Boehringer Ingelheim Introduces Five New Vetera® Vaccines


Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. (BIVI), announces the introduction of five new  Vetera® vaccines, including Vetera Gold that offers 7-way protection, and Vetera Gold + VEE,  the only equine vaccine with 8-way disease protection  in one convenient vaccine. The addition of the five Vetera vaccines in various combinations allows veterinarians the ability to customize vaccination protocols to meet the unique needs of each horse.
 
Vetera vaccines incorporate the 2005 West Nile virus (WNV) horse isolate that protects against the strain most likely to infect horses today and includes duration of immunity against WNV for at least 12 months in horses as young as four months of age. In addition, the Vetera vaccines include the Ohio/2003, Kentucky/95, and NewMarket/2/93 influenza strains as recommended by the Expert Surveillance Panel on Equine Influenza.
 
The Vetera Gold portfolio of combination vaccines offers up to 8-way disease protection and various other vaccine combinations through the use of Ultrafil™ Purification Technology.
 
“The Ultrafil Purification Technology eliminates most of the extraneous proteins and cellular debris so the immune system of the horse can focus on relevant antigens.  It’s also a key process when combining up to eight antigens in one vaccine that is administered in a 1 mL dose,” says Dr. John Tuttle, BIVI equine technical services veterinarian.
 
Proven using aggressive intrathecal and heterologous challenge studies, Vetera Gold + VEE was demonstrated to be 99 percent reaction-free in a multi-state study comprising 1,760 does.1
 
“While Vetera Gold + VEE offers up to 8-way disease protection with one vaccine,  the needs of each horse are different depending on a risk-based analysis,” says Tuttle “Therefore, several additional  combination vaccines in the Vetera portfolio have been developed to help meet those individual disease protection needs.”
 
 In addition to Vetera Gold and Vetera Gold+VEE, the vaccine portfolio offers maximum protection against EIV, EHV-1, EHV-4, VEE, EEE, WEE, tetanus and WNV in various combinations. The portfolio also includes:
 
Vetera® VEWT+EIV/EHV
Vetera® EWT+EIV/EHV
Vetera® EIV+EWT+WNV
Vetera® VEWT+WNV
Vetera® EWT+WNV
Vetera® WNV

Drone Flight & Baling Success at Last!

After weeks of rain delays and frustration, we finally have a reason to smile — it’s hay time again at Ewetopia Farms! In today’s episode, we head out to the fields where Arnie is baling hay, and I attempt my second drone flight to capture it all from the air. The drone still had some hiccups, but I managed to get some aerial footage of the baling process.

Back at the farm, the work doesn’t stop. Arnie brings the bales home, and the next critical step begins — wrapping and stacking the bales to make haylage. This process is essential for preserving feed for our sheep and ensures they have nutritious forage in the months ahead.

It’s a good day on the farm — the sun is out, the drone is flying (sort of!), and we’re making progress. Join us for a satisfying and productive day that brings a long-awaited sigh of relief to this year’s challenging hay season.
