Innate Immune System
• Physical barriers – skin, mm
• Chemical protection – tears, saliva, acid
• Primary cell types– Myeloid cells
• Neutrophils
• Eosinophils
• Basophils
– Macrophages
Measured by: Differential cell numbers Chemotactic activity Phagocytic activity

Acquired Immune System
• Cellular Immune Response– T lymphocytes
• TH
• TC
• Humoral Immune Response– B lymphocytes (Plasma cells)

Acquired Immunity
• Active immunity– Natural– Artificial
• Passive immunity

Biologicals and Pharmaceuticals
![Page 8: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Biologicals and Pharmaceuticals• Biologicals
– Made up of bacterins and vaccines– A bacterin/vaccine is a suspension of killed or
weakened microorganisms• Killed Vaccine
– Has no self-replicating microorganisms
• Modified Live Vaccines– Contain microorganisms that have been weakened through
culturing and laboratory procedures
![Page 9: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Biologicals and Pharmaceuticals
• Pharmaceuticals:– Are medicinal drugs.– Contain no live or killed microorganisms– Are used to treat a variety of health related
conditions– Almost every pharmaceutical has a withdrawal
period– Example: Antibiotics such as LA-200

Types of Drug Use• Labeled Use: Using the drug EXACTLY as it is specified on
this label. Medicated feed may only be used as directed by the label. Labeled use is legal and the type of use most producers use!
• Off Label: The PRODUCER uses drugs on their own in a manner other than what is stated on the label without veterinarian guidance. This is ILLEGAL!!
• Extra Label: The VETERINARIAN prescribes a drug to be used in a manner other than what’s on the label. This is legal and is used when a good veterinarian-client-patient relationship exists.

Vaccination• Vaccination is a good “protection” tool• Active immunity engaged through vaccinations
with biologicals• Vaccination is for prevention of disease
– Prevention of disease is cheaper than treatment of disease
![Page 12: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Points to Ponder
• Best Time to Vaccinate??• When do you need the most protection?• Before disease exposure occurs
– Takes 5-7 days for protection with most modified-live vaccines
– Killed vaccines require a booster within 2-4 weeks of initial vaccination to obtain adequate protection levels
• Don’t expect to vaccinate one day and get protection the next day
![Page 13: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Points to Consider?• What kind of vaccine?
– Killed – Modified-Live– Autogenous
• Advantages vs. Disadvantages
![Page 14: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Killed Vaccines
• Viruses, bacterins, toxoids– 1st dose to sensitize– 2nd dose to produce immunity
• Two doses required
![Page 15: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Killed Vaccine
• Advantages– Does not replicate in the animal– Safer to use in pregnant animals
• Disadvantages– Most require boosters– Tissue irritation at vaccination site
![Page 17: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Modified-Live Vaccines
• Advantages– Usu. requires one injection– Lower $$$, smaller dose– Less irritation at injection site– Longer immunity
• Disadvantages– May cause abortion in pregnant animals– Shouldn’t use on calves nursing preg. cows– Stress from mild form of disease
![Page 18: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Reasons forVaccine Failure
• Human Error:– Not following directions on the label!– Disinfectant used on syringes – Mixing several products together– Vaccinating at the wrong time – interval
![Page 19: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
More Reasons for Vaccine Failure
• Vaccine Factors:– Improper storage of vaccine– Use and restore
![Page 20: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
More Reasons for Vaccine Failure
• Host Factors:– Some animals don’t respond
![Page 21: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
More Reasons for Vaccine Failure
• Host Factors:– Severe challenge
![Page 22: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Recommended & Optional Vaccines
• Vaccine & est. cost per head: – Recommended:– 5-Way (IBR, BVD, PI3, BRSV) = $1.50 (all)– Blackleg (7-way) = $0.45 (all)– Leptospirosis & Vibriosis = $0.75 (cows)– Optional:– Pasteurella = $2.20 (calves)– Scours = $3.20 (cows)– Pinkeye = $0.85 (all)
![Page 23: Beef IQ Herd Health – Vaccination & Disease Prevention](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568157f2550346895dc56ebe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why Precondition?• Opportunity to profits• Benefits Both Buyer and Seller
– Seller will receive additional value on calves – Buyer realizes improved health and gain
performance
• Improve the welfare of our cattle

Pre-Con Protocol• Requirements differ between sales
– Wean Vac vs. VAC 45
• Process 2-4 wks before wean or at wean• 5-way: IBR, BVD Types 1&2, PI-3, BRSV• Blackleg – 7 way or 8 way• Past./H.somnus• Dewormer• Castrating, dehorn• Revac. in 2-6 wks.
