[QUOTE="Jackson4, post: 3033166, member: 1180"] Bloody sheep problems eh(n) I would imagine you could cull for it as some sheep seem to be alot more affected than others but by the time you've culled for CODD, footrot and all the other things you might have no sheep left. I have some good fit sheep with good mouths and udders etc going tomorrow, they were the last few borderline girls with bad scald/footrot which i kept and they have gone down again with CODD (a month after treating for the first time) and the beginings of footrot, which must be in the foot really as they were given a chance before. As for one disease letting another in.. hmm i'd say footrot depends on some sort of help to get in, if you have a scalded foot and there is footrot about then its bound to get in and the level of immunity of the sheep to fight it will say how severe it will be, however i've had hundreds of sheep and lambs with superb feet, in all weather, all year coming down with CODD if they have never been exposed to it. CODD doesnt seem to be as weather/conditions dependent. I use betamox LA and cyclo spray, but if i was to try with these repeat offenders of CODD i think zuprevo is your best bet but at £4 per 45kg its expensive.. 2 shots of betamox 2 days apart may do it. Think about keeping 2 separate groups, one group you could put severely affected ones in, at least it would be easier to catch and treat repeats and give you piece of mind its not spreading. Good luck anyway. PS. Why the hell dont they get on and develop a vaccine! Fricking heck when you luck and see its bloody students and such doing these trials and studying it etc such an awful and debilitating disease which cost the industry big bucks and ab resisitance looming...why arent we putting some of the money made in this industry towards a vaccine?! How difficult can it be all the techniques must be well known.. isolate the 20 trepenomes, kill them or weaken them for a live vaccine then inject them in the sheep(y) Christ you gotta do everything yourself:LOL: [/QUOTE]
