Sheep are domesticated ruminant livestock raised worldwide for wool, meat, and milk. As farmed animals, they are susceptible to a range of health problems, including parasitic infections, infectious diseases, and nutritional and reproductive disorders, all of which affect their welfare and productivity. Veterinary Healthcare for sheep involves prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions, along with herd management practices such as parasite control, breeding management, and monitoring of body condition to maintain healthy flocks. Research published by this journal addresses sheep health and biology directly. Studies report coprological examination of ovine fasciolosis within a community-based sheep breeding program in Ethiopia, the prevalence and distribution of helminth parasites among sheep, and parasitological examination of fecal samples from sheep, goats, and cattle at a slaughterhouse. Other work characterizes xanthine oxidase purified from sheep liver, contributing to understanding of sheep biochemistry. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to sheep, supporting readers seeking primary literature on sheep diseases, parasitology, and the veterinary care and management of these animals.
