Vaccination is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your herd from disease.
Veterinary medicine has shifted from focusing on treatment to focusing on prevention. Vaccination helps prevent animal suffering, loss of production, unnecessary medication use, and supports good food safety practices.
Vaccines work by stimulating an animalās immune system to develop active immunity. This protects the animal and, in many cases, its offspring. A mother passes antibodies to her young through her first milk, called colostrum. When this passive immunity decreases, itās important to vaccinate the offspring so they develop their own active immunity.
The best vaccination schedule for your farm depends on your management system, location, and your herd or flockās health history. Tsolum Mobile Veterinary Health works with you to design a program that fits your animalsā needs and your farmās goals.
