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.

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.

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.
