Bovigen Scour – Scour Protection That Lasts

Virbac is excited to announce changes to the SPC of one of their best-selling livestock brands Bovigen Scour.
Bovigen Scour is a one shot vaccine for the immunisation of pregnant cows and heifers to raise antibodies against E.coli F5 (K99), rotavirus and coronavirus. Passive immunity is achieved through feeding calves with sufficient colostrum from vaccinated cows during the first week of life. The antibodies reduce the severity of diarrhoea and reduce the shedding of virus by calves infected with bovine rotavirus or bovine coronavirus.
Bovigen Scour has been granted a 10 day shelf life from first puncture of the vial. The broached bottle must be kept refrigerated between 20C and 80C until the next use. Whilst this may not seem a huge change, this significantly increases the cost effectiveness and convenience of use to farmers. Bovigen Scour is available in 5 and 30 dose bottles. The SPC changes mean that:
- Administration is more convenient as cows do not have to be handled all at the same time or treated on the same day.
- This makes it more cost effective to the farmer as they can use larger vials, the vial does not have to be thrown away after the first broach so there is less wastage.
- Bovigen Scour is a one shot vaccine with a wide vaccination window. It is to be given 12-3 weeks before calving, so there is more opportunity for farmers to vaccinate more of their dams, reducing the effects of neonatal calf diarrhoea and providing increased peace of mind.
