Calf Scours Prevention: Two Challenges, One Proactive Approach

When it comes to calf scours prevention, producers face more than one challenge. Cryptosporidiosis (Crypto) is a common cause of diarrhea in young calves, but it's not the only threat. Bovine rotavirus is another major contributor to neonatal calf scours, and both infections can occur simultaneously, creating additional challenges for calf health.

Introducing Crypto Guard Plus® with ImmunoBoost Rota

That's why we developed Crypto Guard Plus® with ImmunoBoost Rota — a practical approach designed to address two common causes of calf scours with one easy-to-administer product.

Crypto Guard Plus combines the Crypto-focused approach of Crypto Guard® with protective proteins from two commonly identified strains of bovine rotavirus, G6 and G10, in a dual oral adjuvant system.

The goal is straightforward: begin priming the calf's immune response at the gut level before exposure to Cryptosporidium or rotavirus occurs.

Why Calf Scours Prevention Requires a Proactive Approach

Traditional drug-based and supportive therapies can help manage the clinical signs of calf scours. However, these approaches do not necessarily prevent infection or shedding, and their benefits may be limited to the treatment period.

Taking a proactive approach to calf health means supporting the calf's defenses before these common pathogens become a problem.

By addressing both Cryptosporidium and rotavirus, Crypto Guard Plus offers producers another tool for their calf health management programs.

Simple to Administer. Easy to Incorporate.

Like Crypto Guard, Crypto Guard Plus is administered orally, making it convenient to incorporate into existing calf-feeding routines.

Early administration to healthy calves is preferred, but Crypto Guard Plus can also be administered to older animals.

For producers looking to simplify their calf health management practices, this approach offers a convenient way to address two persistent challenges without adding unnecessary complexity to daily routines.

Two Challenges. One Practical Solution.

Cryptosporidium and rotavirus remain significant concerns for calf producers. Having a proactive strategy that addresses both pathogens can be an important part of a comprehensive calf health program.

Crypto Guard Plus® with ImmunoBoost Rota brings together two targeted approaches in one easy-to-use product, helping producers take a proactive approach to managing calf scours.
