Description

UPJOHN J-5 BACTERIN™ Escherichia Coli Bacterin J-5 Strain delivers twice the protection against coliform mastitis. As the original J-5 strain bacterin, UPJOHN J-5 BACTERIN is proven in millions of doses, and is backed by the strongest investigative data package of any mastitis vaccine in the world. Its three-dose regimen stimulates the immune system for optimum immune response (including cell-mediated immunity) and greater control over endotoxin load.

- Reduces the incidence of coliform mastitis by as much as 80 percent

- Reduces the severity of cases that do occur in treated cows, leading to decreased cull rates resulting from coliform mastitis
