GlanEry® 7in1 B12 protects from ERYSIPELAS ARTHRITIS
Stop Lame Lambs from crippling Erysipelas arthritis
Ensure your lambs are ‘Fit to Load’
The infection rate may be as high as 50% leaving unsaleable lambs9
Protect your meat quality and reduce the tail of the mob
Have more lambs to sell
Affects most sheep flocks in Australia
ADDING ERYSIPELAS ARTHRITIS PROTECTION TO YOUR PROGRAM MAKES SENSE
STOP LAME LAMBS
Erysipelas arthritis, is the most common cause of lame lambs on farm and results in significant losses both on farm and at the abattoir.
Losses on farm are due to:
Culling and early death
Poor growth rates & later turn off
Animals that are ‘unfit to load’
Reduced trading options
Saleyard discounting
Losses at the abattoir are due to:
Trim of each affected leg
Reduced HSCW (lighter carcases due to poor growth rates)
Full carcase condemnations
What causes ERYSIPELAS ARTHRITIS?
Erysipelas arthritis is caused by the bacterium Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae.
The bacteria enters the animal via open wounds.
Specific risk times include,
ERYSIPELAS ARTHRITIS is Widespread
The National Sheep Health Monitoring Project graph clearly shows that the incidence of sheep arthritis at abattoirs is high. Especially considering that lame sheep are not transported and are culled on farm.
90% of Australia sheep are in NSW, Vic, SA and WA5. In these states nearly half of all sheep lines experienced arthritis-. For lambs it is over 20% of all lines10.
Your Farm is at Risk
Erysipelas bacteria are spread by sheep, pigs, kangaroos, wallabies, mice, and other mammals, as well as 30 species of birds and some insects. Given it is carried by so many animal species every farm is at risk12. Erysipelas can also infect humans.
Every farm is at risk and needs to be vaccinating with GlanEry 7in1 B12
GlanEry® 7in1 B12 protects from CHEESY GLAND (CLA)
Transmission of the disease occurs primarily during husbandry practices such as shearing, crutching and dipping.
Infective material comes from ruptured superficial abscesses and from pus coughed up from open lung lesions.
Direct contamination of other sheep may occur as they are crowded together or they may be indirectly infected by contact with contaminated dipping fluid or instruments.
In a moist environment, the bacteria can survive for many weeks.
CLA is a hidden disease that is hard to eliminate.
Affects most sheep flocks in Australia.
GlanEry® 7in1 B12 protects from the 5 MAIN CLOSTRIDIAL DISEASES
Tetanus + Pulpy Kidney + Black Disease + Blackleg + Malignant Oedema
Loss of isolated and multiple sheep and lambs
Naturally found in the environment throughout Australia
Causes sudden death
Affects most sheep flocks in Australia
GlanEry® 7in1 B12 is boosted with Vitamin B12
Clinical signs of Vitamin B12 deficiency in sheep include: decreased appetite, loss of bodyweight, retarded growth, reduced lactation, retarded wool production and anaemia.
In the later stages, emaciation, weakness and increased lacrimation may be observed.
Where the diet is only marginally deficient in cobalt, retarded growth and reduced wool production may be the only signs observed.
Protect your productivity and enhance growth rates for lambs and ewes through boosting with Vitamin B12.
Most sheep producing areas are susceptible to cobalt deficiency and will respond to supplementation.
Injectable Vitamin B12 is the most efficient and effective mode of supplementing lambs.
