The antibodies produced circulate in the sheep’s blood, so that the parasites ingest them with their blood meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-29\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eThese antibodies then attach to the lining of the Barber’s Pole intestine, blocking digestion and starving the worm so that it produces far fewer eggs and dies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-30\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eBenefit:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-31\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eThis vaccine provides a major alternative to drench-based control and will help manage worms in the face of drench resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-32\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eBarbervax will be of particular benefit in barber’s pole-endemic regions where frequent drenching may be necessary to prevent sheep deaths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-33\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eThe vaccine is given to sheep and lambs as a series of subcutaneous injections of 1 ml, at no more than 6-week intervals to cover the barber’s pole worm-risk season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-40\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eIt is important to understand that the first two vaccinations are not able to provide protection, but they prime the lamb’s immune system so that protection occurs following the third vaccination, and lasts for up to 6 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-35\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eFurther vaccinations need to be given each 6 weeks while there is a barber’s pole worm risk or more frequently in those years and situations where animals are exposed to very heavy challenge from barber’s pole worm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-36\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eOnce sheep have received a course of vaccine as lambs, a single booster injection in a subsequent season will typically provide 6 weeks protection without the need for a second priming dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-37\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eImmunity to barber’s pole worm is not sustained, whether it is acquired by exposure to natural worm infections or from the Barbervax vaccine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-38\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eBarbervax immunity works in a different way from naturally acquired immunity and because it is not boosted by natural exposure, lasts for only 6 weeks after the sheep has been primed by a series of 3 vaccinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-39\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eOther vaccines given to sheep also vary in their lengths of protection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TGRM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47844518985970,"sku":"100766822","price":147.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/0528\/5106\/files\/100766822.jpg?v=1765868402","url":"https:\/\/tgrm.com.au\/products\/vaccine-barbervax-barbers-pole-vaccine","provider":"Tom Grady Rural Merchandise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
