Last Updated: December 23, 2010

View as web page


After receiving the blackleg vaccine, cattle are not to be slaughtered within 21 days. With this in mind, do not even take the animals to slaughter until day 22 after administration of the vaccine. The withdrawal time is published under precautions or directions on the label/package insert of the vaccine.
