Heat stress as a manageable risk factor to mitigate pneumonia in lambs

Abstract Extract The paper by Goodwin et al (Citation2004) which appeared in the August 2004 issue of the New Zealand Veterinary Journal highlighted the prevalence and costs to the sheep industry of pneumonia in lambs. The costs are considerable, and the article begs the question, “what can sheep farmers do to reduce the effects of pneumonia in lambs?” Notes 1 GB Davis, New Zealand Food Safety Authority, Hastings, New Zealand
