WHAT'S NEW
PIONEER OFFERS
SCOURS VACCINE
Pioneer Hi -Bred Limited of
Chatham has introduced a vaccine for
the prevention of bacterial scours in
both swine and cattle.
"Ecoli Guard is recommended as an
aid in the prevention and reduction of
scours -related sickness and death in
both piglets and calves," says Rudy
Nusink, marketing manager. "It con-
tains antigens specifically selected to
combat bacterial scours in both spe-
cies."
Administered in two doses prior to
farrowing or calving, Ecoli Guard is
transferred to the baby pigs or calves in
the mother's colostrum or milk.
In newbom pigs, the product offers
protection from scours caused by en-
terotoxemia of Clostridium perfringens
Type C as well as colibacillosis caused
by K88, K99, and 987P postivie E. coli
serotypes. These are the strains identi-
fied as causing the greatest amount of
scouring in neonatal swine.
In calves, the vaccine helps to pre-
vent scours caused by enterotoxemia as
well as colibacillosis with K99 positive
E. coli serotypes, the strain most preva-
lent in neonatal calves.0
ADDITIVE DETERS
COCCIDIOSIS
Rumensin, a feed additive from
Elanco, is now registered to help pre-
vent coccidiosis in beef cattle. Rumen -
sin is already widely used in commercial
feedlots to improve feed efficiency and
lower the cost of gain.
Coccidiosis is a highly contagious
form of enteritis which causes damage
to the lining of the intestine of cattle. In
severe cases, it can cause death.
It is estimated that coccidiosis costs
the North American cattle industry mil-
lions of dollars a year. Even more im-
portant are the losses caused by the
subclinical effects of coccidiosis: im-
paired feed conversions and lower
average daily gains.
Rumensin in the cattle feeding pro-
gram can help prevent the disease by
killing its organism in the intestine be-
fore it causes damage.0
