Bovine Ecolizer®
Beef Cattle Vaccine
Product
Information [pdf]
Newborn calves are protected against disease
primarily through “passive
immunity.” This occurs when protective antibodies are passed
from the dam to the nursing calf in colostrum. In some cases, however,
this protection may not be enough.
Calves may need added scours protection
in these situations:
- Cow was not vaccinated
- Vaccination program was incomplete or poorly
timed
- Heifers may not develop adequate immune capacity
- Calf is weak or
having trouble nursing
- Colostrum quantity or quality is poor
- Unusually severe outbreak
of scours in the herd
- Complications of mud, wet and cold weather,
crowding
Bovine Ecolizer helps prevent
calf scours by supplementing the antibody protection a newborn calf
receives from its
dam.
It is a no-stress oral product
that gives calves direct protection against E.
coli bacteria by preventing these bacteria from attaching to
the calf’s intestine.
Bovine Ecolizer+C20 is available in single-dose syringes for simple,
stress-free and sanitary dosing. It provides newborn calves with
immediate, dependable protection against scours caused by E.
coli and C. perfringens Type C. The new single-dose syringes make this
product even more convenient for producers to administer. The product
should be administered as close as possible to calving, ideally
within the first four hours after birth, to be most effective.
Bovine
Ecolizer products must be given as close as possible to the birth
of the calf, as they
will lose
about 5%
absorption for
each
hour of delay.
