Maintaining a proper cow vaccination schedule is essential to prevent infectious diseases that can severely impact cattle health and dairy or meat production. Common diseases like Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Hemorrhagic Septicemia, Black Quarter, and Brucellosis pose serious risks to unvaccinated animals.
The vaccination program usually starts in young calves, who receive their first doses within a few months after birth. Booster shots are given regularly to maintain immunity throughout the cow’s life. Adult cows also need scheduled vaccines based on veterinary advice and regional disease risks.
In addition to vaccines, good nutrition, clean water, and proper shelter contribute significantly to strengthening the immune system of cows. Farmers should monitor their herds closely and consult veterinarians immediately if any symptoms of illness appear.
Following the recommended cow vaccination schedule helps minimize disease outbreaks, reduce treatment costs, and improve overall herd productivity and longevity.
