Enzo and Toxo vaccinations?

[will6910]

That Enzo seems cheap. We paid almost £3 for 420 doses. Are you sure that’s not per ml?

I could read the sheet wrong, but from what I could make out 40 doses off Enzo vac come to £72 and the toxo vac come to £220 for 40 doses also

A bargain then, why do we have to pay some much here then the barstewards.

I know one man, cleans his lambing pens out and spreads it all on the fields where his replacement gimmers are. Reckons that is his vaccination . He said that a vet told him to do it years ago, and he’s done it ever since .

We dismantle the lambing pens and main pens every year and stick the ewe lambs in for a fortnight with round bales of hay to pick up any disease/infections.

Vets work on different profit margins to us, some more than others?

I believed it when I was told the manufacturers had increased prices for everything from Alamycin to Tuloxin, yet I’ve seen prices from NI vets, who are also making a margin, of a little over a third of what we pay. Same products from same manufacturers.

Our vets, and/or the RCVS, are lifting our legs.

Assuming you’re not lambing the ewe lambs of course, that’s fine for Toxo, but would make any rumbling Enzo many times worse.

Is it just a one off jag for enzo or yearly?

A single jab, although reccs have been changed recently to encourage you to buy more and vaccinate every 4 years iirc. I don’t know of anyone that does though.

Think I’ll do the whole flock this year then

Same as the dog vaccinations... Even our Vet agreed 3 yearly was enough for the general purpose ones.

That likely is due to them only having verified that it works for 4 years, so they can't state it works for longer. Biologically it is impossible that all ewes will lose complete protection at the same age, but risk will increase with time from last dose.
