OTHER INFORMATION: This product contains thimerosal as a preservative.

The disease is contagious and normally spreads through oral or nasal contact, ingestion, or inhalation of contaminated material. Isolate the aborting ewes and consult with your veterinarian on recommended treatment, proper disposal of aborted fetus/placenta, and disinfection procedures. Surviving ewes may become carriers.

Limit access to aborted materials by wild birds and wild or domestic mammals, which can carry the bacteria to other locations. Provide feed in bunks off the ground to reduce fecal contamination. Assure that the water areas are not contaminated. Workers should use personal protective equipment to help avoid cross contamination.
