CLINICAL PARTICULARS

TARGET SPECIES
Cattle (pregnant cows and heifers)
4.2
INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
For the active immunisation of pregnant cows and heifers to raise
antibodies against
_E. coli _
adhesion F5
(K 99) antigen, rotavirus and coronavirus. When calves are fed
colostrum from vaccinated cows during
the first week of life, these antibodies have been demonstrated to
reduce the severity of diarrhoea caused
by bovine rotavirus, bovine coronavirus and enteropathogenic
_E. coli_
F5 (K99) and to reduce the
shedding of virus by calves infected with bovine rotavirus or bovine
coronavirus.
Onset of immunity: Passive immunity commences with colostrum feeding
and is dependent on calves
receiving sufficient colostrum after birth.
