Bimeda Biologicals® is pleased to announce the newest addition to their Stimulator® line of modified live virus (MLV) vaccines: Stimulator® 5 + PMH. With this launch, Bimeda Biologicals adds to their broad portfolio of cattle vaccines another effective combination vaccine that helps protect cattle against some of the most common—and costly—viral and bacterial pathogens associated with Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD).

This vaccine takes Bimeda Biologicals 5-way viral vaccine—that has proven its ability to go toe-to-toe with some of the most commonly used and more recognized MLV vaccine brands in large-scale research trials—and combines it with bacterial antigen to provide veterinarians and cattle producers a new, cost-effective option to help keep the cattle that they care for healthy.

Stimulator 5 + PMH has been shown to be effective for the vaccination of healthy cattle five months of age or older against Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), Bovine Viral Diarrhea Type 1a (BVD I), Bovine Viral Diarrhea Type 2 (BVD II), Parainfluenza3 (PI3), Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV) as well as Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida.

This product, like other combination vaccines, requires the user to aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried modified live vaccine with the accompanying bottle of bacterin-toxoid. Mix reconstituted vial well. Administer 2.0 mL subcutaneously in the side of the neck followed by a second dose of Mannheimia haemolytica–Pasteurella multocida (PMH BAC) to be given 14 to 28 days after the first dose.

Custom Vaccines

BETTER PREVENT THE PREVENTABLE

BY CHECKING ALL THE BOXES WITH A CUSTOM-MADE VACCINE

It’s hard to “check all the boxes” if you are designing a vaccination protocol that covers all the disease-causing bugs your animals may encounter, especially if you are limited to using only commercial vaccines.

A custom vaccine, also known as autogenous vaccine, is a useful tool veterinarians and livestock producers can use  to address new or uncommon strains of viral and/or bacterial pathogens affecting their animals when commercial vaccines just aren’t getting the job done.

Custom vaccines are killed (inactivated) viral and/or bacterial vaccines that contain herd-specific antigens isolated and identified through diagnostics. Like most commercial killed vaccines, autogenous vaccines also include an adjuvant to improve the vaccinate's immune response.

Our experienced staff has been producing custom vaccines for veterinarians and the producers they service for 20+ years and our entire team strives day-in and day-out to provide you with unparalleled customer service from start to finish.

The USDA approves the use for custom (autogenous) vaccines to protect animals against disease-causing organisms, by or under the direction of a veterinarian,  when:

  1. A fully licensed commercial vaccine is not available
  2. The organism exhibits a high degree of genetic variation and requires improved antigen specificity
  3. When commercially licensed products have failed to provide adequate protection
