We had a fantastic night yesterday at Scarsdale Farm Vets enjoying a very interesting evening watching Ben Strugnell discuss farm pathology and post mortems.

23/09/2021

On average there are 400,000 infectious sheep abortions a year, with ~50% of these being caused by EAE (Enzootic Abortion of Ewes); abortion storms average 12-15% but can hit as high as 50% of the flock. With so much on the line - can you afford not to vaccinate?

If you're tupping in October or November, call your vets today to sort your abortion vaccines as they must be given 4 or more weeks before tupping!

22/09/2021
