Zelnate It's Not an Antibiotic. It's Not a Vaccine.

Bovine Respiratory Disease or BRD is a complex disease with many contributing factors — including stress that compromises the immune system.

Dr. Larry Hawkins, Senior Technical Services Veterinarian for Bayer Animal HealthCare LLC shares more about Bayer's produce Zelnate and says that it would be important to add to your herd's health program during stressful times: like weaning, co-mingling, and hauling.

 

Hawkins: "It works with antibiotics or with vaccines to help the animal's immune system get ready to fight stressful times. Our approval research indicated that you will have a reduction in lung lesions and a reduction in mortality. We've had it out not quite a year now and that has proved to be true in the field studies as well — especially the reduction in mortality. So, it is a payback to the producer — of course death loss is a loss for everybody. No one gets paid on that. In fact we've got an expenditure to take of that animal. So Zelnate is good at that. It gears up the animal's immune system to fight infection."
