Accurate estimation of annual mortality rates and the proportion attributable to OJD could provide an insight into the financial significance of this disease. The study quantified OJD mortalities in 12 flocks across fo...

The organism can be isolated from extra-intestinal sites in such cases. There is a smaller body of evidence for this in sheep, b...
