How to Use

Directions for Use  

General Directions

• Vaccinate Healthy Cattle: Only give the vaccine to healthy animals to keep them safe and strong.
• Rehydrate Carefully: Mix the freeze-dried vaccine with the provided diluent, making sure everything stays clean.

Primary Vaccination

• Administer Single Dose: Administer a single 2-mL dose of Bovi-Shield GOLD One Shot to healthy cattle carefully.
• Consider Maternal Antibody: Maternal antibodies may interfere with active immunity development, reducing vaccine effectiveness in young calves.

Revaccination

• Annual Revaccination: In the past, farmers usually gave this vaccine once a year to keep the herd protected.
• Booster Needs: It’s not fully known if boosters are always needed, so extra shots might not be required.
• Ask for Advice: Talk to your vet or the manufacturer to see if your herd needs another round.
• Check Herd Immunity: Keep an eye on your herd’s health and immunity before planning any revaccination to make sure protection lasts.
• Follow Expert Guidance: Always follow professional guidance when implementing revaccination to maintain cattle health and prevent disease outbreaks.
