I have 4 goats - 3 are 1 year old and 1 is 8 months old - all are not vaccinated - what vaccines should I give them and it's dose and frequency
For your goats, start with PPR first, then FMD, then Enterotoxaemia, and keep Goat Pox as per vet advice. PPR should be given once every year, and it is mandatory for purchased animals. FMD is also yearly, or as per the state programme. Enterotoxaemia needs a yearly booster. Goat Pox is given when your vet feels it is needed. If your area has CCPP, that vaccine may also be advised. Since all four are unvaccinated, deworm them first or around the same time, because worms weaken vaccine response. Deworming is generally every three to four months. For the exact vaccine dose, brand, and timing for each goat, get the local vet or Pashu Vet to check the animals, because dose can vary by product and age. If any goat has fever, cough, nasal discharge, or weakness before vaccination, do not vaccinate that day. Treating and vaccinating on time protects milk, growth, and future breeding value. Consult a veterinarian before administering any medicine or treatment.
