@@JasonHenderson-w8m hi Jason, there's no 'official' minimum age for using it - in my view, get your two heptavac doses out of the way first, give it a clear 3 weeks after the second dose for the immune response to the heptavac be done and dusted, then use it any time from then onwards. Hope that's helpful!

John, great video, what a resource to have a sheep vet pumping out great content. Thank you! How about a video on alternative vaccination treatments for lambs pre and post lambing. MSD have again Heptovac P issues and an options appraisal would be useful. Maybe also a review of Mastitis options, I hear there may be a vaccination option, not sure how effective it is.

@@erikgrimley5519 hi Eric, you would could all eggs in every square - I'll put a link to a site which explains it very well! In terms of distinguishing eggs, of all of the damaging worms that sheep have it's only nematodirus that you can reliably differentiate under the microscope, the others all look the same. But since those other species are all bad for the lamb, you can count them all together without needing to individually speciate them.
