With effective immunity in one dose, Bovine Pili Shield can be administered from 8 weeks to 10 months prior to calving. Bovine Pili Shield + C can be administered anytime within 8 to 16 weeks prior to calving. This allows you the flexibility of timing your vaccination program to fit your schedule and avoid stressing close-up cows. Dairy cows can be vaccinated at dry-off.
Both Bovine Pili Shield and Bovine Pili Shield + C incorporate the exclusive Xtend® III adjuvant, which provides effective immunity with a single 1 mL dose prior to calving.
Bovine Pili Shield and Bovine Pili Shield + C protect the calf by producing antibodies that are passed through the cow’s colostrum to the calf at birth. To assure passive protection to the calf, it is vital that calves receive adequate volumes of colostrum from the dam within the first few hours after birth.
INDICATIONS: This product has been shown to be effective for the vaccination of healthy pregnant cattle to provide passive immunity in calves against disease caused by Clostridium perfringens Type C and
against colibacillosis caused by K99 piliated Escherichia coli. The duration of immunity for these antigens is unknown. For more information regarding efficacy and safety, go to productdata.aphis.usda.gov
