Hygieia - Streptococcus Uberis Bacterin

Dry Cows, Incoming Heifers
Dry cows and incoming heifers are managed separately from the rest of the herd. Cows already in the dry pen when the rest of the herd is being vaccinated should be vaccinated beginning at three weeks fresh, with three doses of vaccine spaced at monthly intervals. If possible, heifers should be vaccinated at seven and eight months gestation, with a third dose given at three to four weeks fresh. Otherwise, vaccinate heifers on the same protocol as dry cows.

Individual Cow
If a cow shows an elevated SCC on two consecutive tests, or has a single test above 500,000, a booster dose should be given.

Subsequent Years:
Once the entire herd has been vaccinated, a rolling vaccination schedule is used to maintain herd immunity. Rolling herd vaccination times vaccine doses to the lactation cycle, much like a J-5 type vaccine. Vaccinate at dry-off, mid-dry, and at three to four weeks fresh. Alternatively, cows may be vaccinated at dry-ofX three to four weeks fresh, and at seven to eight weeks fresh.
If a cow shows an elevated SCC on two consecutive tests, or has a single test above 500,000, a booster dose should be given.

General Instructions:
Shake well before using, and occasionally during use. Administer 5cc subcutaneously (under the skin) to each animal. Do not vaccinate within two weeks before or after freshening.
