[QUOTE="GreenerGrass, post: 6568399, member: 3595"] Two years ago we lost a ram and two ewes to Johnes, we now use the Guidair vaccine as per [USER=143227]@Goat lady[/USER] . First year was whole flock and now just ewe lamb replacements. We haven't had any losses since using it. Supposedly in event a sheep is infected prior to vaccination it becomes more resistant and much less likely to develop clinical signs, but also crucially stops or greatly reduces shedding. I think global ovine or someone or similar standing wrote that where flocks are vaccinated you can stomp it out after a number of years vaccination. For what it's worth although the literature says scouring isn't a symptom, we found those three did scour, although this may because of a secondary cause. Our vet says it is likely much more common in sheep flocks, but most shepherds don't test and so don't know their status. [/QUOTE]
