    Takes 3 weeks for IM to work and two days IN... calves are ment to be done IN as a given first time anyways and then get a booster IM at 3 months

    If they're sick and showing symptoms intra nasal, as it works almost immediately, If it's preventative then under the skin should do, I think

    The older ones aren't thriving as well as they should there 8 -9 wks old and not as good as they should be.

    Whole herd is currently vaccinated

    I could be wrong, but if they're outside at this stage it's a waste of time. Would consider August and around housing in Nov/Dec being the threat.

    Let me know if I'm wrong :-)

    Would it be usual for calves to look better the day they got the vaccine?
    Did 20 of the calves today and they look a lot perkier and more active in the pen tonight

    If done intranasally... You should notice a difference quickly...

    Takes a week. Usually have to inject them with selectan to cover them for the few days.
