Spring

A Flock Health Workshop
has been, arranged for 'Sheep
Producers. . on Thursday;
April 3rd, 1980, froMs1:30 to
3:30 p.m. in the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food Board
Room, Clinton.
The cost of disease can be
expressed -in terms of death
' losses, production loss of
sick or injured sheep, costs of
drugs, and loss of income
from condemnations.- Since
many farms are affected by
disease in one way or another
at certain times of the year,
the total annual cost of
disease to the sheep industry
is probably quite significant.
Disease may be due to
infectious organisms, para-
sites, stress conditions, poor
nutrition and general
management shortcomings.
It may be shown as • death
losses, feverish illness,' slow
ly developing deterioration of
body condition, poor repro-
ductive and growth perform-
ance or simply the inability of
the owner to realize a profit
at the end the year; when a'
profit could reasonably have
been expected.
An illness can be treated
as it comes along, or it may
be prevented by various
means. Treatment of disease
is sometimes essential and
quite rewarding. However,
most, sheep ailMents are
difficult, if not impossible, to
treat successfully. Treating
disease is time consuming,
costly and often frustrating.
Prevention is the key to
success as far as disease
management is concerned. A
normally functioning healthy
sheep can usually be kept
healthy and productive with
well 'balanced rations in a
comfortable stressfree envi-
ronment by a knowledgeable
conscientious sheep man,
thoroughly familiar with the
principles of disease prevent-
ion.
However, no one and noth-
ing is perfect and there are
many' unexpected events that
can throiir even the best
managed operation into a
state of calamity. There can
be sudden changes in temp-
eratureg, weather or simply
managerial accidents. Such
factors can cause stress.
Severely stressed sheep may
becorrie susceptible to illness
by virtue of the fact their
resistance decreases. Their
defence mechanism breaks
down, causing a myriad of
disease - causing agents to
successfully invade the , body.
Close attention to the details
of 'sheep management will
enable one to deal decisively
with disease just as soon as it
is detected. An accurate
diagnosis is essential• for
proper treatment, and should
be obtained as quickly as
possible after a problem is
discovered
Veterinarians in 'Huron
County are uniquely quali-
fied in helping sheep pro=
. ducers with their sheep dis-
ease management problems.
They have sound knowledge
of the .principles of disease,
\ their treatments and pre-
vention.
Dr. John Martin, D.V.M.,
Veterinary Services . Branch,
Ontario Ministry of 'Agri-
culture and Food, Guelph,
will be the workshop discus-
sion leader.
Anyone with an interest in
the improvement and main-
tenance of Flock 'Health is
invited to"partiCipate.
