Breeding season for January lambs is fast approaching. For those who have had issues with Campylobacter and other bacterial abortion issues, right now is the time to vaccinatebefore breeding season begins.
Questions on vaccination protocol for abortion?
Consult G.F. Kennedy's (DVM, Pipestone Veterinary Service) article Abortion in Sheep.
For induction of estrus in prepuberal gilts and weaned sows experiencing delayed return to estrus. 5 doses with diluent. 25 ml.
Use in combination with the Eazi-Breed CIDR. For best results, pull the CIDR after 10-13 days and give an injection of pg 600®. The ewe should exhibit heat 1-3 days following CIDR removal.
For induction of estrus in ewes (sheep) during seasonal anestrus. Seasonal anestrus is when ewes do not have regular estrous cycles outside the natural breeding season.
Using the product will require an applicator and some protective gloves. When inserting the CIDR into the ewe’s vaginal tract, we recommend an obstetrical lubricant with antibacterial activity.
Premier has partnered with Pipestone Veterinary Services to offer advice from our combined group of sheep experts. From fencing, grazing, feeding, lambing, health, genetics or general sheep care, we are here to help.
Intended for use in sheep to help prevent losses associated with late-term abortion caused by: Campylobacter fetus or C. jejuni. 50 and 125 dose bottles available.
Make sure to read the label and follow directions on when to vaccinate. Ewe lambs need two shots for best efficacy of all vaccines.
