Vaccines/Cardiac Conditions Flashcards
Immunize
Producing a detectable immune response through vaccination
Doesn’t imply protection
All of these reasons will contribute to what in terms of vaccines? Colostral immunity interference Improper vaccine handling Improper booster administration Incubating disease already Too stressed to respond Immunity not strong enough to prevent/mitigate disease NUTRITION
Vaccine failure
Where should injections be administered in food animals?
Neck region-the area is less desired for meat consumption
There are four claims of a USDA labeled vaccine-what are they? What are examples of vaccines for each claim?
“for the prevention of infection”- Spirovac for Lepto
“for the prevention of disease”- Bovishield for PI prevention
“an aid in the prevention of disease”
“an aid in the control of disease”- Salmonella SRP
Which USDA claim is the most common?
Aid in the prevention of disease due to….
What is the 6 “F” vaccine rule?
Effective Functional & Practical Financially Sound Federal Mandates Fatal dz Frequent dz
What are the four types of vaccines?
Inactivated
Subunit
Autogenous
Modified Live
What is a subunit vaccine?
Only particular antigens are present, can combine with recombinant techniques
What is a autogenous vaccine?
Herd specific vaccines, combined with adjuvant
What is an inactivated vaccine?
Killed microorganism- adjuvants provide stability and immunogenicity
What are some pros/cons of inactivated vaccines?
Pros: safe for pregnant/immunocompromised animals, no reversion to virulence, longer shelf-life
Cons: need adjuvant/multiple doses, slower onset, more expensive
What is a modified live vaccine?
Altered microorganism
Capable of infection and replication
What are some pros/cons of modified live vaccines?
Pros: less adverse reactions, stronger/longer-lasting immune response, stimulates innate immunity, more closely mimics natural infection
Cons: potential reversion to virulence, viral replication in preggo/immunocompromised animals
What are the 3 goals of vaccination programs?
Maximize herd health, cost-benefit ratio and compliance
What is the primary and secondary goal of breeding herd vaccinations?
Primary: maintain solid herd immunity to prevalent pathogens
Secondary: boost innate immunity for calves
What is the two-fold goal of replacement heifer vaccinations?
Protect against prevalent threats & provide basis for solid herd immunity
What is the primary goal for market calf vaccines?
Immune protection to prevalent disease challenge
What are the minimal requirements for replacement heifers in terms of vaccines?
Respiratory viruses: IBR, BVDV, PI3, BRSV
7-way Clostridial
+/- Lepto and Brucella
How many doses of killed vaccines must be administered?
2 doses of killed vaccines, 2-4 weeks apart
More complete herd protection
When are calf immune systems mature by?
4-5 months old
Maternal AB persist to 3 months
