Jeffers Pet offers an array of Cattle Somnus Vaccines, essential for protecting cattle against Haemophilus Somnus, a bacterium responsible for respiratory and reproductive diseases. Our selection includes vaccines from top brands like Merck and Zoetis, ensuring effective immunization. These vaccines are crucial for maintaining the health and productivity of cattle herds, especially in environments prone to bacterial infections.
How effective are the vaccines?
For optimal protection, the vaccines must be handled with care and administered to cattle in good health. While commercial bacterins are available, their effectiveness can vary, making it essential to monitor the health of the cattle post-vaccination.
When should the vaccines be administered?
The vaccines should ideally be given 4-6 weeks before breeding. Timing is of the essence—if the breeding period is less than 6 weeks away, a killed product is recommended.
What other precautions should be taken?
Regular deworming, at least once a year, is advised. This should be done at least two weeks before bull turnout or estrus synchronization for artificial insemination to ensure the cattle’s optimal health.
Are there any side effects?
Certain modified live vaccines can be safely used in pregnant animals, provided they are used strictly per the label's directions. It’s always best to consult a veterinarian for specific recommendations and treatment plans.
