  "abstract": "<p>The main objective of the study was to produce hyperimmune colostrum of ewes and does by vaccinating them during their pregnancy and to examine the performance of their lambs/ kids receiving the colostrum from the dams. Animals were divided as control (T-1) without vaccination and 3 treatments (vaccinated flocks) (T2-T4). The vaccines used were;&nbsp;<em>Clostridia sp</em>.,&nbsp;<em>Pasteurella sp</em>., and&nbsp;<em>Sheep pox</em>. Study variables were concentration of immunoglobulins (Igs) in both serums&rsquo; of ewes/ does as well as quantifying the Ig classes of colostrum of both species. Results showed that vaccination of pregnant ewes and does were improved by doubling of serum&rsquo; Igs in vaccinated dams compared to the control flock. Likewise, a significant increase of colostrum&rsquo; Igs of ewes and does by 20 and 23%, while serums&rsquo; Igs of the dams increased by 48 % of both species. The studies focused on challenging pregnant dams with individual vaccines of&nbsp;<em>Clostridia sp</em>.,&nbsp;<em>Pasteurella sp.,</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Sheep pox</em>. Morbidity and mortality rates during the early age of offspring were almost none in vaccinated flocks compared to those without vaccination.</p>",
