Bovi-Shield Gold FP 5 L5 HB Cattle Vaccine

Bovi-Shield Gold FP 5 L5 HB – Complete Disease Protection

Bovi-Shield Gold FP 5 L5 HB is an MLV bovine vaccine used to vaccinate breeding and expectant cows for protection from respiratory and reproductive illness. It’s a spectrum bovine vaccine for protecting against Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), Bovine Viral Diarrhea Types 1 & 2 (BVD Types 1 & 2), Parainfluenza3 (PI3), Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV), and five strains of Leptospirosis (L5). Additionally, this vaccine provides hardjo-bovis (HB) protection that guards against Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo (L. Hardjo-bovis), a main cause of infertility and reproductive losses in cattle.

Benefits:

• Deeper Reproductive & Respiratory Protection: Shields cattle against IBR, BVD Types 1 & 2, PI3, BRSV, and Leptospirosis (L5 & HB).
• Hardjo-Bovis (HB) Protection: Assists in eliminating L. Hardjo-bovis infections, reducing infertility and fetal loss.
• Safe for Pregnant Heifers & Breeding Cows: Can be given to pregnant cows only if they have previously been vaccinated with a Bovi-Shield Gold FP vaccine.
• Prevents Abortions & Infertility: Stops early embryonic death, fetal infection, and reproductive loss.
• Modified-Live Virus for Long-Lasting Immunity: Provides strong, long-lasting protection in a single dose injection.

How is Bovi-Shield Gold FP 5 L5 HB administered?

Administer as a 2 mL intramuscular (IM) injection for complete protection for reproductive and respiratory use.

Directions:

General Directions: Vaccination of healthy cattle is recommended. Aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried vaccine with the liquid bacterin provided, mix well, and administer 2 mL subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Under Beef Quality Assurance guidelines, this product should be administered SC in the neck region.

Primary Vaccination: Administer a single 2-mL dose to all breeding cows approximately 1 month before breeding or being added to the herd, followed by a single dose of Spirovac® L5 4-6 weeks later. 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 at least 30 days prebreeding.

Revaccination: Historically, annual revaccination with this product was recommended. The need for annual booster vaccinations has not been established for this product; consultation with a veterinarian or the manufacturer is recommended. Good animal husbandry and herd health management is recommended.

Precautions:

Do not use in pregnant cows (abortions can result) unless they were vaccinated, according to label directions, with any Bovi-Shield GOLD FP or PregGuard GOLD FP vaccine within the past 12 months. Do not use in calves nursing pregnant cows unless their dams were vaccinated within the past 12 months as described above. Do not vaccinate calves under 3 months of age.

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.

Store at 2°-8°C. Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures and/or direct sunlight may adversely affect potency. Do not freeze.

Use entire contents when first opened.

Sterilized syringes and needles should be used to administer this vaccine.

Do not sterilize with chemicals because traces of disinfectant may inactivate the vaccine.

Inactivate unused contents before disposal.

Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter.

Fetal health risks associated with the vaccination of pregnant animals with modified live vaccines cannot be unequivocally determined by clinical trials conducted for licensure. Management strategies based on the vaccination of pregnant animals with modified live vaccines should be discussed with a veterinarian.

Vaccination of stressed animals should be delayed.

Occasional hypersensitivity reactions may occur up to 18 hours postvaccination. Owners should be advised to observe animals during this period. While this event appears to be rare overall, dairy cattle may be affected more frequently than other cattle. Animals affected may display excessive salivation, incoordination, and/or dyspnea. Animals displaying such signs should be treated immediately with epinephrine or equivalent. In nonresponsive animals, other modes of treatment should be considered.

Contains gentamicin and thimerosal as preservatives.

As with many vaccines, anaphylaxis may occur after use. An initial antidote of epinephrine is recommended and should be followed with appropriate supportive therapy.

Do not mix with other products, except as specified above.

In case of human exposure, contact a physician.

This product is efficacious in healthy animals. A protective immune response may not be elicited if animals are incubating an infectious disease, are malnourished or parasitized, are stressed due to shipment or environmental conditions, are otherwise immunocompromised, or the vaccine is not administered per label directions.
