Vaccinations: A consistent vaccination program can keep severe illness at bay. Depending on the age and type of animals in a producer’s operation, annual vaccinations may be necessary. In addition, during particular production stages, animals may require additional vaccines. For example, Kutz recommends producers should make sure pregnant ewes receive vaccination for clostridium perfringens types C, D and tetanus, two to four weeks prior to lambing. “It is basically an overeating disease, but it is a passive immunity that they get and pass on to their babies through that first 24 hours of colostrum,” Kutz said. “It is extremely important that pregnant ewes get vaccinated two to four weeks prior to lambing, so they can pass that immunity on to their babies.”

Basic Animal Husbandry:
Though many producers may think there is a secret to herd health success, livestock experts state sticking to the basics goes a long way in maintaining a thriving herd. “Many animal owners want a magic medication to fix disease when the basics of animal husbandry: clean water, adequate nutrition, biosecurity, shelter, and choosing genetics suitable to your operation environment make a tremendous impact,” Biggs explained. The emphasis on proper nutrition is of utmost importance this time of year. “In cold weather, animals are expending a lot more energy to keep warm,” Bryan Kutz, Ph.D., professor in the Animal Science Department at the University of Arkansas, explained. Though producers may not forget about proper nutrition, at times they may underestimate how important it is to optimal animal health.

Practicing Good Biosecurity:
Biosecurity basics make up another building block for healthy animals. One biosecurity measure includes testing animals for diseases of concern prior to purchasing them. Additionally, isolating animals when they arrive at the farm or ranch. Recently, Beef Quality Assurance added to its website fillable templates that help producers develop plans.
