Abstract

lntramammary infections with coliform organisms can lead to endotoxemic disease in the dairy cow, as well as localized disease in the mammary gland itself. Gram negative bacterial core antigen technology is now being used to help prevent both localized and systemic effects of endotoxins. Information concerning the use of an Escherichia Coli Bacterin Toxoid J-5 Mutant Vaccine, J-Vac™ produced by Sanofi Animal Health, in combating an experimental coliform infection in lactating dairy cows will be presented.
