(K99) adhesin and to increase the level of passive immunity of calves against neonatal
diarrhoea caused by bovine rotavirus, bovine coronavirus and E. coli expressing F5 (K99)
adhesin.
In calves fed with colostrum and milk from vaccinated cows for the first week of life,
laboratory studies conducted with heterologous challenge strains (a G6 BRV strain, a
BCV strain, and a K99
-E. coli
(K99) adhesin,
-
coronavirus,
-
coronavirus.
Onset of immunity:
In calves fed with colostrum from vaccinated heifers or cows, passive immunity
commences with colostrum feeding and is dependent on calves receiving sufficient
colostrum after birth.
Duration of immunity:
Calves fed with colostrum and milk from vaccinated dams for the first week of life are
protected against bovine rotavirus for 7 days and against bovine coronavirus for 14 days.
The duration of immunity against infections caused by E. coli expressing F5 (K99)
adhesin was not studied since such disease is usually observed in calves less than 3
days of age and susceptibility to enterotoxigenic E. coli is age dependent.

Slowly warm up to room temperature and gently shake the content of the vial before
administration.
Administration:
One dose of 2 ml by intramuscular injection.
A single injection should be given during each pregnancy between 12 and 3 weeks
before the expected calving.
Colostrum feeding:
Calves are born without protection from antibodies. Immunity against calf diarrhoea is
provided by rapid uptake of colostral antibodies from vaccinated dams. The first
colostrum intake should take place as soon as possible, ideally within 2 hours and at
most 6 hours after birth. In dairy calves, it should represent a volume equivalent to
approximately 10% of the body weight, followed by a similar volume within 12 hours. Beef
calves should stand and suckle within 2 hours of calving.
