[QUOTE="GTB, post: 2906086, member: 4408"] We have stopped vaccinating for toxo and enzo due to the staggering cost of doing large numbers. But we don't buy any females in. If a pregnant ewe gets toxo she will abort and she will also shed the bug to other ewes but any ewe that gets infected will then be immune for life. Many farmers now try to keep their prospective ewe lambs near to a source of infection, usually cats from the nearest village so that they become infected and therefore immune before getting in lamb. With enzo you do have a get out of jail card in that should your sheep suffer an abortion storm it can be stopped in its tracks by injecting long acting Terramycin to the in lamb ewes every three weeks until they lamb. Unfortunately they never become immune unless vaccinated. I bet [USER=12486]@bovine[/USER] will be around any second to shoot me down. ;) [/QUOTE]
