[Preventive animal disease control using vaccines].

Clinically detectable outbreaks of infectious diseases, with detrimental consequences on technical results can be largely prevented by enforcement of good hygienic measures and adequate administration of vaccines. The benefits and disadvantages of various vaccines are discussed. The efficacy of vaccines in practice is determined by many factors, and for this reason it is possible that a good vaccine may not evoke an optimum immune response. Vaccines can be administered in several ways; individual vaccination is of course the most effective, and expensive, method. Because of the increasing risks of (extensive) outbreaks of disease in domestic animals, continual attention must be directed toward the prevention of animal disease through both hygienic measures and vaccination.
