WEBINAR: Could Iceberg be hindering your flock performance?

Cost: Free

Iceberg diseases are chronic wasting diseases that can be difficult to detect in sheep because most infected animals show no symptoms. Animals that do show symptoms may have mild symptoms that are difficult to differentiate or appear late in the disease process.

Infectious conditions that are classed as ‘Iceberg diseases’ include Border disease, Caseous Lymphadentis (CLA), Johne’s disease, Maedi Visna (MV) and Ovine Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma (OPA) and despite their increasing significance many sheep farmers remain quite unaware of the real impact they can have on sheep flocks.

Phillipa Page, a vet from FlockHealth Ltd has been working with Farming Connect discussion group members to gather physical performance data and undertake screening for MV, Johne’s, CLA and fluke. Join the webinar to hear from Phillipa Page and participating farmers who will share project findings and their experiences.
