A preventative herd health plan includes vaccination, biosecurity, proper nutrition, parasite management, and understanding common routes of pathogen exposure.
Clostridial spores that cause black leg, red water, and other clostridial diseases are found in the environment. Vaccination of both calves and adults is critical.
Lepto can be spread by both cattle and wildlife. Vaccination is key in managing this pathogen.
Viruses that cause IBR, BVD, PI-3, and BRSV are commonly spread from animal to animal. Good biosecurity and vaccination are important to reduce impacts on performance and reproduction.
Biosecurity is key to preventing trich and vibrio, which are spread through breeding activity.
