The question used to b e . . . to vaccinate or not ? Not any more. However, some farmers still say . . . can I take a risk on some diseases and save the cost ?
Why then do these same, farmers have comprehensive insurance fo r their property and cars? Simply because the small cost o f protection is negligible compared w ith the high cost o f possible loss. And it's the same with sheep vaccination.

Make no mistake about it. 'COVEXIN’ saves time, labour, fuss and trouble. ’COVEXIN' provides comprehensive protection that resolves once and fo r all the doubts and alternatives o f other systems.
