🔴 IS "SORE MOUTH" RUINING YOUR FLOCK'S HEALTH AND PROFITS?
🐑🐐Farmers, keep a close eye on your sheep and goats! ORF disease—also known as Contagious Ecthyma, Contagious Pustular Dermatitis, or Sore Mouth—is a highly contagious viral infection that can sweep through your herd rapidly if left unchecked.

Symptoms to Watch For:
Thick, crusty, painful scabs around the lips, muzzle, and nostrils. Lesions on the udders and teats of nursing mothers.
Lambs and kids refusing to suckle or eat due to severe pain, leading to rapid weight loss and even death.

⚠️ Important Zoonotic Warning: ORF is a zoonotic disease, meaning it can easily spread to humans! Always wear protective gloves when handling infected animals, treating wounds, or vaccinating your stock to protect yourself and your family.
