Abstract

<jats:p> Lameness in sheep remains a significant welfare and economic issue for many UK sheep farms. The principle causes of lameness are the infectious foot diseases footrot and contagious ovine digital dermatitis. This article will review the recent research on the microbial aetiology, epidemiology, prevention and treatment of both diseases and the application of this knowledge into farm specific control plans utilising the Five Point Plan framework. </jats:p>
