Bovi-Shield GOLD 5 may be administered to pregnant cattle provided they were vaccinated, according to label directions, with any Bovi-Shield GOLD FP^® or PregGuard^® GOLD FP vaccine within the past 12 months. Bovi-Shield GOLD 5 may also be administered to calves nursing pregnant cows provided their dams were vaccinated within the past 12 months as described above. To help ensure safety in pregnant cattle, heifers must receive at least 2 doses of any Bovi-Shield GOLD FP or PregGuard GOLD FP product with the second dose administered approximately 30 days prebreeding.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Bovi-Shield GOLD 5 is a freeze-dried preparation of modified live virus (MLV) strains of IBR, BVD (Types 1 and 2), PI₃, and BRSV viruses, plus a sterile diluent used to rehydrate the freeze-dried vaccine.

Directions For Use

General Directions: Vaccination of healthy cattle is recommended. Aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried vaccine with the sterile diluent provided, mix well, and administer 2 mL subcutaneously or intramuscularly. In accordance with Beef Quality Assurance guidelines, this product should be administered SC in the neck region.

Primary Vaccination: Administer a single 2-mL dose to healthy cattle. The presence of maternal antibody is known to interfere with the development of active immunity in cattle and additional boosters will be required in most young animals.

Revaccination: Historically, annual revaccination with this product was recommended. The need for booster vaccinations has not been established for this product; consultation with a veterinarian or the manufacturer is recommended.

Good animal husbandry and herd health management practices should be employed
