Caseous Lymphadenitis (CL) is a disease caused by the Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis organism. It causes abscessing in lymph nodes, which then rupture and spread the disease in the environment. This is a serious management issue in sheep and goat production, and until now the only vaccine available was licensed for sheep only. Texas Vet Labs has come out with a new vaccine for goats, which is conditionally approved on a state by state basis, and is available in Colorado . This means that now there are options for protecting your animals, especially if you have any that travel to shows, or buy and sell animals and frequently have animals coming and going.
