In addition, Vincent Robles, Reproductive Ruminants Brand Manager, presented to the veterinary audience the global solution proposed by HIPRA for the control of these 4 important viruses – which not only cause BRD, but also reproductive disorders – a compound of the tetravalent vaccine HIPRABOVIS®4 and an innovative diagnostic tool, BOVIRESPcheck®, to identify viruses by PCR.

Robles pointed out that vaccination was possible from young animals to adult cows, providing protection for all the animals in the herd. This new milestone reinforces HIPRA as the ideal partner for prevention, providing vets with practical and effective solutions for health control in cattle.
