Neonatal diarrhoea is a common problem found on many cattle farms in the UK and is a major cause of economic losses for farmers, estimated to cost the UK cattle industry around £11million annually.

Fencovis® is the most recent addition to the well-established Boehringer Ingelheim cattle vaccine range. It is licensed to prevent calf scour caused by bovine rotavirus and E coli K99, to reduce the incidence and severity of scour caused by bovine coronavirus and to reduce faecal shedding in scour caused by bovine rotavirus and bovine coronavirus.

Fencovis® combines killed antigen with an oil-free adjuvant to deliver optimal safety and efficacy. It comes as a ready-to-use injection available in 1, 5 and 25 dose packs.

In this podcast, we speak to independent animal health researcher Jamie Robertson and Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health ruminant vet advisor Becca Cavill to explore some of the preventive steps that would be useful to discuss with clients to help reduce the risk of scour in calves.
