Protection of rams against epididymitis by a Brucella ovis-vitamin E adjuvant vaccine.
Rams vaccinated at 7 and 8 months of age with a B. ovis-vitamin E adjuvant vaccine had increased antibody titers compared with Freund's incomplete adjuvant or commercial bacterin vaccinated rams. The percent overall infectivity in an experimental infection of B. ovis-vitamin E adjuvant vaccinated rams was 22% compared to 44% for B. ovis-Freund's incomplete adjuvant or bacterin vaccinated rams and 67% for control.
