Pinkeye
Pinkeye Disease Impact

Pinkeye (infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis) associated with Moraxella bovis and Moraxella bovoculi is a major factor affecting cattle health and performance. Calves suffering from pinkeye weigh an average of 19.6 lbs less than healthy calves at weaning.1 Pinkeye associated with M. bovoculi is becoming a year-round problem.

Pinkeye costs producers an estimated $150 million every year due to decreased weight gain, decreased milk production, and treatment costs. Additionally, affected animals are often heavily discounted by buyers.

Strain Variation

Strain variation is an ongoing challenge when vaccinating for pinkeye with a commercial product.

Commercial Mor. bovis products only contain specific strains that may or may not be the same strains your cattle are facing.

Commercial products do not contain M. bovoculi.

These two factors make pinkeye a perfect candidate for a Custom Made Vaccine.

Custom Made Pinkeye Vaccines

Custom Made Vaccines are manufactured using the specific disease causing organism(s) circulating in your herd or the immediate area. Newport Laboratories utilizes cutting-edge diagnostic and production technologies to create a pinkeye vaccine targeting your specific needs.

Newport Laboratories’ traditional and molecular diagnostics help to identify and genetically analyze the organisms that are causing disease in your herd(s). Our technical service veterinarians will then help you determine which isolate(s) to include in your Custom Made Vaccine.

Salmonella Biologics

Newport Laboratories is utilizing cutting-edge diagnostic technology to create a Salmonella vaccine targeting your specific needs. From the latest in isolate analysis and selection techniques to our proprietary manufacturing and adjuvanting techniques, Newport’s Salmonella bacterins are the epitome of today’s science-based autogenous approach.

Salmonella spp. A Serious Threat to Calves

Salmonella is an important human and animal pathogen worldwide. There are more than 2,300 serotypes of Salmonella that have been identified; however, only ten serotypes are responsible for most disease in cattle. Salmonella serotypes Newport, Typhimurium, Dublin, Anatum, and often times Montevideo, are associated with the majority of infections in cattle. Serotypes Newport and Montevideo tend to become endemic in dairy herds following prolonged herd illness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Newport Laboratories is proud of our dedication to the swine and bovine industries. We are the industry leader in autogenous biologics and offer cutting-edge diagnostic services to suit the industry’s ever-changing needs. Since 1997, Newport Laboratories has assisted veterinarians and livestock producers in their efforts to address animal health problems through diagnostic testing and production of Custom Made Vaccines.

What is a Custom Made Vaccine?
What is the benefit of a Custom Made Vaccine?

In some cases, commercially available “one-size-fits-all” combination vaccines may not contain the desired strain, or may contain others not desired in the individual herd situation. Newport Laboratories’ Custom Made Vaccines offers veterinarians and producers the ability to formulate a combination product customized for the producer that is not available commercially.
How long does it take to produce Custom Made Vaccines?
How long is the isolate "good", and what is the product shelf-life?

According to USDA regulations, each isolate has a finite lifetime, depending on when it was first used to make an autogenous biologic. The isolate will “expire” 15 months from the time it was first used to make a product. A request can be submitted to “extend” the dating of an isolate.

If approved, the isolate extension will provide a total of 5 years (60 months) of use from the date it was first used to make a product. An isolate can be extended only once. Shelf-life of the product is 18 months from date of manufacture.
Can Custom Made Vaccines only be used in the herd in which the original isolates were found?

Typically, a Custom Made Vaccine is produced for, and intended for use in, the herd from which the original isolates were cultured. However, the USDA allows the use of the product in other herds (adjacent or non-adjacent to the herd), upon formal request and approval. Use in other herds requires justification based on the epidemiology of the disease and the risk of disease to the other herd(s).

The request for use in non-adjacent herds requires a list of those specific herds in which the product will be used. The product may not be used in herds for which permission has not been granted. Newport Laboratories will assist veterinarians in requesting approval for adjacent and non-adjacent use of our products.
Do you use ingredients from China?

Custom Made Vaccines are sold exclusively through practicing veterinarians.
