used too, use bio moss in the mineral during late gestation and out with the calves cows
Biomoss is a great product and especially where there is a history of
scours. I really believe it isn't the scour vaccine so much as it is
a good immune system that helps to not have scours.
We always used Scourguard 3KC and was scared not to--until 1997 when
we had a terrible spring storm and couldn't get the cows to the
chute to vaccinate them. We of course, have them on a year round
mineral program--and we didn't have any incidence of scours so
we quit the Scourguard 3KC. The immune system of our calves
was such that scours didn't happen.
We listened to a program put on by the local veterinarian about
scour vaccine and they talked for 45 minutes about immune system and how important mineral was; before they even got to their vaccine presentation. If your calves immune system is lacking the vaccine can't
do it's job properly.
FWIW
