I made a mistake with the calibration of my injector and gave my in lamb ewes 1.5ml approximately of Heptavac P instead of the required 2ml.
I can’t really afford another bottle but would I be best advised to do them again?
Hello,
I wanted to ask if anyone has used the hep p plus vaccine after 10 hours if it's kept in the fridge and its made airtight - or do you dispose of remaining doses regardless?
I haven't done it - as I didn't think to ask the question before jabbing the sheep, but had to waste a lot last...
I have never double dosed my sheep with Hep P. I just give them a single dose every year 4-6 weeks before lambing. Is this a total waste of time or does it give them some protection? I've never had a problem health wise so far touch wood !!
Hi,
I used Covexin 8 to vaccinate all my breeding stock, but this is now impossible to come by. Will giving them a booster of Covexin 10 still cover the stock for the original diseases? Lambs have been started on Heptavac instead, but don't want to start a brand new (significantly more...
Thinking of using molasses for sheep during tupping until lambing time.
What is the best type for sheep?
United Molasses seem to be the main place to sell it here.
thanks
We got on early and ordered our clostridial vaccines so we had enough to dose our lambs as usual at the start of may and again at the start of june, although we had to use ovivac P rather than heptavac P. However, we've had so many problems I'm starting to suspect the vaccines haven't worked and...
Morning all, got some lambs to have their first jab of covexin but realised the mothers aren’t covered with anything either st the minute. Wondered if it would do the lambs any harm having their jab and the mothers having their course at the same time?
Morning all,
Could anyone tell me if Ovivac P plus is a good alternative to Heptavac P please?
My lambs are nearly a year old and due the annual jab but I can't get heptavac.
All advice and worldy knowledge appreciated!
Thanks.
If this has been done to death recently admin feel free to remove.
I tried to order H.P+ from my vets and they have none in and no idea when they will. Harbro had 1 25 dose bottle and a single 250 dose. No idea when they will restock. Their last restock was 2x250 dose bottles and 2 x 25 dose...
Clostridial disease management is a common topic in sheep farming with most of the UK’s flock vaccinated before lambing for prevention through passive transfer, but it is not given much thought by calf rearers.
There are multiple clostridial diseases that can affect cattle, however, the most...
This is a thread for those who feel guilty about cluttering up dear old GUTH’s beloved price tracker with the chit chat that stop us all being that miserable our families would throw us all out to sit with the dog in the porch. All are welcome, you can even post prices if you want. The only rule...
Sorry to drag this topic up again, we didn’t jab our ewes last year with the usual heptavac p and in all honesty we lost a few , maybe it was the awful wet pennine winter ?
Who knows,
Anyway I’ve read on here about bravoxin 10 and others but it all seems unavailable!
I’ve 200ml of heptavac p in...
