Lambs need to begin their own clostridial vaccination course before the borrowed protection from drinking their mother's colostrum declines.
Docking is a convenient time to start this programme, as it helps the development of the immune system well before the protection provided by its mother's colostrum is no longer sufficient.
If farmers simply need to supplement trace elements, they can use Cobalject 1000 for B12 only. If they require B12 and selenium, they should use Cobalject 1000 with selenium.
Lambs may react to gut worms around 60 days old, leading to scouring and reduced weight gain. Drenching before weaning helps remove roundworms and tapeworms, maintaining growth rates and reducing parasite egg passage.
It is important to use effective combination drenches to slow the development of drench resistance.

The key to maintaining optimal animal health lies in consistently implementing year round practices like proper nutrition, vaccination, and parasite control.
During lambing season, your ewe expends significant energy giving birth, producing milk, and tending to the newborn lambs. It’s important to have metabolic treatments like glucophos bags on hand in case your ewe shows signs of needing a boost.

Combine vaccination with a targeted drenching plan for your complete animal health package
Pre-Lamb vaccination with 5-in-1 vaccines not only protect the ewe from clostridial disease, but more importantly enrich colostrum with higher antibodies to passively protect the new born lambs when they suckle.
Consideration of vitamin B12 or selenium 5-in-1 options in some parts of the country are available.
Late pregnancy ewes with Body Condition Score below 3 and grazing to low residuals, and especially those carrying multiple foetuses in the last month of pregnancy, are at risk of poor immune response to worm challenges.
Consider the targeted use of drench options.
