Reduced brucellosis vaccine dose eyed for calves rule change
Wisconsin plans a proposed rule to allow a reduced Brucellosis Strain 19 vaccine dose for dairy and beef calves aged 120 to 299 days, aiming to cut vaccine residues. Current rules use full strength for 60 to 179 days in dairy and 60 to 299 in beef. A public hearing in Madison is likely mid April, with passage possible next October due to legislative timing and vaccine supply constraints.
