Vaccination aims to leave cattle pink eye in the dust
Treating pink eye in cattle on pasture can be frustrating, time consuming and only minimally effective.
That’s why researchers with the University of Saskatchewan have completed a trial project that may set the stage for more effective treatment.
Results from the recent study, started by now-retired researcher Philip Griebel, suggest that dropping an experimental vaccine vector right into the eyes of two-month-old calves can be safe, effective and create an immune response.
