calf vaccination programe

ellewood

Was just putting plan in place for all this years calves and would like to hear opinions on vaccination programes for suckler calves for the year

IBR - which product for best and longest cover

blackleg ect - can a 1 shot be got

Dosing - what dosing products give the longest protection

Any other vaccines/dosing required for calves??


Thanks

1 bovipast at 3 days and 3 weeks later for pneumonia

2 worm dose 4/5 weeks after turnout plus first blackleg shot

3 calf mineral bolus at first dose

4 blackleg booster 3 weeks after first shot

5 worm dose every 8 weeks after that with zearl

6 test dung sample in October to access fluke situation and act on results

Anyone using Cydectin LA? Thinking of using it this year.

Edit: Still asleep. Ormond, how is it working out for you?

Give bovillis up the nose at around 12days. Give bovipast same day. Shot of vecoxan too
Booster with bovipast roughly month later. Blackleg in May when testing.
Cydectin la in the ear in June.
Bovillis in the muscle bout late aug/sept.
Worms and fluke in late October.
I have stopped losing strong calves to pneumonia since vaccinating.
They can still get a touch of it bout they'll respond away faster to the drugs.
The ibr booster in sep I find is great to cover the calves before weaning and cuts down injecting over the winter.
Dose yearling after being out for 6 weeks with a drench.

Shouldn't the black leg primary course be given before they hit grass. In that they won't be covered until a few weeks after second shot
