October 2009 Willow Creek Farms, Tiffin, Ohio

KEY POINTS:

COMPARISON BETWEEN REGULAR (or standard) & SLOW RELEASE LSSF
Enhancing the effectiveness of cell-mediated immunity is a necessary supportive therapy for deep abscessation
320% TO 500% INCREASED VACCINE TITERS

Bovine Immune Modulation to Increase Antibody Titers: Porcine Leptospirosis

Bovine Immune Modulation to Increase Antibody Titers: Porcine Parvo Virus

In October 2009, 45 steers from Zanesville, Ohio, were delivered to Willow Creek Farms in Tiffin, Ohio, owned by Dr. Robert McClung.

The steers were gate-cut into three groups.

Twenty heads were tagged with ODD numbers. They received the Standard Livestock Stress Stable,
Twenty heads were tagged with EVEN numbers. They received the SLOW RELEASE Livestock Stress Stable and
Five tagged controls to receive placebos.

The Standard group received the product on days 1, 2, and 12; the slow-release group received the product on days 1 and 12; and the controls received placebos on days 1, 2, and 12.

On day 1, all cattle received the same worming and vaccine protocols. In addition, all cattle received a porcine, slow-release parvovirus and 5-way leptospirosis vaccine by Solid Tech Bacterin.
All cattle were bled on day 0 for porcine parvovirus and leptospirosis baseline titers.
On day 12, all cattle received standard vaccine boosters, and the study groups received their second dose of RB LSSS.
On days 21 and 42, all cattle were bled and weighed.

Bovine Vaccine Titer Enhancement Observations by Dr. McClung:

By the second day, ALL of the Treated calves had suddenly stopped bawling and were feeding.
On days 3 and 4, all the treated cattle had full bellies and appeared much more active than the controls.
On day 10, some of the groups were visibly depressed and starting to show respiratory signs.
By day 12, 8 of the Standard RB group and 3 of the Slow Release group had respiratory signs.
On day 16, Dr. McClung mass-treated the Standard group with antibiotics and 2 of the Slow Release group.
On day 21, Dr. McClung repeated the RB group's antibiotics and re-bled all cattle in the study.

After suspecting a vaccine failure and consulting with the manufacturer, Dr. McClung sent in titers for IBR PI3 BVD BRSV. The manufacturer also suspected a vaccine failure or virus mutations. This was the first time in 5 years that Dr. McClung had problems with immune supplementation and vaccine response.

On day 42, all cattle were re-bled and weighed.

Bovine Vaccine Titer Enhancement

Summary:

Essentially, all cattle in the study had zero starting titers for the swine vaccines
Both viral and bacterial components of the vaccines responded very strongly to Natural Immune Supplementation, ranging from a 320% to 500% increase in titers
Also discovered was a delayed loss of vaccine immunity or a Prolonged Duration of Immunity.

The steers were gate-cut into three groups.
