COMPLETE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Used concurrently, INFORCE™ 3 and ONE SHOT® BVD work quickly to combat harmful bovine respiratory disease (BRD) pathogens and give calves a healthy start:

  • Rapid immune response — Intranasal administration of INFORCE 3 stimulates a rapid immune response where respiratory infections begin.1
  • More complete immune response — A study showed that INFORCE 3 did not result in infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) dominant antigen interference with injectable Mannheimia haemolytica vaccines.2
  • Superior respiratory protection — INFORCE 3 and ONE SHOT BVD offer the highest label claims in their categories.

  • Key Benefits

    Comprehensive bovine respiratory disease protection

    Together, the trusted performance of INFORCE 3 and ONE SHOT BVD helps protect calves from the most damaging pathogens associated with BRD:

    • Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV)
    • Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus
    • Parainfluenza 3 (PI3) virus
    • Mannheimia haemolytica
    • Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) Types 1 and 2 viruses

     

    Fewer re-treatments, better profits

    In a study, the use of INFORCE 3 and ONE SHOT BVD significantly reduced (p = 0.01) second and third BRD re-treatments compared with Vista® Once.3 Due to additional treatments and mortalities:

    • Cattle receiving Vista Once SQ resulted in $32.40 more per head in total costs.3
    • Cattle given Pyramid 5 + Presponse SQ had $16.78 more per head in total costs.3

  • Dosing & Administration

    INFORCE 3
    INFORCE 3 has been demonstrated to be safe for use in all ages and classes of cattle. That includes high-stress nursing calves, weaned calves, high-stress stocker cattle and pregnant heifers and cows.

    Directions:

    • Aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried vaccine with the sterile diluent provided and shake well.
    • Administer 2 mL intranasally using a cannula or a syringe with the needle removed.
    • Place half the dose (1 mL) in each nostril.

    Calves vaccinated before the age of 6 months should be revaccinated after 6 months of age to avoid possible maternal antibody interference with immunization. Annual revaccination with a single dose is recommended.

     

    ONE SHOT BVD
    ONE SHOT BVD 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. ONE SHOT BVD also may 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 two doses of any BOVI-SHIELD GOLD FP or PREGGUARD GOLD FP product with the second dose administered approximately 30 days prebreeding.

     

    Directions:

    • Vaccination of healthy cattle is recommended.
    • Aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried vaccine with the sterile diluent provided and shake well.
    • Administer 2 mL subcutaneously in the neck region, in accordance with Beef Quality Assurance guidelines.

    To avoid possible maternal antibody interference with active immunization, calves vaccinated before the age of 6 months should be revaccinated after 6 months of age or at weaning. Annual revaccination with a single dose is recommended. Good management practices support revaccination whenever subsequent stress or exposure is likely.
