Abstract
Improving the immunity of the dam is critical to optimizing the health of the gestating cow and fetus as well as the perinatal calf. Vaccine use alone is inadequate. This article reviews the immune system of th e cow and fetus during gestation and explores the use of active immuni zation of the dam as a management tool in the control of certain repro ductive diseases in the beef herd.
