9 HorSe vaccines are highjy effective for preventing certain infectious du. Horse vaccines recommended for all horses. Start your vaccine program today! Jeffers Equineoe om Horse vaccines are of the utmost importance for the health of your horse. Not only could it save your horse's life, it can also keep him from suffering unnecessary illnesses. One of the most common failures in a good vaccination program is the failure to keep accurate records. This is something that you do not want to guess at. It is a good idea to keep a journal for each horse. I write down everything. If they are injured, I write when they were injured, where, how and treatment of the injury. I also write down, when they are wormed, when the farrier comes, and anything else I feel is important. Download your free PDF Horse Care Journal and Horse Vacdnation Record. so that you can keep accurate records. Here is a list of the most common horse vaccines.

Horse vaccines are highly effective In preventing certain equine diseases, but failures can occur from improper handling and storage or incorrect administration of the vaccine. The immunity acquired after the primary equine vaccinations will not be maintained Ifthe annual boosters are not given. If a horse who has been exposed to a disease, before vaccinating, giving him the vaccine after exposure will not help him. It is cheaper to vaccinate your horse yourself, rather than have a vet do It. You can buy vaccines online far cheaper than you can get them from the vet. JeffersEauine.com carries a full line of vaccines. Horse diseases can be acquired from many different sources. One of the main sources indude mosauitoes, ticks and bitinq flies. It is very important to keep your horse vacdnes up-to-date, and a good insect control program in place. Young foals are highly susceptible to certain infectious diseases. They should begin their vaccination program as soon as their passive immunity begins to wane, (usually at 2-3 months). Always consult with your veterinary before starting on any horse vacdnes program. He will be able to tell you what diseases are high risk in your area.
