Vaccination is not enough!
After dairy herd vaccination began in 1979 reported cases of Leptospirosis dropped markedly. However, the infection rate is up again and appears to be rising, with New Zealand once again having one of the highest rates of Leptospirosis in the world.
You, your family, your staff, or else anyone else in contact with cattle could still be at risk.
The Programme
Leptosure® is a national risk management programme developed by the New Zealand Veterinary Association and the Society of Dairy Cattle Veterinarians to reduce the risk of human Leptospirosis infection on New Zealand dairy farms.
By following the Leptosure® risk management programme fully, you can be confident that you have taken all ‘practicable steps’ to prevent Leptospirosis infecting people on your dairy farm.
