Zoetis - Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 VL5 Vaccine for Cows & Heifers

Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 VL5 is a freeze-dried vaccine that is a preparation of modified live virus (MLV) strains of IBR, BVD (Types 1 and 2), PI3, and BRSV. The Campylobacter bacterin is an inactivated suspension of C. fetus. It is combined with inactivated Leptospira bacterin prepared from whole cultures of the agents indicated. The Campylobacter-Leptospira bacterin is supplied as a diluent for the IBR-BVD-PI3-BRSV vaccine.

INDICATIONS:
Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 VL5 is for vaccination of healthy cows and heifers prior to breeding to prevent persistently infected calves caused by bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) virus Types 1 and 2 and as an aid in preventing abortion caused by infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR, bovine herpesvirus Type 1) virus; respiratory disease caused by IBR, BVD Types 1 and 2, parainfluenza3 (PI3) and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV); BVD Type 2 testicular infection; campylobacteriosis (vibriosis) caused by Campylobacter fetus; and leptospirosis caused by Leptospira canicola, L. grippotyphosa, L. hardjo, L. icterohaemorrhagiae, and L. pomona.

A 12-month duration of immunity has been demonstrated against IBR-induced abortion and persistently infected calves caused by BVD Types 1 and 2. Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 VL5 may be administered to pregnant cattle provided they were vaccinated, according to label directions, with any Bovi-Shield GOLD FP or PregGuard® GOLD FP vaccine within the past 12 months.

Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 VL5 may also be administered to calves nursing pregnant cows provided their dams were vaccinated within the past 12 months as described above.

To help ensure safety in pregnant cattle, heifers must receive at least 2 doses of any Bovi-Shield GOLD FP or PregGuard GOLD FP product with the second dose administered approximately 30 days prebreeding.
