Optimal immunization strategies for Saanen goats against goatpox
This study found that a protocol using two inactivated vaccine doses at one-month intervals, followed by a live attenuated vaccine and annual boosters, effectively immunizes vulnerable breeds against GTPV without causing adverse reactions. This approach prevents complications and supports breeding in GTPV-enzootic regions.
