Salmonella Newport Bacterial Extract (SRP)

Bovine salmonellosis is a devastating infectious disease that affects cattle of all ages and breeds, both beef and dairy. In adult cows, the typical symptoms of Salmonella infection include a high fever with severe diarrhea. Salmonella diarrhea is often bloody and malodorous, sometimes with a yellow substance called fibrin, which is caused by an inflammatory reaction in the gut. In severe cases of salmonellosis, the disease may strike very quickly, leading to a rapid septicemia (blood borne infection) in which the cow dies before symptoms of diarrhea even appear.

While traditional Salmonella vaccines worked on only 1 or 2 serotypes (or in the case of gram negative core antigen bacterins, only on endotoxin), SRP proteins are highly conserved among multiple strains of Salmonella, which enables SRP® technology to offer broad protection against a variety of types of Salmonella. This revolutionary technology has been adopted by many dairies as a successful part of their herd health programs. Some dairy producers have chosen to use it because they have experienced the devastating effects of an outbreak and don’t want it to recur. Other producers who have not had an outbreak, having heard about other producers’ experiences with Salmonellosis, and their subsequent success with vaccination, have elected to use the vaccine to prevent this disease from hitting their herds as well.    As with other management decisions, it is a good idea to discuss with your veterinarian what Salmonella management protocols best fit your dairy.

For use in healthy cattle as an aid in prevention and control of disease and fecal shedding caused by infection with Salmonella Newport.
