[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 594012, member: 852"] So the WY state vet was in my Animal Science class today talking about his job (it's one of those lower-level classes designed because "we know 90% of you won't get into vet school, so here's what else you can do with your life")... anyway, he was talking about the Brucellosis aspect of it and I went down and quizzed him afterwards. Cleared up a few misconceptions I had so I'm passing my new info on to y'all... 1) Vaccinating bulls for brucellosis with the RB51 strain will not make them sterile. In fact, he said he knew several producers who routinely vaccinate bulls because they can be carriers as well if infected. 2) Vaccinating animals older than 12 months for brucellosis will not result in a high titer at slaughter. It [i]was [/i]an issue with the previous vaccine (strain-19) but the regulations haven't caught up with the new vaccine yet. He said he's recommending many herds in the high-risk area (esp around Yellowstone National Park) vaccinate cows on a yearly basis. Just FYI... [/QUOTE]
