Sheep scab
Sheep scab is a major source of economic loss and a serious threat to sheep welfare. Prompt treatment is essential, but as irritation/pruritus is the main clinical sign in early cases of both louse and mite infestations, it is critical to get an accurate diagnosis early, to know which targeted, effective treatment plan to implement.
