Abstract

The global sheep industry is changing dramatically to serve its diverse customers and in response to liberalised international trade agreements and resculptured (reduced) national subsidies. A drive for efficiency gains together with greater awareness of animal related public health issues means that there is a focus on disease reduction and welfare issues in sheep husbandry. Particular advances have been made in the rational use of anthelmintics, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory analgesics in sheep and veterinarians and drug licensing authorities must utilise these advances to the benefit of the health of the sheep industry.
