[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1066575, member: 17767"] I got a second response to some specific questions. BTW, Lucky, I agree about feeding the CTC. I am not a big fan of excessive use of antibiotics (humans or animals). Cost does not deter me from protecting my animals if I have a choice. Here is Dr. Luther's response: [i]Our vaccine is made with the same strain of Anaplasma marginale and in the same procedure as Mallinckrodt's "PLAZVAX" (a USDA Licensed Anaplasmosis Vaccine) was made.
