Bovine Vaccine

Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is estimated to cause between 50-90% of all sickness that occurs in feedlots. BRD is said to cause annual productivity problems that cost the industry $60 Million.

BRD is associated with young calves after mingling with other cattle at auctions, feedlots, livestock shows and in trailers. Animals that are affected don't gain weight as well and are more costly to manage. It is considered that pre-conditioning cattle prior to feedlot induction will significantly reduce the economic impact of BRD and therefore be a valuable management tool for feedlots.

Feeder Guard is a system developed by Elders for preparing cattle for feedlot entry. Feeder Guard™ membership allows suppliers to identify cattle that have been treated according to the prescribed pre-induction protocol. In recognition of the effectiveness of the protocol, feedlots can readily identify and pay premiums for those cattle inducted into the feedlot which are supplied under the Feeder Guard™ program.

This is your best defence against the negative impacts of BRD on your herd. Only through proper and thorough verification by Feeder Guard can you truly know the state of your cattle.
