I presume you mean Bovipast RSP. The Bovilis range is shown below.



In this case the IBR component has not been covered. It usually hits older animals than calves but that isn't absolute. Most farmers don't aim to cover the entire range. Once the immediate 'fire' is out, you could get your vet to take some blood samples to see if IBR antibodies are present. If they are you need to add Bovilis IBR Marker (live) to your schedule for next year, maybe in mid autumn.

Two shot vaccines take a while to become effective so some planning ahead is needed. Intranasal vaccines will work quicker and shortly after the single required shot. They don't work for as long and need follow up to extend that period if it it is deemed necessary.

Thanks Greyside that’s really good to know

Do lads use easy breather licks? Use them on weanlings but wondering if there just a bit like molasses/vicks scented candles.
