    Reducing high annual sheep losses in the UK requires improved sheep owner-veterinarian relationships. Implementing preventive health programs with regular farm visits and parasite control can significantly decrease sheep mortality.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary medicine
    • Animal husbandry
    • Sheep production

    Background:

    • Annual sheep losses are substantial across all UK rearing systems.
    • Current disease management may be suboptimal, contributing to high mortality rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose strategies for reducing sheep losses in the United Kingdom.
    • To highlight the importance of veterinarian-sheep owner collaboration in disease prevention.

    Main Methods:

    • The study suggests developing simple, preventive disease control programs.
    • Emphasis is placed on regular farm visits and comprehensive parasite management.
    • The need for enhanced veterinarian training in sheep health is identified.

    Main Results:
