True
93
you should ideally vaccinate calves when
before protective maternal antibody titers drop below the protective level
pre-weaning vaccination may help with continuity of immunuty
94
In calves, maternal antibodies may interfere with immune response up to
6 months of age
-highly variable based on pathogen/vaccine and individual animals

True
T cell response is minimally affected by maternal antibodies
97
T/F: maternal antibodies can interfere with any type of vaccine
True
98
T/F: T cell response is very affected by maternal antibodies
False
99
What is the leading cause of death of beef calves between 3 weeks of age and weaning

Clinical protection may depend on the level of colostrum derived immunity at the time of vaccination
100
Vaccination of young dairy calves with miltivalent modified live viruses is effective for reducing naturally occuring BRD morbidity and mortality
False - however, LV is superior to killed for reducing BRD associated morbidity and mortality
101
MLV intranasal vaccines for cattle result in
rapid onset of protection ~3days
protection at site of entry for respiratory pathogen (mucosal immune priming and IgA production)
repeat after 6 months to avoid maternal antibody interference
102
