When you choose the Express® FP vaccine family1 for your herd, you can rest assured knowing your calves are guaranteed not to be persistently infected with BVD2, or Boehringer Ingelheim will pay fair market value, plus the cost of testing.

The Express Verified® Program

The Express Verified® program allows cow-calf farmers and ranchers to differentiate their calves and can help feedlots reduce disease risk when buying Express Verified® calves. Calves from Express® FP vaccinated cows offer proven performance in the feedlot3.

 

Benefits for cow-calf producers:

  • Prevent the risk of a BVD PI calf in your own herd.
  • Sell calves with PROVEN health benefits.
  • Differentiate your calves at sale time.

 

Benefits for feedlots: 

  • Fewer first pulls and reduced overall BRD death loss3 means fewer deaths, less antibiotic use and overall healthier calves.
  • Same risk of BRD mortality regardless if you’re buying high or low-risk calves.
  • Fair market compensation for any Express Verified calves found to be BVD PI.

 

Express® FP vaccines’ proven results include:

  • 35% lower first pull rates3
  • 32% reduction in overall death loss3
