PI Calves Can Hurt a Milking Herd

Tricia Badillo from Shadycrest Holsteins talks about the impact the BVDV and persistently infected (PI) calves can have on a milking herd.

Top Reasons to Use EXPRESS FP

1) Best defense against BVDV Type 1b

  • EXPRESS FP is the only fetal-protection vaccine labeled to protect against bovine viral diarrhea virus Type 1b, the most prevalent strain of BVDV.1


2) Prevents PI calves

  • BVDV Type 1b is a strain of BVDV in persistently infected calves, making vaccination crucial.

  • EXPRESS FP has been successfully tested for its ability to prevent BVDV persistent infection in the offspring of vaccinated cattle.


3) Proven protection

  • EXPRESS FP has results on its side, and so will you:

    • The vaccine has consistently held up against severe BVDV challenges, resulting in 96 percent (Type 1) and 97 percent (Type 2) protection, including challenges one year post vaccination.3

    • Due to the results of the comprehensive data package, and the level of protection demonstrated by EXPRESS FP, USDA APHIS has granted a prevention of persistently infected calves caused by BVDV Types 1 and Type 2 label claim for EXPRESS FP vaccines, with at least 365 days’ duration of immunity.3


4) Increased immunity

  • EXPRESS FP gives your cows and calves increased immunity against the diseases that pose the greatest risk to cattle operations.

  • EXPRESS FP offers:

    • Twelve-month duration of immunity against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) abortions, PI calves and disease caused by BVDV Types 1 and 2 (including Type 1b).

    • Protection against Leptospira hardjo-bovis ; vaccinated animals exposed to the pathogen have been shown to clear renal infections within eight weeks of exposure.

    • Convenience and flexibility in vaccination timing.

    • The protection and durability of a modified-live virus vaccine.
