Control of Paratuberculosis in Small Ruminants

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2011
The clinical presentation of paratuberculosis in small ruminants is unthriftiness (poor body condition); severe diarrhea is not a common clinical sign. In the USA, goats are primarily infected with bovine strains of paratuberculosis and sheep are primarily infected with ovine strains.

Chlamydial Infections in Small Ruminants

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2001
Chlamydophila abortus (formerly Chlamydia psittaci) is one of the most important causes of reproductive failure in sheep and goats, especially in intensively managed flocks. The disease is usually manifested as abortion in the last 2 to 3 weeks of gestation, regardless of when the animal was infected.

Mastitis Therapy in Small Ruminants

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice
Small ruminant dairy production varies significantly from bovine production in physiology, milk composition, production scale, processing of products, and availability of labeled mastitis treatments, all of which may impact therapeutic decision-making. Extra-label drug use considerations, including extended withdrawal interval recommendations, must be ...

Mycoplasma Infections in Small Ruminants

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2001
Mycoplasmas have complex mechanisms of antigenic variation that allow them to evade the immune system. These organisms cause a variety of clinical syndromes that can have a significant economic effect on small ruminant production. The syndromes range from acute septicemia and death to chronic infection resulting in decreased production. Recent research
