Vaccination programmes in buffaloes :
  • There are a number of vaccines available for common diseases. Most vaccination programmes are more efficient if applied to young calves, with boosters given at regular intervals. This is further evidence of the advantage of recruiting calves at the farm.
  • Buffalo are sensitive to the same diseases as cattle. Diseases strike harder on animals in poor condition.
  • In order to protect the animals, they should be properly vaccinated and de-wormed at regular intervals.
  • It is important to include all animals at the farm in a veterinary control programme in order to minimize risks of disease outbreaks.
