[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1332764, member: 12607"] Ken, I had a look to see if there was a botulism vaccine/toxoid available here - I'd never seen or considered using it, never knew anyone who had - or had seen enough botulism on a regular basis to recommend it to their clients. I don't find a cattle-approved product... but didn't look extensively. There is a product available in the USA, intended for use in horses... about $10/dose... initial series of 3 doses, with yearly booster. I see cases of equine botulism almost yearly, but (so far) have only seen cases of bovine botulism every 10 years or so... but if the trend is moving toward more baleage production... I'll bet I see it more frequently. As I indicated earlier, every outbreak of botulism I've ever seen in cattle was associated with feeding haylage/baleage. [/QUOTE]
