Sheep vaccination programs will be discussed during Sept. 18 webinar

The health of your flock is only as good as your vaccination program, which is why such programs will be the topic of conversation at the next webinar presented by the Let’s Grow Program of the American Sheep Industry Association.

The webinar will be led by J. Bret Taylor of the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station in Dubois, Idaho, and hosted by Jay Parsons from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The webinar is set for Sept. 18, beginning at 8 p.m. EST.

Vaccination is the preventative tool to mitigate those pesky to catastrophic disease outbreaks that erode profitability. The appropriate vaccine is only one part of an effective vaccination program. Timing, repetition, devices and labor force are other critical components.

In this webinar, participants will discuss the immune response, vaccine efficacy in neonatal lambs, customizing colostrum antibodies, vaccination schedules and vaccination tools.
