[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1799862, member: 9933"] We just got in a small supply of ViraShield at our local Farmers Coop, but the kind with Vibrio or Lepto added is not available, and they have no idea when it will be. I really need the Lepto vaccine with Hardjo Bovis in this area. I have used ViraShield VL5 HB on the cows for years, mostly because the Modified Live is so limited on when it can be used. This year we went ahead and vaccinated with Bovi-Shield Gold FP5 VL5 a modified live vaccine. I had thought you couldn't use MLV when cows are pregnant or when they have calves on them, unless they were vaccinated with a MLV as heifers. Cows are always pregnant or nursing, so it seemed like it was impossible to ever use MLV. My Vet assured me that since the cows have been vaccinated regularly with a killed vaccine that included all of the same things, it was safe to vaccinate with a MLV 30 days prior to bull turnout. I had used a MLV vaccine on heifers since 2021, but most cows had never been exposed to a MLV. I will now be able to use MLV on all cows from now on, since they will always be within 12 months of their last vaccination with MLV. [/QUOTE]
