What does enzootic abortion (EAE) in ewes look like?

Abortion storms – sudden and high numbers of up to 30%.

Following an outbreak the previous year – latent infections then affect ewes in the next lambing.

Bought in animals aborting – these animals may have been latently infected pre purchase and therefore abort on your farm exposing your ewes to infection.

Moderate levels of abortion (above 2%) year on year – naïve animals introduced to the flock, or a few latently infected animals.

Bought in vaccinated ewes may have been latently affected pre vaccination and will still abort despite vaccination.

Vaccine is available now. For information on EAE vaccination contact your vet or visit https://ruminants.ceva.co.uk/enzootic-abortion/
