Hi Guys,

Lets say I have a sheep that is currently covered for clostridal diseases with covexin 8.
And now i want to upgrade this clostridal cover to include cover for pasteurella.

So I could give the sheep an initial and secondary shot of Hep P.

But instead could I just just give the same sheep an initial shot of Ovipast p (which is for pasturella)
And then just follow up with a secondary (booster) shot of Hep P 6 weeks later.

so in my theory all the required immune responces are being triggered but at a lower cost.

P.S have just recenly returned to sheep farming after a number of years away and have found this forum an excellent source of helpful information, so a big thanks to all the regular contributors
