You have been the only source of info that I have on vaccine interaction. You specifically warned of interactions of other vaccines with the MLV FP vaccines. I am in the process of planning my spring vaccinations. I wonder if there is anything I can give with the MLV FP to reduce the number of vaccinations/times I run the cows through. Here are my questions:
Keep in mind that my cattle share a fenceline where the neighbors cows and mine contact each other. I know he does not vaccinate and frequently brings in stockyard replacements!
1. If I have given the MLVs FP with other vaccines in the past, do I need to proceed with the assumption that my cattle do not have adequate immunity?
2. I don't want to start over as if my cows do not have adequate immunity as the first question implies. Therefore, if I keep the interactions in mind from here on out, will the cattle dieties send me to He!!?
3. What can be given at the time of the MLV FP? I use the BS Gold FP 5 VL5 so it already covers most of what I vaccinate for except Clostridial.
4. You stated not to give Clostridial vaccines at the same time as MLV FP like Bovi-Shield. So I will give my Clostridial (UltraChoice 8, Zoetis) separate. Does the Clostridial interact with anything else that is commonly used?
PS: Please Explain this, does these directions mean that only the VL 5 and BRSV require the second dose in 3 to 4 weeks and all the others are covered in the first dose, thus, if one gives Spirovac, it should be give later not at the same time as I am suggesting above:
Directions for Bovi-Shield Gold FP 5 VL5
1. General Directions: Vaccination of healthy cattle is recommended. Aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried vaccine (Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5) with the liquid bacterin provided (Vibrio/Leptoferm-5™), shake well, and administer 2 mL intramuscularly. In accordance with Beef Quality Assurance guidelines, this product should be administered in the muscular region of the neck.
2. Primary Vaccination: Administer a single 2-mL dose to all breeding cows and heifers approximately 1 month prior to breeding or being added to the herd, followed by single doses of Vibrio/Leptoferm-5 and Bovi-Shield BRSV 3–4 weeks later.
3. Revaccination: Annual revaccination with a single dose of Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 VL5 is recommended.
4. Good animal husbandry and herd health management practices should be employed.
