We do NOT use mRNA vaccines at all, as outlined in this article:
Furthermore, we have no plans to adopt mRNA vaccines and intend to continue this policy both on our Indiana farm and at our trusted partner farms.
Otherwise, like organic standards, we do allow for traditional vaccine administration where there is a risk of life-threatening viral or bacterial infections. Some of the most widely known examples include Tetanus for large livestock and Avian Bird Flu for poultry.
We always ensure that any vaccine is out of the animal’s system for a set amount of time (varies per animal species) before harvesting.
At Seven Sons, we have found that reliance on vaccines can be reduced and, in some cases, eliminated by building resilience in the health of our livestock. We’ve always been judicious when deciding if and when vaccines should be used and always pursue preventive and holistic alternatives to conventional vaccine use and practices where possible..
