Farm Gate: Sheep lameness and the 5-point plan

Sheep lameness is a painful symptom that severely reduces mobility.
It’s regarded by many as endemic – ever present, regardless of the efforts made to curb new infections.
But is lameness endemic?
Can better monitoring and treatment effectively eradicate it from flocks? In this episode we discuss how to implement the nationally-adopted FAI Five Point Plan – with Ruth Clements, head of veterinary programmes from Benchmark Animal Health, and by Clare Hill, the farm manager at FAI Farms.
