Only once in a blue moon do we get a new vaccine for a disease that didn’t previously have a vaccine and recently we’ve had two! A vaccine for M. Bovis and the main subject of todays meeting which was , a vaccine for Cryptosporidium. A two dose primary course is given to the cow prior to calving which then provides Crypto antibodies for the calf in colostrum. We had presentations on Crypto the disease from Sarah and Claire from MSD spoke about the vaccine. Mark also spoke about Cocci, another cause of calf scour.
Thank you to -
🐮 All clients who came along.
🐮Claire and MSD for supporting the meeting.
🐮Pete and his team at for the super venue and food.

Will preventing calf scour be on your list of New Year Resolutions?? If so (and even if it’s not 😅) here is a reminder about our lunchtime calf meeting (for dairy and beef clients) on the 9th of January 2025. We hope you can join us.

“Dreich” is the word they use in Scotland to describe the weather of late, perfect conditions for calf pneumonia. Even the best ventilated sheds struggle with such a damp atmosphere and lack of air movement. It’s always about challenge vs protection but calves vaccinated for pneumonia will have an advantage in these circumstances. If you are struggling, don’t hesitate to give us a call.

One to watch 💈 ⚠️. We have seen several recent cases of Haemonchus in the practice which is a common finding across the vet labs at the moment. Also called Barbers Pole Worm, unlike other worms, this one takes a blood meal causing anaemia. Find out more at our next Sheep Client Meeting October 8th, 7pm at Kirkby Lonsdale Rugby Club. #heamonchus #barberspoleworm #scops
