Bimeda Biologicals® Launches Stimulator® 5 + PMH
Bimeda Biologicals® is pleased to announce the newest addition to their Stimulator® line of modified live virus (MLV) vaccines: Stimulator® 5 + PMH. With this launch, Bimeda Biologicals adds to their broad portfolio of cattle vaccines another effective combination vaccine that helps protect cattle against some of the most common—and costly—viral and bacterial pathogens associated with Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD).
This vaccine takes Bimeda Biologicals 5-way viral vaccine—that has proven its ability to go toe-to-toe with some of the most commonly used and more recognized MLV vaccine brands in large-scale research trials—and combines it with bacterial antigen to provide veterinarians and cattle producers a new, cost-effective option to help keep the cattle that they care for healthy.
Stimulator 5 + PMH has been shown to be effective for the vaccination of healthy cattle five months of age or older against Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), Bovine Viral Diarrhea Type 1a (BVD I), Bovine Viral Diarrhea Type 2 (BVD II), Parainfluenza3 (PI3), Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV) as well as Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida.
This product, like other combination vaccines, requires the user to aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried modified live vaccine with the accompanying bottle of bacterin-toxoid. Mix reconstituted vial well. Administer 2.0 mL subcutaneously in the side of the neck followed by a second dose of Mannheimia haemolytica–Pasteurella multocida (PMH BAC™) to be given 14 to 28 days after the first dose.

Custom Vaccines
BETTER PREVENT THE PREVENTABLE
BY CHECKING ALL THE BOXES WITH A CUSTOM-MADE VACCINE
It’s hard to “check all the boxes” if you are designing a vaccination protocol that covers all the disease-causing bugs your animals may encounter, especially if you are limited to using only commercial vaccines. Read
A custom vaccine, also known as autogenous vaccine, is a useful tool veterinarians and livestock producers can use to address new or uncommon strains of viral and/or bacterial pathogens affecting their animals when commercial vaccines just aren’t getting the job done.
Custom vaccines are killed (inactivated) viral and/or bacterial vaccines that contain herd-specific antigens isolated and identified through diagnostics. Like most commercial killed vaccines, autogenous vaccines also include an adjuvant to improve the vaccinate's immune response.
Our experienced staff has been producing custom vaccines for veterinarians and the producers they service for 20+ years and our entire team strives day-in and day-out to provide you with unparalleled customer service from start to finish.
The USDA approves the use for custom (autogenous) vaccines to protect animals against disease-causing organisms, by or under the direction of a veterinarian, when:
- A fully licensed commercial vaccine is not available
- The organism exhibits a high degree of genetic variation and requires improved antigen specificity
- When commercially licensed products have failed to provide adequate protection

WHEN IT COMES TO BRD,
PREVENTION IS GENERALLY MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN TREATMENT
Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD), also known as "shipping fever", is a costly disease that affects cattle throughout the United States across all segments of the industry. While there are many factors that contribute to its development and progression, decades of research have identified five viruses and five bacteria as the predominate disease-causing pathogens associated with the complex disease. Read
BRD Associated Viruses
- Parainfluenza 3 (PI3)
- Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) Type 1
- Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) Type 2
- Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV)
- Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR)
BRD Associated Bacteria
- Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica Type A1
- Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica Type A6
- Pasteurella multocida
- Mycoplasma bovis
- Haemophilus somnus
There are a lot of variables that need to be considered when building the right vaccination protocol for your operation. Making sure your vaccine protocol is covering the most common viral and bacterial contributors to the disease is a good start. Ultimately, at the end of the day, it is important to choose the right products, give them the right way and at the right time.
All of our commercial cattle vaccines were developed specifically for stocker and feeder cattle to provide protection against all 10 of the most common BRD-causing pathogens. They are available in a variety of different combinations and presentations to meet your operations’ specific needs.
We recommend working with your veterinarian to build an effective vaccination protocol specifically for your operation.

Why Choose Stimulator Vaccines?
RELEVANT
Stimulator vaccines were developed 10-20 years after most other commonly used straight MLV vaccines. As a result, an additional decade’s worth (or more) of insights and understanding were used to build Stimulator vaccines. We selected strains to maximize cross-protection against the most prevalent subtypes affecting your cattle.
QUALITY
All viral antigens contained in Stimulator vaccines have been genetically tested to confirm stability and purity to ensure they have not mutated during the production process.
SAFE
Unlike most MLV’s for cattle, no fetal bovine serum is used at any stage of production of the viruses or the cells contained in Stimulator vaccines. This guarantees that no extraneous, unwanted bovine viruses are introduced from fetal bovine serum.
EFFICACY
Stimulates protective immunity so your cattle are better equipped to remain healthy and productive when faced with common viral challenges.
PROTECT YOUR CATTLE AND YOUR
BOTTOM LINE.
Our PRO-BAC™ vaccine line was developed specifically for stocker and feeder cattle and offers the most complete protection against five of the most common BRD-causing bacteria:
- Mannheimia haemolytica Type A1 (MhA1)
- Mannheimia haemolytica Type A6 (MhA6)
- Pasteurella multocida (Pm)
- Histophilus somni / Haemophilus somnus (Hs)
- Salmonella typhimurium (St)
No other vaccines available on the market can say the same.
All of the PRO-BAC vaccines are powered by our proprietary adjuvant Reveal ATS™. Learn more about the Reveal ATS Advantage

Why Choose PRO‑BAC VACCINES?
QUALITY BACTERIAL ANTIGENS
Our antigens are grown in specific conditions to maximize expression of all virulence factors, which optimizes post-injection antigen presentation in order to elicit a stronger immune response to better protect your cattle against the bacterial challenges they may face later on—whether that is on the ranch or in the feedlot.
CONVENIENCE
Available in both 50-dose and 100-dose bottles, PRO-BAC vaccines come ready-to-use requiring no chute-side mixing and are administered in a BQA-friendly 2.0 mL subcutaneous (SQ) dose in the side of the neck.
VERSATILITY
Choose the right antigen combination to plug into your current vaccination protocol to fill the gaps other vaccines aren’t covering to set your calves up to perform on the ranch and in the feedlot.
EFFICACY
Our unique manufacturing process and proprietary adjuvant system (Reveal ATS™) results in vaccines that provide a high level of protection against the costliest BRD-causing bacteria without the harsh side effects often associated with the vaccination of mid- to high-risk cattle.

DEALING WITH HIGH PULL RATES, POOR TREATMENT RESPONSE AND SWOLLEN JOINTS IN RECENTLEY WEANED CALVES?
YOUR VACCINE PROTOCOL MAY BE MISSING A KEY PIECE.
Mycoplasma bovis is one of the most prevalent of all the bacterial pathogens affecting young cattle during periods of elevated stress such as weaning and transportation. In general, the higher the “risk classification” of a particular group of cattle the greater the possibility of a Mycoplasma problem. Read
The typical “myco” infections begin to show up about 3 weeks after exposure and can cause respiratory disease as well as crippling arthritis. Due to it’s extremely small cell size and lack of a ridged cell wall, many antibiotics are rendered ineffective against M. bovis resulting in increased pull rates, poor treatment response and unusually high death rates.
MYCO-BAC® was the first fully licensed Mycoplasma bovis (also referred to as ‘Mycoplasma’ or ‘Myco’) vaccine approved by the USDA in 2002. It was originally developed by the team at Texas Vet Lab, Inc. following years of clinical observation and diagnostic/laboratory research as well as significant experience producing effective autogenous vaccines for feedlot and stocker veterinarians and consultants from across the country.
MYCO-BAC is powered by our proprietary adjuvant Reveal ATS™. Learn more about the Reveal ATS Advantage

The Benefits of Vaccinating with MYCO‑BAC
COST SAVINGS
When it comes to Mycoplasma bovis, prevention is almost always cheaper than treatment. Not only will a myco infection negatively impact cattle’s’ performance by keeping them off feed and water, effective treatment options are limited which often leads to high labor and drug expenses.
REDUCED MORBIDITY & MORTALITY
Field trials coupled with expansive experience and understanding of the disease support that giving MYCO-BAC, according to the labeled 3-dose regiment administered on days 0, 7 and 14, will reduce morbidity and mortality as well as increase treatment response success in vaccinated cattle.
EFFECTIVE
Our unique manufacturing process combines quality bacterial antigen with our proprietary adjuvant system (Reveal ATS™) to create a strong, specific immune response to prevent and control respiratory disease due to M. bovis.
