2011年，农场动物福利理事会提出，到2021年，羊群中跛行的患病率平均应低于2%。这是通过自2000年以来英国对跛行，特别是蹄病的大量研究而实现的。随着农民采用新的推荐管理措施，跛行的平均患病率已经下降：2004年，跛行的平均患病率为10.2%。到2013年，跛行的平均患病率已下降至3.5%。本文总结了目前推荐的诊断、治疗和控制绵羊蹄病的方法。它强调，常规的脚修剪是一个不必要的和潜在的有害程序，有助于在一些鸡群跛行的患病率。在农民采用推荐的管理技术的地方，跛行的发生率已降至2%。
In 2011, the Farm Animal Welfare Council proposed that by 2021 the prevalence of lameness in a flock of sheep should average less than 2 per cent. This has been made possible using the considerable amount of UK research into lameness, and footrot in particular, that has occurred since 2000. The average prevalence of lameness has already fallen as farmers adopt new recommended management practices: in 2004 the average prevalence of lameness was 10.2 per cent. By 2013 this had fallen to 3.5 per cent. This article summarises the current recommended approaches to diagnosis, treatment and control of footrot in sheep. It highlights that routine foot trimming is an unnecessary and potentially harmful procedure that contributes to the prevalence of lameness in some flocks. Where farmers practise the recommended management techniques the prevalence of lameness has been shown to fall to 2 per cent.
