Clinical Experiences in an Emergency Veterinary Clinic &
Pilot Studies on Dairy Herds Show Promising Results for the Treatment of Scours in Calves and Somatic Cell Counts in Cows using Vital Force Formulas
Dr. Gary Tran of the Animal Emergency Clinic in Lou
isville, Kentucky uses the “professional line” of Vital Force products to great effect in his small animal veterinary practice. These are the same products used extensively by healthcare providers for over 11 years in clinics and practices in North America and Europe. Dr. Tran is one of a number of veterinarians regularly using the products in their practices.
Pilot research conducted on the use of specific Vital Force formulations in a teat dip showed the ability to reduce the somatic cell count in a conventional herd under winter field conditions in Iowa. Additional research to test specific VF formulas for the treatment of scours in calves demonstrated the ability to increase the speed of recovery and showed promise as a potential preventative agent in helping avert the onset of scours in newborn calves.
