Hi folks I have an outbreak of orf in lambs at the moment. Any sign of an orf vaccine yet. Scabivax can't be got. Thanks

Ya it's hard got. I found by spraying the area around the mouth with iodine helps with orf. You might have to do it a second time with them. It seemed to have disappeared in a week after

Are the Tubby buckets or even Himalayan rock salt any good at controlling an outbreak?

I find the Tubby buckets brilliant - will get rid of it of you have it already and no orf since I started using them and they don't go through them like an ordinary bucket either.
I buy them from The Dandy's
