Clostridial dz
There are a number of clostridial diseases including tetanus, and pulpy kidney which can cause sudden death in both calves and lambs. Lambs are at greater risk of tetanus post tail docking or post castration, as well as after shearing if cut or if they have any open wounds. Prevention is the key.

Lambs

Option 1:
– At docking/castration/dehorning – use 2 mls of “Coopers Lamb Vaccination” (immediate tetanus protection)
– 4 weeks later use 1 ml of “Ultravac 5 in 1” vaccine
– 4 weeks after the first 5 in 1 shot give a booster shot of “Ultravac 5 in 1” vaccine

Option 2:
– First shot of “Ultravac 5 in 1” vaccine at 8 weeks of age
– Repeat 4 weeks later

Calves

– First shot of “Ultravac 5 in 1” vaccine at any age. We recommend 4 to 6 weeks old
– Booster shot 4 weeks later
