BlueTongue Update (Sheep)

[Broomcroft]

Just heard this from the NSA...

"Trials show good bluetongue vaccine carryover into lambs: Lambs born to ewes that had received a booster shot of inactivated bluetongue virus type 8 vaccine in the second year of a vaccination programme were protected against the disease for at least 14 weeks. This excellent news that has emerged from trial work means that breeding sheep that are in a bluetongue vaccination programme will be passing a level of immunity over that in some cases will see the lamb through until slaughter."

I know it's sheep, but a lot of dexter keepers keep sheep and maybe it's true of cattle as well?
