[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1179759, member: 12607"] Have routinely been administering TAT & TT to animals - cattle & horses, for 30+ years, based on recommendations of my microbiology and immunology professors; cannot say that the thinking hasn't changed, but I'm unaware of it if it has. They complement one another, not cancel each other out - I just would not make the two injections in the same spot. Ideal is to have two appropriate doses of TT administered to any animal that's at risk - but, as many folks are banding calves and larger bulls these days, I'd recommend a dose of TAT and TT at the time of band application and a booster of the TT 2-4 weeks later. Have seen too many trainwrecks where TT was administered at the time of band application, and in the race between the organism/toxin and the animal' immune system...the bacteria win. As Louis Pasteur said, "C'est les microbes qui auront le dernier mot." - the microbes will have the last word! [/QUOTE]
