ImmuCell introduces First Defense Tri-Shield®, a groundbreaking USDA/CFIA-approved scours preventative for the three primary scours-causing pathogens in newborn calves: rotavirus, coronavirus and K99+ E. coli is now available in Canada.
The new First Defense Tri-Shield® combines the E. coli and coronavirus antibodies contained in ImmuCell’s legacy product, First Defense®, with a guaranteed level of rotavirus antibodies.
“Bringing a preventative calf care product to the Canadian market which protects against the three leading causes of scours in newborn calves is a game-changer,” says Bobbi Brockmann, vice president of sales and marketing with ImmuCell. “First Defense Tri-Shield® breaks the mold when it comes to scours protection, providing an alternative to the traditional calf- or dam-level vaccinations.”
Administered orally in a single-dose gel tube, First Defense Tri-Shield® eliminates the need for calf- or dam-level scours vaccinations.
“No vaccine means the calf can save its energy for what’s important – growth – instead of diverting energy away to mount a vaccine immune response. Eliminating dam vaccination(s) means less stress on the cow, increases the response rate to critical vaccines and clears room in the vaccination schedule,” says Brockmann. “First Defense Tri-Shield® offers the industry an opportunity to go Beyond Vaccination, providing a better way to protect calves from scours.”
One dose of First Defense Tri-Shield® provides immediate immunity. There’s no need to stimulate an immune response or follow-up with annual boosters. All calves are protected equally with guaranteed antibody levels in every dose. And, delivery is targeted to valued calves, maximizing return on investment.
