University Products Urges Veterinarians to Prioritize Bovine Anaplasmosis Vaccination This Spring

BATON ROUGE, La., Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the spring season approaches, University Products is reminding veterinarians across the nation of the critical importance of vaccinating bovine against anaplasmosis. With an increasing prevalence of the disease in many regions, the timely administration of the University Products Anaplasmosis vaccine is paramount to safeguarding herd health and ensuring the productivity of cattle operations.

Anaplasmosis, a tick-borne bacterial infection, poses a significant threat to cattle health, leading to anemia, weight loss, reduced milk production, and, in severe cases, death. The disease not only impacts animal welfare but also has substantial economic implications for ranchers and the livestock industry. Early spring, when tick activity begins to rise, is the ideal window for vaccination, ensuring that cattle have ample protection as exposure risks increase.

"Spring is a critical time for preventive care in livestock management," states Ashlanne Luther of University Products. "Our Anaplasmosis vaccine is designed to provide robust immunity, reducing the severity of the disease and helping to maintain overall herd health. We strongly encourage veterinarians to incorporate this vaccination into their spring herd health protocols."

University Products' Anaplasmosis vaccine requires two doses the first year with one annual booster each year after the first year.  The second dose should be given four weeks after the first dose.  It takes time for the immune system to develop the immunity after the vaccination.  The animal should get good protective immunity in a week to ten days after the second injection of vaccine. By using the vaccine, veterinarians can significantly reduce the incidence and impact of anaplasmosis in cattle populations, leading to healthier herds and improved farm profitability.

Veterinarians play a key role in educating producers about the importance of timely vaccinations. The University Products vaccine is an essential tool in the preventive care arsenal against anaplasmosis. "We are committed to supporting veterinarians with products that meet the highest standards of quality and performance," added Luther. "Our goal is to work with animal health professionals to promote preventive strategies that benefit both animal welfare and the economic stability of livestock operations."

In addition to offering a reliable vaccine, University Products provides comprehensive resources to help veterinarians and producers manage anaplasmosis risk. Detailed product literature, vaccination schedules, and access to our team of experts are available to assist in implementing effective vaccination programs. By staying informed and proactive, veterinarians can help mitigate the adverse effects of anaplasmosis, ensuring cattle remain healthy during the critical spring season and beyond.

University Products invites all veterinarians to review the latest guidelines on bovine anaplasmosis vaccination and to contact them further information or to place an order. Early preparation and timely vaccination are key to a successful livestock management strategy that minimizes disease outbreaks and maximizes herd productivity.
