๐Ÿ‘ Attention Sheep Farmers! ๐Ÿ‘

We have received important news regarding the upcoming pre-mating season. Unfortunately, there will be no availability of CEVAC (EAE abortion vaccine) for 2024.
We understand the challenges this may pose and encourage you to explore alternative measures to ensure the health and safety of your flocks.

The Sheep Veterinary Society has published advice for
dealing with the absence of this vaccine which includes:

๐Ÿ‘For flocks that have previously regularly vaccinated against EAE, there will this year be a small cohort of unvaccinated replacement ewes but the risk to them is low if the remainder of the flock is protected. They should be marked and vaccinated next year when they are not pregnant.
๐Ÿ‘The Sheep Vet Society also have advice available for flocks that are considered higher risk for EAE, such as those that have experienced a recent EAE outbreak.

The Sheep Veterinary Society has issued guidelines which you can read here; https://buff.ly/3SHBFjM

will be speaking to their routine flocks but if you have any concerns please do not hesitate to get in touch Stay informed and connected with your local vet for more
guidance and support. Lets work together to navigate this season successfully.
