Sheep Diseases Could Be Controlled With Proper Preventive Measures
United States Department of Agriculture and Idaho veterinarians identify four related forms of necrobacillosis causing losses in western flocks. Foot rot, leg ulceration, a venereal form, and lamb liver infection kill lambs and impair flock productivity. Control relies on removing infected stock, disinfection, and preventing introduction of infection with gravel beds in lambing sheds replacing dirt floors. With cooperation from flock owners and buyers, losses can be reduced through early culling, sanitation, and better housing practices.
