[Jacob-list] vaccinations

[Neal Grose]

Shipping fever is a catch all term for a combination of ailments. Animals may have one disease that has little effect on them, but when they come in contact with other animals from other locations, along with the stress of a long truck ride, etc., they may soon wind up with everything everybody else has. That’s when Pastuerella comes along and finishes them off. Even if they survive, the abscesses can cause lifelong problems.  
IBR vaccine gives some cross protection. I don’t know how many vaccines are created for sheep.

Is there an IBR vaccination for sheep? Guess it would be IOR?  Specifics,please.
Are shipping fever and pasteurella the same? I had thought that some cases diagnosed as shipping fever were more than likely pasteurella. Shipping fever seems to be a catch all diagnosis for respiratory problems that show up during shipping or stress.

  I'm 50/50 on vaccinating for pasteurella. It tends to be secondary to IBR and other viral infections.... which I highly recommend vaccinating for if you move sheep or cows. Period. ANY time you commingle livestock. 
  But I remember when "shipping fever" almost took out our herd.

  Does anyone vaccinate for pasteurella when taking sheep to shows or 
  shipping them? I didn't realize there was a vaccine available until 
  today when I was looking for something on Jeffers.
