Active Ingredients: Goat Pox Virus
Goat Pox Vaccine is a live viral vaccine used to provide immunization against infection due to Capripoxvirus in ruminants, including goats and sheep. Active vaccination can prevent the disease or help reduce the severity of symptoms. It is typically administered by injection or scarification.
Goat Pox is most commonly found in regions like Africa, Asia, and Europe. It is a highly contagious disease and spreads quickly among herds through direct contact or contaminated feed, water, or equipment. Without immunization, the infection may lead to secondary infections, reduced milk production, weight loss or death. Vaccination remains the best control and prevention against this virus.
The virus which causes Goat Pox belongs to the Capripoxvirus genus of the Poxviridae family of viruses.
