Development of footrot vaccine best practice

This project, to investigate a new multivalent vaccine formulation, provided valuable insights into best management practice of footrot, helping woolgrowers whose flocks are affected by footrot, prevent productivity and profitability losses, as well as improve animal welfare. Results from this project have been used to update industry communications on best practice footrot management.
