Optimal young stock rearing benefits animal health and welfare therefore contributes to a more sustainable herd. In order be able evaluate the process, producers need insight into their kid results, preferably based on key indicators.

Abstract Pithomycotoxicosis, commonly known as facial eczema, is a hepatogenous photosensitisation in grazing ruminants caused by intake of sporidesmin‐containing spores the saprophytic fungus Pithomyces chartarum . Although this significant sheep disease various countries world, it rarely seen Europe, and has been reported only once Netherlands, but cattle. In October 2019, both lambs flock 50 breeding showed clinical signs photosensitisation, including oedematous swelling, reddening...

Additionally, Royal GD implemented voluntary monitoring 2003 which built on consultancy helpdesk, diagnostic testing including post-mortem examination, veterinary networks, and, since 2006, an annual data analysis, performed by collecting, aggregating analysing routine census from five sources...
