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.
