Action
Feeding calves with Colostrum: In order to ensure the effective prevention of gastroenteric disease in calves, calves must receive adequate colostrum from vaccinated cows or heifers. Newborn calves should receive at least 2L of this colostrum, preferably from the first milking and within 6 hours. Calves should continue to receive colostrum and milk from vaccinated cows and heifers for at least 2 weeks after birth at the rate of 2.5 – 4 L per day, to ensure maximal protection.
Optimum protection of calves against infection is achieved if all cows and heifers in the herd are vaccinated, annually.
Indication
When calves consume colostrum and milk from vaccinated cows during the first two weeks of life, these antibodies prevent neonatal diarrhoea caused by bovine rotavirus, coronavirus and E.coli expressing F5 (K99) adhesin, and reduce faecal shedding of virus in calves infected with bovine rotavirus and coronavirus.
Dosage
CATTLE: Administer 2 mL by intramuscular injection 12-3 weeks prior to calving.
Annually revaccinate with a single dose of Biobos RCC 12-3 weeks prior to each subsequent calving.
The recommended site is the anterior third of the neck. To minimise the potential for swelling at the site of injection, ensure vaccination is by deep intramuscular injection. Do not vaccinate at sites other than the recommended site.
Shake well before use.
