Vaccination combines BRD vaccines

A new vaccine against BRD (Bovine Respiratory Disease) in cattle combines two popular vaccines. Brett Terhaar Technical Consultant with Elanco, tells Brownfield it’s what producers were wanting, “We have continually had requests for getting these two products together so you have one syringe. So, convenience is a BIG thing to producers.”

Terhaar stresses that now is the time to vaccinate, “Calves are being born all over the country this spring. I see them, you know, when I drive around. Last week through the Sand Hills of Nebraska – there’s cows calving all over the place. So, NOW is the time to set calves up for a successful fall.”

He says the combination vaccine helps protect against both the viruses and bacteria associated with BRD and has “a high safety profile.”
