Individually affected animals may be treated with tetracyclines parenterally. These animals must be isolated. In affected groups the same treatment can be given via the drinking water.<br>Any new genetic material into the herd should be by A.I. or embryo transfer only so as to reduce risk of introduction of the disease into the herd.

Vaccination as a control measure is now readily avaliable and will reduce clinical signs of the disease and imporove performance. Vaccine is given orally from 3 weeks of age and provides protection for up to 17 weeks. This is excellent for finishing stock, but boosters will need to be given for stock kept on as breeding herd if this is farm protocol.
