Genetic Diseases of Sheep and Goats
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1990Congenital malformations and inherited disorders constitute a substantial proportion of the afflictions seen in sheep and goats. Of these, malformations tend to be similar in both species, whereas the genetic diseases encountered to date, with the exception of a few, are different.

Nairobi sheep disease is probably the most pathogenic virus known for sheep and goats. It is transmitted by an Ixodid tick, both trans-stadially and transovarially and causes an acute gastroenteritis. In totally susceptible populations, mortality rates of over 90% regularly occur. The infection also causes abortion.

Australian Veterinary Journal, 1982
SUMMARY Outbreaks of ovine white liver disease (WLD) on 7 farms in eastern Victoria were investigated. Most occurred in late spring and mainly affected lambs 3 to 6 months old, with a morbidity of 20 to 100% and mortality of 8 to 15%. Clinically affected lambs showed illthrift, emaciation and bilateral, serous, ocular discharge.

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1970SUMMARY Selenium deficiency occurs naturally throughout large land areas of the world, including approximately one-half of the United States. Where feeds contain less than 0.05 p.p.m. selenium, disease occurs in varying degrees, depending on the degree of enhancement or interference from certain other substances in the feed.

Redgut in sheep: A disease with a twist
New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1997Redgut is a condition of sheep characterised by sudden death. Post-mortem findings are reddened small and large intestines, which are usually displaced. Sheep are predisposed to the condition by a combination of circumstances, including a small rumenoreticulum because of the nature of the feed (usually highly digestible forage), and increased large ...
