Description

Dr Fiona McAuliffe from the SRUC joins us on this OviCast episode as we discuss the challenge of blackloss and photosensitisation in Scottish hill flocks. 

 

We discuss the extent of blackloss or the unexplained loss of lambs on extensive hill grazings.

 

Fiona describes the various causes and some of the follow up work where she examined the underlying factors responsible for lamb losses. 

 

We move on to discuss photosensitisation in more detail, its causes, predisposing factors and management options.
