Rejections Of Sheep And Lamb Carcasses Are Costly, R H. Wroth, R. J. Suiter
Rejections Of Sheep And Lamb Carcasses Are Costly, R H. Wroth, R. J. Suiter
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A 1976 survey of more than 48 000 sheep and 25 000 lambs slaughtered at two of Western Australia's export abattoirs has indicated a high rejection rate for W.A. carcasses. Rejections may be for disfiguring, blemishes requiring trimming or for diseases which can lead to condemnation.
Savings that producers can make by simple management changes, could thus save the industry $3.12 million a year. Reduction in other causes of rejection or further reduction in some of those mentioned id feasible but requires more research and may be more difficult to achieve.

Crutching Cradles Can Work Well, N M. Marney, R. A. Mills
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Crutching cradles allow successful do-it-yourself crutching if a continuous flow of sheep can be maintained. This article describes some units available and discusses costs.

G78-417 Leptospirosis Of Domestic Animals, Donald B. Hudson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Leptospirosis of domestic animals is a very complex disease. This NebGuide examines its diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
Introduction
Leptospirosis is an infectious disease of animals and man caused by a spiral-shaped organism (spirochete) of the genus Leptospira. The important serotypes recognized in livestock in the United States include Leptospira pomona, L. canicola, L. icterohaemorrhagiae, L. grippotyphosa and L. hardjo. These organisms have a wide host range, including man. Among domestic animals, swine, cattle, dogs, and horses are most frequently affected. Known wildlife hosts include many of the small rodents, raccoons, foxes, opossums, skunks, deer, and moose.

New Policy Hits Hard At Sheep Lice, F C. Wilkinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In March 1977 the regulation requiring compulsory routine dipping of all sheep within 30 days of shearing changed, and only infested flocks were required to be dipped. This change has allowed concentrated eradication efforts.

Some Basic Facts About Primary Blowflies, N Monzu
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Research has begun on blowfly species attacking sheep in Western Australia. Already this research has indicated the importance of a species in Western Australia which is not a problem in the Eastern States.
Future management of sheep flocks to minimise fly strike may require recognition of the differences between blowfly species. This article gives a description of the primary species - those which can initiate strikes.
