Vaccinations
Vaccinations are an important part of a flock health management program. They provide inexpensive "insurance" against diseases that can commonly affect sheep and lambs.
On most farms, the only universally-recommended vaccine for sheep and lambs is the CD-T toxoid. The CD-T toxid provides three-way protection against enterotoxemia caused by Clostridium perfringins types C and D and tetanus (lockjaw) caused by Clostridium tetani. There are 7 and 8-way vaccines that provide protection against additional clostridial diseases, such as blackleg and malignant edema.
