 Quick Shield™
Dairy Cattle Vaccine
Product Information [pdf]
Two viruses that cause many
diseases can be quickly stopped with one vaccine –Quick
Shield IN IBR-PI3.
Two common viruses of cattle – bovine herpes
virus Type 1, or BHV-1 and parainfluenza Type 3, or PI3 – can
cause of wide range of disease conditions. BHV-1, for example, causes
an upper
respiratory tract infection called IBR (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis,
also called “red nose”). BHV-1 also causes conjunctivitis,
or pinkeye, and is a major factor in reproductive disorders including
infertility, abortion, and weak or stillborn calves. PI3 alone
causes only mild respiratory problems, but it is usually found
with other
viruses in severe bovine respiratory disease cases.
Vaccination
with Quick Shield stimulates the production of interferon, which
causes the animal’s immune system to produce a rapid
non-specific anti-viral response. In virus challenge studies,
cattle vaccinated with Quick Shield showed extremely high levels
of protection,
and they shed little or no disease virus.
Because Quick Shield
is given intranasally (in the nose), there is no risk of injection
site lesions. The product goes directly
to the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth, where viruses
thrive, and has been shown to significantly reduce clinical signs
of IBR
and PI3 infection. Quick Shield also can be given
subcutaneously.
