MERIAL^® RESPISHIELD^® 4 cattle vaccine aids in the protection of healthy cattle in cow/calf operations against the most common respiratory viruses - infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), parainfluenza 3 (PI₃), bovine virus diarrhea (BVD), and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV). MERIAL RESPISHIELD 4 vaccine is approved for use in pregnant cows, calves nursing pregnant cows, and other cattle in contact with pregnant cows.

Animal health is critical in all phases of beef production. Getting calves on the ground and keeping them healthy for the feedlot, retained ownership, or as breeding stock means dealing with a number of health concerns. Sick animals may never catch up to those that stay well, so a sound, thorough health management plan can play a vital role.

University studies have demonstrated that liver flukes and other parasites can cause a suppressed immune response. Some parasites interfere with the animal's ability to develop an adequate immune response to vaccination.¹

RESPISHIELD 4 is part of the MERIAL^® SUREHEALTH™ Program for Beef Cattle. The MERIAL SUREHEALTH Program for Beef Cattle was developed in cooperation with veterinarians and includes IVOMEC^® Brand products for parasite control, MERIAL line of high-quality vaccines for respiratory and reproductive disease, and cow/calf best practices. When you follow MERIAL SUREHEALTH protocols, your veterinarian will be able to offer you the added value of MERIAL SUREHEALTH Preconditioning Certification, confirming that your cattle were raised under a standardized program including best practices and products with proven performance. Be sure to ask your veterinarian about the MERIAL SUREHEALTH Program for Beef Cattle.
