Summary

Farmed deer face emerging diseases like Johne's disease and tuberculosis, alongside common issues such as parasitism. Effective deer health programs, integrating management and feeding, are crucial for maximizing productivity and welfare.

Background:

Emerging infectious and non-infectious diseases in farmed deer over the past 30 years.
Adaptation of diseases from sheep and cattle (parasitism, trace element deficiencies) to farmed deer.
Susceptibility of farmed deer to severe conditions including tuberculosis, malignant catarrhal fever, and yersiniosis.

Discussion:

Johne's disease as a significant emerging threat to farmed deer health.
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in North American deer populations and its potential spread.
Zoonotic risks associated with diseases affecting farmed deer, alongside welfare considerations.

Key Insights:

Farmed deer are vulnerable to a range of diseases, some shared with livestock and others specific to cervids.
Early detection and control of diseases like Johne's disease and CWD are critical for herd health.
Integrated deer health programs are essential for mitigating disease impact and enhancing productivity.

Outlook:

Advancements in diagnostics and control strategies for farmed deer diseases.
The need for continued surveillance and research into emerging pathogens.
The importance of proactive health management for sustainable deer farming.
