So whats the vaccination timing for these things now.I gave up when they told us to vaccinate every 6wks, money for old rope for the drug companies...are any of them legal for goats anyway?Countrycrap Stores won't sell you anything that isn't liscenced for goats which means zilch choice
I've not heard of any vaccine for goats that you need to give to every 6 weeks
Lambivac is a 6 monthly vaccination and is licensed for goats, but it doesn't cover pasturella, hence you need ovipast as well if you want to protect against pasturella.
HeptavacP is not licensed for goats, but is used by a number of goatkeepers as it cover everything that Lambivac does, and the pasturella bit as well. Booster for it are only yearly.
When you vaccinate for the first time, you need to give another dose after 4-6 weeks, and then move onto standard boosters (yearly or six monthly depending on which one).
One thing I would say, is that having witnessed a goat kid with tetanus, that it is absolutely worth vaccinating even if it is just to protect against this. I would even go so far to as to say I consider it a bit cruel to not give your animals protection against that.
