My reply was really to the poster who didn't think there was any other way. I know farmers (even in the western world where animal care it meant to have higher standards) don't use the vaccine - even though it can offer some protection - because it eats away at their profits. It is easier for them to slaughter whole herds of animals and get compensation than to vaccinate. In the UK (where I am from) they even slaughter the animals which show natural immunity.
