Abstract

Respiratory and gastrointestinal disease are common causes of morbidity and mortality in sheep and goats. They are particu­larly common in animals experiencing transport stress and/ or comingling of animals from multiple sources. This session will focus on a number of viral and bacterial pathogens that are emerging or reemerging as microbes of concern in sheep and goat flocks.
