Wherever possible ‘whole flock’ vaccination programmes should be adopted. By this means disease incidence in the flock will decline and subsequent disease risk from the environment will be greatly reduced.
Prevention Programme:
Commence vaccination with a single dose of vaccine.
Further vaccine doses will be required according to the flock disease status and/or the climatic conditions.
If, after 4 - 6 weeks significant levels of disease remain in the flock or climatic conditions conducive to footrot persist, administer a further dose. Otherwise delay this dose until conditions favour re-emergence of the disease.
Further doses should also be administered according to prevailing conditions. Therefore, with severe and constant disease challenge, revaccination may be necessary at 4 - 5 monthly intervals; conversely under favourable conditions revaccination may be delayed until the incidence of disease challenge increases or climatic conditions worsen.
