摘要
Lame sheep experience pain and should be treated as soon as reasonably practical. Treatment and control should be based on a firm diagnosis, and farmers should be encouraged to seek veterinary attention for animals that do not respond quickly to administered treatment. Overall flock lameness should be minimized through implementing appropriate control measures for the common types of foot lameness caused by infectious agents, including vaccination, antibiotic treatment, footbathing, biosecurity, and culling.
