P.I. calves

[Gayle Hilgeman]

Today I had a yearly heifer calf that had titanium vaccine last Dec.
Do You think I have a PI calf or do you think it`s all right?

That's a good question, Gayle. To be sure I understand it correctly---

You had a yearling heifer calve today. She was vaccinated with Titanium in December. Obviously, she was bred when vaccinated and you didn't know it or else you wouldn't have used the Titanium. Now you're wondering if you could have a BVD persistently infected (PI) calf. Is that it?

Best thing for you to do is to contact Agrilabs and talk to one of their vets. I'm giving you a link that will take you to their BVD page. It also has a link to email their vets directly.

Interesting question, though. Please let us know what you find out.

That's a good question, Gayle. To be sure I understand it correctly---You understood correctly and I went to the web site but no answer yet. But the calf seems to be healthy and doing great. Thanks.

I called Agri Labs and they said it was impossible for a calf to be
a P.I. calf from the vaccine.
