Ovilis Campyvax®
GETTING MORE LAMBS ON THE GROUND WITH CAMPYVAX
Ovilis Campyvax is endemic to all sheep producing areas of Australia and is known to cause abortion in sheep leading to reduced lamb marking performance1,2,3.
Across all sheep operations there are many risk factors that increase the exposure and outbreak of Campylobacter abortions on your property.
| Known Risk Factors | Signs Of Disease |
|---|---|
| Joining maiden or ewe lambs | Abortions and stillborn lambs |
| Trail feeding pregnant ewes | Weak or unviable lambs |
| Cell grazing pregnant ewes | Blood stained breeches |
| Containment feeding pregnant ewes | Reabsorbed foetus identified at scanning |
| Buying / transporting new ewes onto the farm | Poor scanning to marking percentage |
| Large gap between maidens and the main flock |
If you have identified any of these risks on your farm you may benefit from vaccinating with CAMPYVAX prior to joining. CAMPYVAX offers producers an average return of 9% more lambs on the ground in maiden ewes4.
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE
Flexible vaccination program allows for easy integration into many joining programs across a range of sheep enterprises.
1st dose: Up to 8 weeks prior to joining; 2nd dose: 3 – 8 weeks after first dose. Annual booster before joining for previously vaccinated ewes.
RISK MANAGEMENT
When used over successive seasons on maiden ewes you can be confident that incremental lamb losses and cyclical abortion outbreaks can be minimised through vaccination.
STRONG ECONOMIC RETURN
- High return rate of 9% more lambs on average in maiden ewes3.
- Low cost investment to protect lambing performance.
- Avoiding cyclical abortion storms can save up to 50% losses in that year5.
