Coopers, Allflex combine for Beef 2021
This is branded content for Coopers.
BEEF Australia 2021 is set to be a big event for Coopers and Allflex, as it's the first time that Coopers and Allflex will be together as one.
Coopers and Allflex recently combined to form one company to better support the livestock industry and farmers with a broad range of products and services.
Coopers is known for its Bovilis MH+IBR vaccine which is used to help control Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) caused by (MH) Mannheimia Haemolytica and (IBR) Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis Virus.
BRD is a significant disease in feedlot cattle (1) and costs the industry $40 million each year in drug expenses, mortality and loss in average daily weight gain (2).
"Bovilis MH+IBR helps producers prepare young cattle for feedlots and saleyards," a company spokesperson said.
"When young cattle from different farms are mixed together, BRD becomes a serious issue, and that's why many feedlots want cattle pre-vaccinated with Bovilis® MH+IBR - Australia's only dual protection BRD vaccine that protects against both (MH) Mannheimia Haemolytica and (IBR) Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis Virus."
Allflex is known as the cattle NLIS tag of choice (3) for Australian conditions, and it's the official tag sponsor for Beef 21, supplying all name tags and cattle tags.
Allflex tags have an improved design for retention and durability, and they're independently tested and verified.
Another product from Allflex is the Tissue Sampling Unit (TSU), which features an advanced tissue sample collection method that delivers outstanding results with efficiency, sample integrity and reliability.
