OJD - the vaccine
Primefact Number: 663 Edition: Second edition Released/reviewed: 01 Dec 2008
Since ovine Johne’s disease (OJD) was found in Australia in 1980, it has proven to be a costly disease.
It spreads slowly, is difficult to detect early on, reduces weight gain and wool production and can kill about 10% of adult sheep each year if left unmanaged.
GudairŪ vaccine can help to break the OJD cycle by preventing or delaying spread.
The use of GudairŪ and good husbandry can help to manage OJD, minimise risk and improve trade.
This Primefact provides further information about GudairŪ and answers questions about vaccination.
