| Popis: | Summary The production of meat from sheep and goats in Australia occurs almost entirely at pasture in zones known as the semi-arid pastoral zone, the wheat-sheep zone (where sheep and crops form an agricultural rotation system) and the high rainfall zone. Each zone has particular factors which affect the human health hazards associated with sheep and goat meat and the opportunities for prevention. The authors provide an overview of small ruminant production in Australia and a synopsis of the diseases encountered, including the factors which influence epidemiology. Animal health arrangements for underwriting food safety at the pre-harvest and post-harvest stages of production in Australia are also outlined. Specific public health hazards related to sheep and goat meat, together with measures for prevention, are considered under the headings of zoonoses, enteropathogens and chemical residues. |
