This paper highlights the importance of sheep lameness in both welfare and economic terms. The importance of correct diagnosis when dealing with a lameness problem is emphasised. The diseases causing lameness on a whole-flock basis (interdigital dermatitis, footrot and contagious ovine digital dermatitis) are discussed, particularly the diagnostic features, the treatment and the appropriate control measures. Attention is drawn to other causes of lameness, which may be confused with these important causes of lameness. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
