Most of the time, we centre a lamb arthritis program around putting the Eryvac antibodies through the ewes colostrum to protect the lamb for the first 6-8 weeks of life (covering the two major risk periods)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"csBE29F54\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csB2B83AB\"\u003e. Therefore most programs centre on the ewe – 2 doses in the first year to set up the Eryvac, and then an annual booster each year after that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"csBE29F54\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csB2B83AB\"\u003e. Ewes should receive a dose of Eryvac (or can be GlanEry) anytime timed somewhere either at joining or up to 4 weeks prior to the second (pre-lamb) dose, then receive a GlanEry somewhere 4-8 weeks pre-lambing – this gives them their second Eryvac and provides their annual booster for Glanvac. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"csBE29F54\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csB2B83AB\"\u003e.

Lamb can have a dose at lamb marking, but for many producers the ewe dose is enough – this is a plus or minus based on incidence and timing (sometimes given if incidence is high and all the risk is at marking time) – I see the lamb marking dose as a decision with each producer, as it’s not perfect science using just one dose to help protect, however anecdotally it can help to reduce incidence further (assuming discussion warrants it)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zoetis","offers":[{"title":"250 ml","offer_id":48664691245281,"sku":"9347909002522","price":211.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"500 ml","offer_id":48664867766497,"sku":"9347909002539","price":485.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/2671\/9201\/files\/9347909002522_1.jpg?v=1784177793","url":"https:\/\/www.millerag.com.au\/products\/eryvac-zoetis","provider":"Miller Ag Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
