Blowfly strike in sheep: self-help surveillance for shepherds is unsustainable
Flystrike in sheep, mostly caused by Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae), has been consistently identified as one of the most important sheep diseases from both a financial and welfare perspective (Bennett and others 1999, Bennett 2003, Bennett and Ijpelaar 2005, Boyne and others 2006). Infestation levels vary greatly depending on a wide range of factors related to the composition of the parasite fauna, the host, animal husbandry and control practices, climate and geography.
Preliminary survey of lamb losses (black loss) in Highland sheep flocks
THE sustainability of British sheep farming is dependent on the sale of lambs to provide income. The percentage of lambs reared is affected by losses at different stages in the sheep year cycle. Contributory factors for neonatal and perinatal lamb mortality in sheep are well researched (Haughey 1991, Binns and others 2002, Nowak and Poindron 2006, Dwyer and others 2016) and major causes of subsequent postnatal losses in lowland and upland flocks are well known.
