绵羊的脚部问题和相关的跛行可能会产生重要的福利和经济后果，对于临床医生和参与绵羊生产的人来说，处理起来都可能是一项挑战。白色线状病变在许多禽群中很常见，有时会导致跛行，经常被误诊，这可能导致使用不适当或无效的治疗方法，产生不必要的成本，并导致客户不满。这种损害可能影响到广泛的年龄段，包括一到两个月大的羔羊、公羊和怀孕和未怀孕的母羊，这表明可能涉及各种易感因素。本文描述并举例说明了绵羊的白线病变，以帮助农民和兽医做出正确的诊断。
FOOT problems and associated lameness in sheep can have important welfare and economic consequences and can be challenging to manage both for clinicians and those involved in sheep production. White line lesions, sometimes causing lameness, are common in many flocks and are often misdiagnosed, which can lead to the administration of inappropriate or ineffective treatments, incur unnecessary costs and result in client dissatisfaction. Such lesions can affect a wide range of age groups, including lambs as young as one to two months of age, rams and pregnant and non-pregnant ewes, indicating that a variety of predisposing factors are likely to be involved. This article describes and illustrates white line lesions in sheep to help farmers and veterinary surgeons make a correct diagnosis.
