Does anyone know what is causing the supply issue with Heptavac and when it is likely to reappear on the market.
Yup, absolutely. Some competition would help enormouslyIt's a bu66er, but they can do as they like (and charge what they like) as they're the only manufacturer that does a vaccine that covers (some strains of) pasturella.
We need somebody else to start making something to compete with them.
Probably as much chance of that as using unicorn tears to do the same job
Had a chat with the guys from MSD at Scotsheep today. I wouldn’t be relying on June at all.Thanks for the replies, looks like it'll be late June before supplies are available, seems Noromectin is also hard to come by, not sure what's going on.
They'd have been getting it in the neck I guess!!Had a chat with the guys from MSD at Scotsheep today. I wouldn’t be relying on June at all.
But do we go for Covexin or Bravoxin or just go the whole hogg and stop completely?Talking to my boss today, we're very tempted to stop vaccinating and see what happens. Been tempted to risk it for a while but price and availability really forcing the issue.

I've been told mid-June by one merchant and Mid-July by another. Good stock of Ovivac at one place, three small bottles left at my usual stockist.Had a chat with the guys from MSD at Scotsheep today. I wouldn’t be relying on June at all.
