Ceva Animal Health has announced that Cevac Chlamydia, its EAE (enzootic abortion of ewes) vaccine, is back in stock.

Following stock challenges earlier in the year, the company is now urging vets to encourage farmers to vaccinate their flocks to prevent abortions during lambing.

• The vaccine can be used no later than four weeks before the rams go in
• Shearlings (one year plus) and older can be vaccinated within four months before tupping
• Ewe lambs can be vaccinated with Cevac Chlamydia from five months of age

Roy Geary, regional director for Northern Europe at Ceva Animal Health, said: “While we realise that the temporary delay of Cevac Chlamydia has been inconvenient to our valued sheep farmers we would like to thank all our customers for their patience and support during this challenging time. 

"The vaccine supply is now available in the UK for the latter end of the season. 

"Farmers tupping later in October should therefore be encouraged to vaccinate their flocks to protect their ewes from this devastating disease.”
