ScourGuard 4KC Cattle Vaccine

ScourGuard® 4KC Vaccine for Cattle

ScourGuard® 4KC is a combination vaccine for healthy pregnant cows and heifers that helps protect their calves against diarrhea (scours) caused by bovine rotavirus, bovine coronavirus, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) with the K99 pili adherence factor, and Clostridium perfringens type C. By vaccinating dams before calving, the vaccine helps provide passive immunity to newborn calves through colostrum. The primary vaccination series consists of two intramuscular doses, followed by a booster before each subsequent calving.

Benefits:

• Calf scours protection: Helps provide passive immunity to calves against several important viral and bacterial causes of neonatal diarrhea.
• Four disease targets: Covers bovine rotavirus, bovine coronavirus, K99-positive enterotoxigenic E. coli, and Clostridium perfringens type C.
• Maternal vaccination: Designed for healthy pregnant cows and heifers to help protect their calves.
• Herd health support: Helps support calf health when used alongside good colostrum management, sanitation, and herd health practices.

Protects Against:

• Bovine rotavirus: Serotypes G6 and G10.
• Bovine coronavirus: A viral cause of calf diarrhea.
• Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (E. coli): Strains carrying the K99 pili adherence factor.
• Clostridium perfringens type C: A bacterial cause of enteric disease in calves.
