Cevac Chlamydia vaccine available again after supply issues
It's estimated that enzootic abortions cost the UK sheep industry up to £20 million a year.
Farmers tupping in October encouraged to vaccinate their flocks.
The Cevac Chlamydia vaccine, used to protect sheep from enzootic abortions, is available again, Ceva Animal Health has announced.
There have been issues around the supply of the vaccine in the UK this year, which the company blamed on delays in the manufacturing and distribution process.
Fiona Lovatt, former president of the Sheep Veterinary Society, said: “It has been such a challenge recently to get hold of the vaccines and this has been incredibly frustrating for both sheep farmers and their vets. So, it is really very good news that there is new EAE vaccine stock available and it should be just about in time for those tupping later in October.”
