Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In sheep, diseases and health problems contribute to reduced production, meat, milk and wool, thus entailing various adverse financial impacts. Further, they also adversely affect animal welfare and have the potential to raise significant public health issues.
Sheep health management is a recognised veterinary speciality, which includes husbandry, internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and reproductive management, as they relate to the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy, prevention and control of diseases, directly or indirectly affecting sheep.
Research and clinical work in the field of sheep health management and diseases contribute to scientific progress and innovation, aiming to minimize risks and losses, optimize production and improve sheep welfare.
This Special Issue will cover all aspects of sheep diseases and health management, including but not limited to welfare, husbandry, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and control aspects. The collection will include systematic and opinionated reviews, as well as original manuscripts describing field, laboratory or animal experimental work.
