RamQuip: Sheep & Goat Production Podcast

Episode 70 - CL in Sheep & Goats with Dr. Rosie Busch

Join Leon Gehman from LC Ranch and Matt Nolt from Glenbrook Farm as they welcome Dr. Rosie Busch, UC Davis sheep and goat extension veterinarian, back to the RamQuip Sheep & Goat Production Podcast for a discussion of CL (caseous lymphadenitis).

They work through listener questions about recognizing the disease, diagnosing suspicious abscesses, vaccination, and practical ways to reduce its spread. The conversation covers external and internal abscesses, the limitations of blood testing, and the decisions producers face when managing CL in a flock or herd.

• What CL is and how it spreads
• External and internal abscesses and their effect on production
• Culture, blood testing, and interpreting results
• Managing affected animals and reducing environmental contamination
• Vaccination questions and long-term flock and herd management
