IBK spreads fast—causing eye pain, weight loss, and even blindness in cattle. But the good news? **It’s preventable!**

✅ Vaccination is your best line of defense, helping to reduce outbreaks before they start.
🔍 Pair it with smart management for even greater protection.
💊 In cases of infection, act fast with targeted treatment and care.

As veterinarians, we have the tools to protect our herds—**let’s lead with prevention and prioritize vaccination!**

At Spain’s leading sheep industry event, HIPRA hosted the technical seminar “Solutions for Chlamydia Control,” focusing on one of the most significant threats in sheep farming: enzootic abortion caused by Chlamydia abortus.
👨‍⚕️ Prof. Jesús Salinas (University of Murcia) highlighted the ongoing impact of chlamydial infections as the primary cause of abortions in Spanish flocks and emphasized three key pillars for control:
🔬 Accurate diagnosis
🧼 Consistent biosecurity
💉 Sustained vaccination
📊 In addition, a HIPRA survey of veterinarians specialized in small ruminants revealed that:
✅ 83% identify C. abortus as the leading abortive agent
⚠️ 78% believe no sheep farm in Spain is free of chlamydia
🔎 Salmonella Abortusovis was cited as the second most common cause (24.2%)
With its continued involvement in this key industry forum, HIPRA reaffirms its commitment to animal health by providing knowledge and effective preventive solutions for one of the sector’s most persistent challenges.

As veterinarians, we're on the front lines of both animal and human health—and ruminants play a critical role in this One Health equation. 🐄🐑🐐Today, on World Zoonosis Day, we recognize the importance of:
✅ Early detection and reporting of zoonotic diseases
✅ Responsible antibiotic use
✅ Strong biosecurity and prevention strategies
✅ Vaccination programs to reduce transmission riskFrom Chlamydiosis to brucellosis, prevention starts on the farm—and with us.Together, we can protect herds, communities, and the future of global health.

Timely and accurate diagnosis is essential to mitigate Leptospirosis effects and prevent outbreaks. While traditional methods like serology and culture remain standard, advancements such as molecular diagnostics are enhancing accuracy and reliability. These tools help detect the bacteria earlier, even in subclinical cases, improving herd management strategies.

By improving diagnostic methods, we’re one step closer to managing bovine leptospirosis effectively and safeguarding herd health.

HIPRA takes a major step in bovine health with the launch of “Primeros Muuuus”, a specialized focus group led by veterinarian Margarita Barreto, from HIPRA Spain’s Southern Ruminant Technical Services team.
This initiative marks a new chapter in the veterinary field, placing neonatology—the care of newborn calves—at the center of innovation.
🧠 The goal? Equip vets with tools not just to treat, but to prevent.
📉 Preventing calf diarrhea and respiratory disease from day one.
💡 Supporting farmers with strategic, early-life decisions that shape lifelong animal health and productivity.
🔍 The project was presented at Campus HIPRA in Aiguaviva, featuring sessions on innovation, diagnostics, and a hands-on training at Finca Mas Bes, led by Prof. Vicente Jimeno of Complutense University of Madrid.
From colostrum quality assessment to optimized weaning strategies, participants gained valuable insights to build stronger, healthier herds from the start.
🤝 “Primeros Muuuus” is more than a project—it’s a community of forward-thinking professionals driving better animal welfare and more efficient, ethical farming.

Today we celebrate the science that’s transforming the future of animal health: biotechnology.
From protecting ewes, goats, and cows 🐑🐐🐄 against main infectious diseases, to improving milk quality, diagnostics, and herd management—biotech is behind the innovations that matter most on the farm.

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, meaning it can spread between animals and humans, making it a significant public health concern—especially in cattle farming. Beyond its impact on human health, this disease affects cattle by reducing reproductive performance, leading to economic losses for farmers and the agricultural industry.
Despite its importance, research on bovine leptospirosis in Europe remains limited, with gaps in diagnostic methods and large-scale studies. To address this, adopting a collaborative One Health approach—uniting human, animal, and environmental health sectors—is crucial for effective prevention and control.
