The first and only commercially available vaccine for prevention of pinkeye in cattle caused by Moraxella bovoculi. It contains 8 different M. bovoculi isolates. Because it is a preventative for only M. bovoculi pinkeye, it should be given in addition to traditionally available pinkeye vaccines which offer protection against Moraxella bovis. Administer 2 ml SQ to cattle 14 weeks of age or older; repeat in 21 days. Moraxella bovoculi Bacterin Pinkeye Vaccine is conditionally licensed and requires authorization from your veterinarian. Upon your request, we will contact your veterinarian to request authorization on your behalf.
M. bovoculi is often referred to as "Winter Pinkeye" due to its ability to cause pinkeye year-round. Previously, the only way to biologically prevent M. bovoculi outbreaks was through a diagnostic and autogenous program, which required taking cultures so a qualified lab could create a custom herd vaccine. Conditionally licensed; not available in all states.
