Do you buy or sell restocker sheep?
Primefact Number: 662 Edition: First edition Released/reviewed: 01 May 2008
OJD often spreads through trade of infected sheep.
If you buy in sheep, don’t buy OJD in with them.
If you do buy it in, you not only infect your own flock, you also put your neighbours and district at risk because the disease can cross fences.
You need a lot more than a casual assurance to protect your flock.
This Primefact answers the following questions:
- How do I provide OJD information about the sheep I’m selling?
- Where do I find a Sheep Health Statement (SHS)?
- What should I, as a buyer, do to protect my flock and my neighbours’ flocks?
- What should buyers look for on the Sheep Health Statement?
- How can the Sheep Health Statement help to protect trade?
- How do I know if there is much disease in my area?
- How important is vaccination with GudairŪ vaccine?
- What is an ‘approved vaccinate’?
- What about testing for OJD?
