What a great title for Michigan State University veterinarian Angel Abuelo’s presentation he shared during the Great Lakes Regional Dairy Conference on February 6th and 7th in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Bev Berens shared information Abuelo reviewed, including immunology basics, passive immunity and vaccinating cows, vaccinating calves and vaccination programs.
The article is a good review and reinforces what animal health pros have been taught over and over . . . “for the vaccination of healthy animals . . .” Summarizing Abuelo, Bev Berens writes, “focused cow and calf vaccinations, quality colostrum and herd-specific programs improve calf health.”
