Why should I expect an autogenous bacterin to be more effective at preventing or controlling mastitis than a commercial bacterin?
Autogenous vaccination programs make all the difference when antigenic drift renders commercial vaccines ineffective. Herd specific organisms translate to herd specific antibodies. There are multiple phage types of the different bacterial organisms that cause bovine mastitis. It is critical that your bacterin provides protection against your specific phage type. Some commercial vaccine isolates were derived many years ago.
