Orf Infection

摘要

Orf is a painful skin disease of sheep and goats and is characterised by the development of scabby lesions around the mouth and nostrils of lambs. The infection may also affect other parts, particularly the teats of ewes and lower legs of lambs. Although the disease can strike at any time of the year, infections are most commonly seen in young lambs and their ewes and in older lambs in the late Summer.
