Backed by nearly 20 years of industry research and independent veterinary trials, Pyramid^® 5 + Presponse^® SQ continues to protect calves against the major viruses and bacteria causing bovine respiratory disease (BRD).

In a two part series we are going to look at two independent veterinary trials assessing these products. These trials were to determine if the best vaccine protocol was being used at a feedyard in Colorado.

Trial No. 1 was a head-to-head study comparing PYRAMID 5 to BoviShield^® GOLD 5 and BoviShield GOLD IBR BVD.¹ For full study results, see Volume 42 Issue 1 of The Bovine Practitioner.

In this study, PYRAMID 5 clearly demonstrated statistically significant improvements in morbidity and railers compared to BoviShield GOLD 5 in head-to-head trial, resulting in:

Cattle prices are skyrocketing, and producers won’t want to lose even one calf to disease this fall. It is important to protect them with a product that has years of demonstrated results. PYRAMID 5 has shown it will protect calves in the most challenging disease environment — the feedyard. If it works here, just think of what it could do for your operation.
