[QUOTE="Farmer_Joe, post: 4936072, member: 26598"] i followed this thread for last week with interest, just though i would share info ive found on culling the ewes Ive asked 2 local farmers one vaccinates other not, both suffered much higher than normal abortion rates (interesting what ive read its believed birds can spread the infection we have loads of seaguls in this area even though its middle of yorkshire!! its says the importance of clearing aborted lambs and moving aborted the ewes away from flock obviously to reduce spread) (taken from NADIS) I feed deccox blocks mainly for the coccidosis benefit but it also control toxo abortion but not campy or eae/Enzo Ive had a few abort and read quite alot on it recently not mummified corpses (believe this is most likely toxo) but lambs look normal just early and dead dont believe its campy symptoms exactly eae/Enzo . (taken from NADIS) interesting ive found this: "Enzootic abortion (EAE) is caused by the bacteria Chlamydophila abortus and abortion occurs in the last 2-3 weeks of pregnancy, no matter when the ewe was exposed in that period. Once infected, a ewe carries the bug for life and will shed around ovulation, providing a perfect tool to infect a working ram. This then becomes a venereal disease, basically a sheep STD, and will spread to other ewes being served by that ram. Protection prior to service by vaccinating can help prevent spread of the disease and without feeling like a parrot repeating myself, hygiene of aborting animals is of the upmost importance" on this basis i will be culling the ewes which have aborted as this does not sound good to me and will prob begin to vaccinate gimmers i keep/buy in. vet students at another farm have warned us before keeping anything that aborts as their carriers... taken from here [URL]http://www.westpointfarmvets.co.uk/sheep-abortion/[/URL] ive seen people not sure on this info as its not from nadis, but i have to say either way its not encouraging unless someone esle has a different perspective/information on the above comment ?
