Heptovac or alternatives
« on: February 13, 2017, 10:49:49 am »
Help! Any advice: I have 5 sheep. Does anyone know of an alternative for Heptovac for small flocks?

Any smallholders in Killin, Callander, Stirling area that want to share a batch?

If these are breeding ewes then no there is no alternative  ... find a neighbour?

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

Ask in your feed merchant if they know anyone with a small holding who might share. Ask at your vet too.

I use bravoxin10 for ewes adult sheep ain't gonna get pasturella & the price is ridiculous. Dose lambs with ovivac P then replacements get put onto bravoxin. So yes there are alternatives. Can also use management to help  (especially lambing on clean previously sheep free land)
