Yes, I will use an appropriate BVD vaccination strategy on mature cows.Selecting an appropriate vaccination strategy for mature cows is an important control step. Use the same BVD vaccination strategy on bulls as your cows. A sound vaccination strategy for all cattle in the herd is needed to create a high level of herd immunity. --- The program that you have chosen may not eliminate BVD from your herd. If you do not test your herd for BVD PI status and cull the positive animals, you will be relying on herd immunity to prevent the formation of new PI calves. Fair herd immunity can be established with the vaccination program that you selected but it will not prevent the formation of PI calves. Your heifers in particular will be likely to produce PI calves. Work closely with your veterinarian to evaluate these recommendations and make the best choices for your herd. If you would like to revise some of your answers, please close out of the program and go through BVD CONSULT again from the beginning. Changing some of your answers may change the other recommendations, or the emphasis that is placed on a particular practice. |
