Ovine Diseases
Ovine diseases refer to health issues that affect sheep, which are commonly raised for their wool, meat, and milk. These diseases can be caused by various factors, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and nutritional deficiencies. Common ovine diseases include foot rot, scrapie, and ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
Prevention and management of ovine diseases often involve proper husbandry practices, vaccination, and regular health check-ups. Farmers should be aware of the signs of illness in their flocks, such as changes in behavior, appetite, or physical condition, to ensure timely treatment and maintain overall flock health.
