Rotavec Corona vaccine 40ml (20 doses)

Product description

Rotavec Corona Vaccine

The Rotavec Corona vaccine is for the active immunisation of pregnant cows and heifers to raise antibodies against E. coli adhesion E5 (K99) antigen, rotavirus and coronavirus. These antibodies protect calves against these diseases. Antibodies are transferred through the colostrum. The vaccination must be administered 3-12 weeks before calving begins. The Rotavec Corona vaccine is a single shot treatment. It is the vaccine of choice amongst veterinary professionals as it has been scientifically proven in the field.
