Vaccinations and Boosters
When vaccines are used correctly, they can dramatically reduce losses and prevent diseases in your animals. The different types of animal vaccines are:
- Live vaccines: Live vaccines give long immunity after a single dose.
- Inactivated Vaccines: Inactive vaccines need booster doses to maintain immunity.
- Anti-toxins: They provide immediate but short-term protection against a disease however are not actually vaccines.
When deciding on a sheep or goat vaccination program, you should:
- Choose the right vaccine for your needs
- Only buy what you need
- Ensure your equipment is sterile and safe
- Read and understand the instructions on how to administer the vaccine
- Use the correct storage and disposal methods which are recommended to keep those around you safe.
