Rotavec® Corona

Increases antibodies in colostrum and milk

Calves are born without antibodies to fight infection. They rely completely on high-quality colostrum for protection against scours-causing pathogens.

It is critical that calves receive enough of the right antibodies in colostrum, and then in transition milk, to reduce their risk of scours.
Rotavec Corona significantly elevates neutralising antibodies in colostrum and milk for at least 28 days post-calving. 1

Boosts levels of both G6 and G10 antibodies

Cows vaccinated with a single serotype produce antibodies to all serotypes to which they have had prior exposure. This response has been demonstrated by numerous researchers. 2,3,4

Reduced environmental contamination

Faeces from calves fed colostrum from Rotavec Corona vaccinated cows contain less virus. This results in reduced environmental contamination and less likelihood of virus spread to uninfected calves. 5

Calf Health Checklist

Create a calf rearing action plan. The Calf Health checklist will help identify key processes, combined with a veterinarian’s knowledge, to create a workable action plan to identify areas that may help with the rearing of healthy calves.
