Source of information: Ministry fact Sheet, Vet. Associations
Level of solution: Knowledge
Aim: To avoid animals loses due to epidemic illness and infections
Description:
- Treating diseased animal-decision making on isolation or killing by a explanatory poster for the most common diseases seen for the region for a year long
- Necessary vaccination from the local authorities will be introduced with a booklet and brochures for a 1 production year.
- A common vaccination data for general sheep production will be provided as a PDF and the main limitations for vaccination will be underlined for critic periods (gestation, AI etc)
Expected benefits: Increased flock health and less incidence of infectious diseases.
Prerequisites and/or limits:
- Farmers need to use vaccination-understand the importance
- They need to be trained when to make vaccination
- Vaccination has a plan and farmers disregard that
- It needs time to settle the understanding of Vaccination planning and practice
