Section 5 - Vaccinations


 
 

The use of biological products for the prevention of such diseases as IBR, PI3, Lepto, BVD, and BRSV will lessen the chance of residue problems at processing time and minimize the necessity for treatment later in the cycle.  However, cattle do not always arrive in healthy condition and immediate treatment may be necessary.  Many treatment routines include vaccines to stimulate immune system response and lessen the chance for retreatment.

Vaccinations (biologicals) may reduce the need for antibiotics and other medications which can lead to residue problems.
