection compared to killed vaccines
True
T/F Milk production will be effected by vaccination
True
Dont give more than 2 of these vaccines at once
Gram negative (endotoxin)

Ceftiofur crystalline free acid
Foot rot in sheep is
Contagious and effects the sole
Dealing with digital dermatitis and heel erosions requires
Management to enhance the enviornment

Clean sand
What is most efficacious in controlling diary cattle lameness
Free stall management
Want laying for minimum of 10-12 hours a day
Laminitis is most common in
Hind limbs.
High concentration diets.
Decreased blood flow disrupts horn production and p3 sinks from edema.
