The recent ban on the use of Bionic sheep capsules has many farmers asking how to support ewe performance over lambing.
MSD Animal Health has developed the following best practice decision-making guide for vaccinating and drenching this pre-lamb. It helps navigate this complex subject taking into account factors such as drench resistance which is becoming increasingly common throughout New Zealand.
The guide walks you through simple questions to help determine if drenching is required, and if so what drench and pre-lamb clostridial vaccines are likely to best suit your needs.
You are encouraged to use this decision guide in consultation with your animal health advisor.
The tool is hosted on MSD Animal Health’s Sheep Vaccine website www.sheepvax.co.nz/pre-lamb-decision-guide. This was created to help New Zealand farmers maximise productivity and profitability on-farm and is supported by expert advice from our team of veterinarians.
