Post Discharge Induction Procedures for Sheep in the Middle East

Summary

This review identified a lack of research-based information relating to drinking water temperature and feeding management strategies for intensively housed sheep in hot conditions and therefore further research into these areas, resulting in the development of industry guidelines, is recommended. The primary beneficiaries of this information are feedlot operators and service providers to the live export trade between Australia and the Middle East region. It is likely that the findings presented in this report also have relevance to sheep feedlot operators in Australia, particularly those in locations susceptible to hot climatic conditions.
