One backgrounding field study was conducted
at two locations to compare the health and performance of high-risk receiving steers
given an ExpressTM 5-Pasteurella Haemolytica-
Multocida (PHM) vaccine or a Titanium® 5-PHM Bac®-1 vaccine. At one location, calves given the Titanium 5-PHM vaccination
had fewer first and second repulls (P<0.05). At the other location, calves given the Express 5-PHM vaccination had fewer initial
pulls for respiratory disease and more hospital pen days at initial pull (P<0.05) than those given Titanium 5-PHM. No differences were measured at either location for mortality and average daily gain.
