Claim 3
Dependent Claim
76 words
A method for immunizing a newborn calf against neonatal calf diarrhea caused by a coronavirus-like or reovirus-like calf diarrhea virus comprising parenterally administering at least 1 ml. of the combination vaccine claimed in claim 1 to either an adult pregnant cow 30 to 90 days prior to the birth of said newborn calf and causing the said calf to ingest the colostrum or milk containing protective antibodies or to the said newborn calf soon after birth.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words

A vaccine according to claim 1, in which both viruses have been inactivated with formalin.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
