Serological Diversity of Dichelobacter nodosus in German Sheep Flocks [PDF]

Animals, 2022
Footrot is one of the major causes of lameness in sheep and leads to decreased animal welfare and high economic losses. The causative agent is the Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium Dichelobacter nodosus. The prevalence of D.

Rapid serogroup classification of the footrot pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus using multiplex qPCR of lesion samples from sheep in the Netherlands [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Dichelobacter nodosus (D. nodosus) is the pathogen responsible for causing footrot in sheep and goats, which poses significant challenges to animal health and welfare. D. nodosus is classified into 10 different serogroups (A–I and M) based on the genetic

Footrot in sheep and goats: a case study. [PDF]

Aust Vet J
This observational study highlights the apparent lower severity of footrot in goats compared with sheep, the risk of false negative results from elastase tests, the need to clean contractors' equipment between properties and indicates the potential use of kidding (or lambing) time and individual mob biosecurity in managing footrot.

Including genotypic information in genetic evaluations increases the accuracy of sheep breeding values. [PDF]

J Anim Breed Genet, 2023
Abstract The impact of inclusion of genome‐wide genotypes into breeding value predictions for UK Texel sheep is addressed in this article. The main aim was to investigate the level of change in the accuracy values for EBVs when information from animal genotypes is incorporated into the genetic evaluations.

Periparturient mortality in merino ewes in Australia: Incidence, impact and the path to mitigation strategies. [PDF]

Aust Vet J
Managing breeding ewe mortality is a priority for the Australian sheep industry. The periparturient period carries the highest risk of mortality, but the incidence and causes in Merino ewes are not well characterised. Here, we outline the reported incidence of annual and periparturient mortality for Australian Merino ewes, causes and risk factors for ...

Shotgun proteomic analysis of plasma from dairy cattle suffering from footrot: characterization of potential disease-associated factors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The plasma proteome of healthy dairy cattle and those with footrot was investigated using a shotgun LC-MS/MS approach. In total, 648 proteins were identified in healthy plasma samples, of which 234 were non-redundant proteins and 123 were high-confidence

Novel inflammatory cell infiltration scoring system to investigate healthy and footrot affected ovine interdigital skin [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Ovine footrot is a degenerative disease of sheep feet leading to the separation of hoof-horn from the underlying skin and lameness. This study quantitatively examined histological features of the ovine interdigital skin as well as their relationship with

Comparison of clinical cure rates from footrot and contagious ovine digital dermatitis using zinc sulphate foot bathing and topical oxytetracycline: A randomised trial

Veterinary Record, Volume 193, Issue 6, 23/30 September 2023., 2023
Abstract Background This study reports the clinical cure rates of topical oxytetracycline and 10% zinc sulphate foot bathing for treatment of interdigital dermatitis (ID), footrot (FR) and contagious ovine digital dermatitis (CODD) in lambs. Methods The study was a randomised controlled trial of 75 lambs.
