- Vaccinated goats showed 97% neutralizing IgG antibodies, while 84% of vaccinated sheep also responded positively; however, cattle displayed moderate effectiveness with only 67% developing IgG antibodies.
- Overall, the RVF Clone 13 vaccine was found to be safe and highly immunogenic in sheep and goats, while moderately effective in cattle, with no significant adverse effects noted.
