SCOUGARD 4XS – Inactivated Vaccine

Neonatal diarrhea is one of the leading causes of calf mortality in the first weeks of life, causing significant economic losses for farms. The only effective solution for preventing this problem is SCOUGARD 4XS from Zoetis. The vaccine is designed to immunize healthy pregnant cows, creating a high level of antibodies in colostrum against the most dangerous pathogens: rotavirus (serotypes G6 and G10), coronavirus, enterotoxigenic E. coli strains (K99 adhesion factor), and Clostridium perfringens type C.

The main advantage of SCOUGARD 4XS for large dairy and beef complexes is the provision of passive protection for calves through maternal colostrum. Vaccinating cows allows the newborn calf to receive ready-made immune protection from the very first feeding, which is critical for survival in farms prone to diarrhea. The vaccine is administered subcutaneously at 5 mL, with a primary vaccination conducted twice at a 3–4 week interval, ensuring stable protective factor levels during the prepartum period.

Implementing SCOUGARD 4XS in your farm’s veterinary protocols is the most reliable way to protect young stock and reduce treatment costs for calves. Animals protected from the first hours of life demonstrate high growth energy and improved survival rates. Using this proven world-class vaccine ensures farm biosecurity and stable profitability by minimizing the risk of mass outbreaks of intestinal infections.
