Bovi-Shield Gold FP 5 L5 – Prevent BVD, IBR & Lepto

In providing complete reproductive and respiratory coverage against breeding and pregnant cattle, Bovi-Shield Gold FP 5 L5 is an MLV vaccine modified for cattle. Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis, Bovine Viral Diarrhea (Types 1 & 2), Parainfluenza3, Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus, and five strains of Leptospirosis (L5) are among the diseases it prevents. It protects against early-term abortions, fetal infection, and reproductive loss, and as such, should be an integral part of a breeding herd health program.

How is Bovi-Shield Gold FP 5 L5 administered?

It is given in the form of a 2 mL intramuscular (IM) injection. Calves need to be vaccinated at least 30 days before breeding for full protection.

Directions:

General Directions: Vaccination of healthy cattle is recommended. Aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried vaccine with the liquid bacterin provided, mix well, and administer 2 mL intramuscularly. Under Beef Quality Assurance guidelines, this product should be administered in the muscular region of the neck.

Primary Vaccination: Administer a single 2-mL dose to all breeding cows and heifers approximately 1 month before breeding or being added to the herd.

Revaccination: Historically, annual revaccination with this product was recommended. The need for booster vaccinations has not been established for this product; consultation with a veterinarian or the manufacturer is recommended.

Good animal husbandry and herd health management practices should be employed.

Precautions:

Do not use in pregnant cows (abortions can result) unless they were vaccinated, according to label directions, with any Bovi-Shield GOLD FP or PregGuard GOLD FP vaccine within the past 12 months. Do not use in calves nursing pregnant cows unless their dams were vaccinated within the past 12 months as described above.

To help ensure safety in pregnant cattle, heifers must receive at least 2 doses of any Bovi-Shield GOLD FP or PregGuard GOLD FP product with the second dose administered approximately 30 days prebreeding.

Store at 2°-8°C. Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures and/or direct sunlight may adversely affect potency. Do not freeze.

Use entire contents when first opened.

Sterilized syringes and needles should be used to administer this vaccine. Do not sterilize with chemicals because traces of disinfectant may inactivate the vaccine.

Inactivate unused contents before disposal.

Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter.

Contains gentamicin as preservative.

Fetal health risks associated with the vaccination of pregnant animals with modified live vaccines cannot be unequivocally determined by clinical trials conducted for licensure. Management strategies based on the vaccination of pregnant animals with modified live vaccines should be discussed with a veterinarian.

As with many vaccines, anaphylaxis may occur after use. An initial antidote of epinephrine is recommended and should be followed with appropriate supportive therapy.

Do not mix with other products, except as specified above.

In case of human exposure, contact a physician.
