Pneumonia vaccination

Hi I was doing some pneumonia vaccine for a neighbour today and he was using rispoval 2 4ml per dose ( brsv and pi3 ) it was there second done so are fully covered now for it hopefully

But my query is should I be using this also as I only vaccine my stock for IBR live vaccine. (MSD product )

The Rispoval-2 doesn't cover Mannheimia Haemolytica A1, strain M4/1

How significant is this for weanlings prior to weaning & winter housing.

Thanks I find it all bait confusing. What I do is give the IBR vaccine every at housing. If I was too vaccinate for BRVS or Pi3 would I be better to do this as the calves are born in the spring and IBR in the back end?

FYI I don't have any major issues with Pneumonia but I have noticed that I don't have any snotty noses in the winter since doing the IBR live vacinne and no coughing along as I control the worms.

Also I do IBR to the full herd at housing but would I be right in thinking that big cattle as in cows do not need the pneumonia vaccine?

That's very good she speaks very well.

Cheers I will get it sorted and more organised for next year.

If I was to vaccinate RSP its a 2 shot program, so If I keep them cattle for next winter would one shot cover them as a booster as they got there previous 2 shots the previous year? Also is there a live vaccine for this RSP ?

How long does this RSP give the the cattle immunity for like leapt covers 12months IBR covers 6 months and RSP covers a year is it?

I had a read of it there that answers my questions. That live nasal vaccine is it and bovipart RSP conected as in If the nasal was used at first followed by the bovipast at 12weeks would work together. Or would you still need 2 shots of bovipast RSP even if the nasal vaccine was used.

I will be doing my cattle this week with IBR and RSP but would it be ok to give the heifers there first shot of lepto vac at the same time or is two different vax's enough for one day?

Thanks for this I find the vaccines for pneumonia very confusing but less so today thanks

Getting ready to start the usual calf vaccine programme (once youngest in batch is over 2 weeks of age)

Tribovax 10 x 2ml

Bovipast RSP x 5ml

Bovillis IBR Live x2ml

Vecoxan 25ml/ 30ml (weight dependent)

Then 4 weeks later follow with booster

Tribovax 10 x 2ml

Bovipast RSP x 5ml

Following year booster

Tribovax 10 x 2ml

Bovipast RSV x 5ml

Dosing with Vecoxan as a preventative measure - when best to dose with this…

Had been using Vecoxan but used Dycoxan last 2 to 3 years (vets told us Vecoxan was gone off market but it’s not) & had coccidiosis issues so going back to Vecoxan - on vet’s instructions ended up dosing for coccidiosis 4 times last year - that’s not good for man nor beast…..

We run a dairy calf to finished beef system where we buy in about 80 bill calves directly from a small few dairy farmers (BIL is ai man so he knows the breeding in these herds) each year. To ensure every calf is fully vaccinated we run our own vaccination program.

Yeah Vecoxan is €340 for 2.5L & Dycoxan is €242.25 for 2.5L but we weren’t happy with the Dycoxan & ended up dosing 4 times last year which was very expensive so going back to the Vecoxan in the hope of better results.

At what age/stage do you give the Bovicox

Ok so no need to give bovipast until sept that's what i was thinking its expensive enough. The rispoval is that up the nose? Also would you not give the calves a shot of multi-min when the arrive as I was advised to give a shot to calves when born here 1-2cc so I was planning on doing the same when buying calves in april.

What milk replacer to do find has the best nutritional value?

I don't know the vet just said it so I done it probably should have asked. But I just assume its gives there immune system a boost helps overcome deficiency they may have. In a low selenium area here
