In Reply to: Anthrax in Livestock no cause for panic - article posted by GoatWorld on October 16, 2001 at 08:07:13:
Gary thank you for the article. I wonder though, is it a good idea to vacinate our goats for Anthrax anyway. Because the articles I have read including this one says
"It can happen anywhere. It's in the soil. If the conditions are right (animals can catch anthrax)"
Each article also seems to contradict itself when they say that it is highly unlikely for a human to contract anthrax from livestock, then of course it goes to say that if you have an infected animal you can catch it from them if you do not take percautions.
I know that it is an unlikely thing, and it really was not something that I thought about, until all of these Anthrax outbreaks you know what I mean?
