Why do cows get pinkeye?
Pinkeye in cattle is most commonly caused by the bacteria Moraxella bovis and is spread through direct contact, flies (especially face flies), dust, tall grass irritating the eyes, UV light exposure, and stress. It spreads rapidly through herds during summer when face fly populations are high. Young cattle and cattle in crowded or dusty conditions are particularly vulnerable.

How long does a cattle pinkeye vaccine last?
Most cattle pinkeye vaccines provide protection for approximately one year, which is why an annual booster is the standard recommendation.
