'Covexin' protects against lamb dysentery, pulpy kidney disease, struck, braxy, blackleg (including post-partuiient gangrene), black disease and tetanus.


There's no doubt about the success of the first seven-in-one sheep vaccine. Thousands of farmers have proved in two seasons that the 'Covexi n' System fulfils its claims. How simple it is! An injection of owes at six-monthly intervals guards the whole flock against the major soil-borne diseases. Today, vaccination of fat lambs is not nccessary-only those remaining on the farm beyond the period of immunity passed from tire ewe need ad­ ditional protection. Ewes can enter the ■Covexin' System at any time. To establish immunity two doses are required initially—the second dose not
