This
website has been established to provide information and techniques
to clients which will enable them to make effective decisions
about sheep health. We expect this to result in a high standard
of animal care and welfare for their livestock with the majority
of disease problems prevented or eliminated.
The site
is managed by experienced veterinarians who are regularly examining
and treating individual sheep and flocks.
If you
are a sheep farmer (herder, rancher, producer or shepherd- depending
where you are in the world) visiting this site, you are welcome
to use the resources. We would also
be delighted to hear from you with a question or suggestion
about the website. This will also enable you to receive our occasional
email newsletter.
For substantial professional advice including
on diagnosis and treatment, we recommend you consult with a veterinarian.
Is
disease or lack of productivity an issue in your flock? Is your
management or control of sheep health problems EFFECTIVE?
Our
staff can provide expert veterinary professional advice: via e-mail,
fax, telephone or letter- on a fee-for-service basis.
Please
be aware that we are only able to prescribe or supply restricted
medicines for animals in accordance with Australian or local laws-
which may require us to work in conjunction with your local veterinarian(s).
For new
clients, we offer an initial free
consultation. We believe this will assist you to plan how
to best utilise our services, and also enables us to determine
how we might be able to serve you as a client.
You might
also like to
check out our library of resources
for information on a range of sheep health issues and techniques.
Veterinarians:
We are
compiling a REGISTER of sheep veterinarians which enables us to
refer enquiries to a local practice or reliable source of information.
If
you are a veterinarian involved in treating sheep
or attending mixed sheep/cattle/goat enterprises PLEASE
CONTACT US and register your details. The information will
be used only to assist with promoting high standard health care
and to enable referrals.
If
you are a veterinarian who does not regularly treat sheep,
we would appreciate your support in suggesting to clients that
they access this site for reliable sheep health information. Alternatively,
PLEASE CONTACT US
for advice which may help a client with a sheep problem.
Website
managers:
We would appreciate links to this site, and will include reciprocal
links to relevant sites (subject to our review and discretion).

or production you would like to share.
