Vaccination

Below is a list the recommended vaccines for beef and dairy herds.

Calves

• 2-12 weeks:
  Virus pneumonia
  Blackleg and other clostridial diseases
  Lungworm (Husk)
  Ringworm

Calves should be vaccinated before periods of high risk i.e. before housing and before 1st turnout. High risk farms should also give cattle a booster vaccination before 2nd turnout.

Heifers and cows       

• IBR
  
• BVD
  
• Leptospirosis
  
• Salmonella
  
• Bluetongue

Heifers should be vaccinated twice before 1st service and before entering the main herd.
Cows should receive an annual booster vaccination.
Herds with a high risk of IBR should vaccinate the cows twice yearly with the IBR vaccine.

If you are concerned about any of the above diseases in your herd then please speak to one of our vets to discuss a vaccination plan.
