The Effect of 7-Way Clostridial Booster Vaccination at Reimplant on Subsequent Sudden Death Syndrome

Mortality Rates at a Nebraska Feedlot

Abstract

The effect of 7-way colostridial booster vaccination at reimplant on subsequent Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) rates at a 35,000 head, Nebraska feedlot was investigated using all cattle reimplanted between January 1, 1993 and April 1, 1994. The definition for SDS used was consistent with that advanced by Williams in 1976.
