    Essentially, yes. One claims more effectiveness against Bacterial Redwater than the other.

    Is it advisable to go for the more expensive products marked Covexin 10, Tribovax 10 etc. - or are we being over cautious.

    Another quick question, our calves are due their booster Covexin 10 next weekend, would it be ok to give them their first Bovipast RSP injection on the same day.

    We give yearlings 2 shots
    Is that overkill?

    It is if they got two shots the first year. Only require one shot once they’ve had the booster.

    All products sold have to prove their quality and effectiveness, so they should work. My policy is if there isn't much of a price penalty is to go with the original.

    Given that C-10 is immunising against 10 diseases at the same time, I think 3 more is pushing it. Try to leave it about 2 weeks before assaulting them again.
