antigens or vaccines. Take time to become familiar with your vac- cines and their possible side ef- fects before chute-side treatment. It’s easier to know what to look for than to wish you hadn’t thrown away the labels and instructions when you have an ill animal on your hands. Become familiar with the types
of vaccines as well as terms and ab- breviations used in vaccine names. Letters in the name can signify dis- eases or strains included in a vac- cine (BVD, HB) or types of protec- tion provided by the vaccine, such as fetal protection (FP).
Keep good records Record all treatment dates, vac-
cine names, serial and lot numbers, expiration and withdrawal dates, dosages, cattle processed, route of administration, animal weights or group average, location of injection and names of person or persons administering the treatment. This information can become especially important when marketing cattle at sale time. The TBQP program recommends
keeping all records for at least 2 years from the date of transfer or sale of the cattle. Full-page sample forms are available for download from the TBQP website at texas-
beefquality.com.
No leftovers When working with vaccines
that must be mixed prior to use, such as a modified live virus (MLV) product, prepare only as much product as can be admin- istered within 1 hour. The TBQP program handbook recommends buying vaccines in smaller con- tainers and mixing as needed, as opposed to mixing larger batches all at once.
