Hereford and Red Angus Heifers Recruited for Genomics Research

The University of Missouri is recruiting 2,500 Hereford heifers and 2,500 Red Angus heifers to participate in a heifer puberty and fertility genomic research project. Heifers should be registered Hereford, registered Red Angus, or commercial Hereford or Red Angus. Hereford x Red Angus crossbred heifers targeted for the Premium Red Baldy Program would also be a good fit for the research project. Producers must be willing to work with a trained veterinarian to collect the following data: ReproductiveTract Scores collected at a pre-breeding exam 30 to 45 days prior to the start of the breeding season. PelvicMeasurements (height and width) collected at the same pre-breeding exam 30 to 45 days prior to the start of the breeding season. Pregnancy Determination Using Ultrasound reporting fetal age in days. Ultrasound will need to occur no later than 90 days after the start of the breeding season. In addition, heifers must have known birth dates and have weights recorded eithe

The fetus is the most susceptible to disease of any animal on the farm. The cow is basically a barrier for the fetus.
Good biosecurity practices are more impactful (important) than a vaccine protocol. But, in reality, the two work together.
Most disease problems are the results of purchasing practices. (Buying a BVD-PI cow for example.)
Modified live vaccines are not 100% safe. MLV vaccines can only be in pregnant animals if she has previously been vaccinated with a MLV. For pre breeding, should be used 30 days, and preferably 45 days, before the breeding season.
Killed vaccines are not 100% effective.
Two doses in time (2 to 4 weeks apart based on label) is still the best. The memory B and T cells created from two doses are what provide long term, lasting immunity.
Why do we use the same vaccines year after year? There is a new approach called Prime Boost. In this approach an animal receives two rounds of modified live vaccine. Then sometime in the future the animal receives an inactivated (killed) vaccine. Animals that receive a Prime Boost protocol have improved antibody titters and immune response.
Each farm must balance pathogen and vaccine risk. If the farm purchases bred replacement, the risk of BVD PI  entry is high. A MLV or combined approach is likely needed in this situation. If the vaccination status of the cows is unknown, a killed vaccine is safer.
