Warning : Footrot Threatens South-West Sheep Industry, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DURING the past few months footrot has appeared in sheep in the South-West in an area extending from Busselton southwards to Kudardup.
This area has only recently been stocked with sheep which have been purchased from many sources.
It is probable that there were a few "carriers" amongst these introduced sheep, and that under the favourable conditions of the South-West the infection was able to develop and spread and then to declare itself in clinical form.
