Response of pregnant sheep and goats to a specific vaccine for peste of small ruminants
|
|
| Abstract |
Five susceptible pregnant dams of each of sheep and goats were vaccinated with PPR-attenuated vaccine, 50 to 60 days pre-partum. They, as well as their offsprings remained clinically healthy. Post-partum serum PPR neutralizing antibody titres were generally lower than pre-partum peak titres in all animals. PPR antibody titres in the colostrums of these animals were generally appreciably higher than in their sera , throughout a test period of 48 hours post-partum. Reasonable serum titres of passively acquired PPR antibodies were fairly existing in the offsprings of both sheep and goats. Such antibodies persisted for 3 to 4 months with some individual variations. The majority of the offsprings reverted to seronegativity by the 5th month of age.
