Co. Cork vet outlines why vaccinating this winter suits most farmers
Willie Buckley is a veterinary practitioner at Riverview Veterinary Group in Bandon. When an annual IBR programme became available, many of the practice’s herds switched over to it.
Willie outlines why this suits most of their farmers: “Most of our herds are spring calving, so December and January are ideal months to booster the entire herd with Rispoval IBR-Marker inactivated under the skin.
The Rispoval Yearly IBR programme is convenient, reliable and offers all of our clients comprehensive protection regardless of the level of IBR infection in their herds.
