(NERC Funded) Background : Footrot is present in over 95% sheep flocks in GB. It causes an inflammation of the epidermis of the interdigital skin that makes sheep lame. Approximately 10% of sheep per flock are lame at any one time, with ~7 million cases of lameness/year in GB alone. Footrot reduces sheep productivity through premature culling of...
