Protecting Sheep Against Vibriosis
The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association reports that oral inoculation of non pregnant ewes immunizes them against abortion from vibriosis for at least a year. After an abortion, ewes are immune for at least a year, and infection occurs mainly in late pregnancy from contaminated feed or water. Isolate aborting animals and remove contaminated material. In Colorado about 50 000 ewes aborted in one year with about 5 percent mortality.
