Abstract

Study objectives were: 1) to determine the effect on growth of administering a clostridial vaccination at the base of the ear, versus in the neck; 2) determine the relative risk of developing an injection site reaction and(or) being mis-diagnosed with bovine respiratory disease (BRD); and 3) determine the percentage of subcutaneous neck injection-site reactions that are removed during hide pulling.
