Talk Description
Endemic conditions affect productivity but relatively little information have been published in relation to effects of endemic conditions on-farm and at the abattoir. In order for producers to identify issues in their sheep and make informed decisions on management producers need feedback from abattoirs on what conditions are found in submitted stock and what the effect of the conditions are, both on farm and at abattoir. This study looked at seven conditions that were deemed important by the South Australian sheep industry based on effects seen through the production chain or due to being commonly identified at post mortem inspection at abattoir.
