Health conditions observed in abattoirs are a valuable source of information about subclinical diseases, which may not be observed in the live animal and should be used to target reduction of specific conditions. While the National Sheep Health Monitoring Program reports on 16 health conditions in sheep, only a subset of carcases are inspected (Animal Health Australia 2017). Therefore, the objective of this study was to use health data routinely recorded in an Australian sheep abattoir to estimate the prevalence of health conditions in lambs. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | Animal Production 2018: 32nd Biennial Conference of the Australian Society of Animal Production, Wagga Wagga, Australia, 2nd - 4th July, 2018 | Source of Publication: | Animal Production Science, 58(8), p. xv-xv | Publisher: | CSIRO Publishing | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1836-5787 1836-0939 |
