This summer several cases of foot rot was discovered in sheep. The disease can lead to serious limpness and pains for the animals, as well as reduced production and increased cost for farmers.

To achieve the goal of eradicating the disease it is important that all are aware of the symptoms and reports upon suspicion.

The Brochure is a collaboration between the National Veterinary Institute, Animalia, the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science, the Norwegian Food Authority and NSG.
