Rispoval IBR Marker vaccines

Do you want to vaccinate your cattle for IBR once a year?

The Rispoval Yearly IBR Programme has been tried and tested in Ireland since 2012, with both vets and farmers nationwide confident that they can rely on Rispoval for IBR protection.

Rispoval IBR Yealry programme
*All animals over 3 months must receive a single dose of Rispoval IBR Marker Live (within 6 months) before using Rispoval IBR Marker Inactivated on a yearly basis.

Rispoval Yearly IBR vaccination:

Year 1: Cattle over 3 months of age  receive one dose of Rispoval IBR-Marker Live (intramuscularly) followed by one dose of Rispoval IBR-Marker Inactivated within 6 months.

This dose of Rispoval IBR-Marker Inactivated provides 1 year IBR protection.

Year 2: A single yearly booster of Rispoval IBR Marker Inactivated should be given.

No other IBR vaccine combination in Ireland is licensed for both yearly vaccination and prevention of abortion associated with IBR (Bovine Herpes virus 1)**.

Advantages of the Rispoval Yearly IBR programme

  • Lifetime herd approach
  • IBR protection for all animals from a young age
  • Clear, simple message
  • Reduction of virus shedding
  • Prevention of IBR abortion**
  • Labour saving as fewer vaccines required 
  • Vaccination of the entire herd in December is both convenient & effective 
  • Combining a live and an inactivated vaccine stimulates the immune response in different ways, resulting in a more complete immunity
  • No need to assess herd seroprevalence. It simply suits all herds.  

Rispoval IBR Marker Live is a POM(E) vaccine for cattle and is available in 10 dose and 50 dose vials. Animals over 3 months of age should receive a single 2ml dose intramuscularly to provide 6 months IBR protection. Calves less than 3 months of age, and over 2 weeks of age, can receive a single 2ml dose intranasally, and should be revaccinated from 3 months of age intramuscularly.

**In order to prevent abortion in female cattle that have only received their first single dose of Rispoval IBR-Marker live, the booster with Rispoval IBR-Marker Inactivated should be given no later than by the start of the second trimester of pregnancy.
