I had a call a couple of weeks ago from vets asking if I wanted to book them . It was around £8 mark which seemed dearer. Will have to look at last years price and try and get them down a bit. Certainly improved things in our flock.

Seems to be some high prices on here.
I collected mine today. £5.35 +v for the two combined

My vets are over £2.50 for Enzo (Ceva) and just under £5 for Toxo (prices as of 4 weeks ago when I got my Ceva)


*Edit - not totally sure if that was inc. or plus vat the girl quoted me on phone. Will check when bill comes in.
Also reminds me I need o sort my ewe lambs out this week and order more Ceva for the ones I'm tupping

If I do whole flock this year with cevax do I just need to do replacements next year?

This is 1st year following some losses that tested positive for Enzo last lambing

Ok, hopefully see a difference next spring. Think it has just been sitting beneath the surface for a few years

We were having huge issues with EAE years ago, to the extent that Coopers were supplying us with double vaccinations of the old Enzootic vaccine as a trial. When Enzovac was first launched it stopped overnight, it’s a highly effective vaccine.👍

If you have sheep that are already infected & incubating from exposure last Spring, some of them will still go on to abort, but otherwise the problem will be sorted.

How did you go about dropping the enzovacc? The way i thought it infected ewes pass it on via the rams so the only way too drop it would be a whole flock cull and restart? Or buy new rams for ewe lambs and keep them separate until the older infected ewes got culled….
The advice from my vet is that it is very unlikely to be spread by rams and that transmission at lambing is the main route - ewes licking other lambs.

You will!

My lambings were ok, but could tell something just wasn't right. No abortion storm, vet called it a grumble. I vaccinated the youngest 2/3 of the flock.

The difference the following lambing was night and day
Did you notice any difference at scanning? We have has a few more empties in recent years and I was thinking it might be connected . . .

We vaccinated the ewes 6 years ago now. Only started scanning in the last 3-4 so can't say for sure at scanning time but there's definitely less ewes empty/dry at the end of lambing.

There's a good chance it's connected

Bought Cevac at £1.60 plus vat 5 months ago .Date fine for this year. Find you have better deals all round if you bulk order in advance. just ordered next 6 months sheep medicines probably 20% cheaper

I just had my vet's bill, which included 100 doses of Cevac, listed as 2020 price.... £250! (plus vat). I'll have the bill for the next 50 doses of Toxo and Cevac next month, then another the month after.
