Broad-spectrum Scours Protection From Scour Bos

Dr. Tabb Spoonamore, DVM, a member of the Gateway Animal Care Group in Clarksville, Tennessee, knows that cattle producers only need to experience one bad scours outbreak before they start using a scours vaccine like Scour Bos®.
“If you don’t manage scours, calves will get dehydrated and either end up dying from dehydration or become poor growers throughout their lives,” said Spoonamore. “After losing a few calves to scours or having to catch sick calves and tube feed them fluids and electrolytes, producers quickly realize that controlling scours with a vaccine is much easier.”
Spoonamore recommends Scour Bos because of its broad-spectrum coverage. “Although I see scours caused by multiple pathogens among my clients’ herds, E. coli causes us the most problems by far,” says Spoonamore. Containing four E. coli isolates, more than any other scours vaccine on the market in one dose, Scour Bos targets a key pathogen in Spoonamore’s area.
“Scour Bos really covers scours across the board, protecting against not only E.coli, but also rotavirus and coronavirus,” adds Spoonamore.
That’s why Spoonamore’s clients ask for Scour Bos by name. “I know that every year when it’s time to vaccinate, my producers request Scour Bos.”
