| Abstract |
The health of an animal can affect the value of its carcase due to trimming and condemnations. 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.
