SHEEP


Sheep may miscarry or give birth to sick lambs following infection with listeria, chlamydia psittaci or toxoplasma.

These organisms can cause infection in pregnant women and can cause miscarriage or harm to the unborn baby.

Do not assist with lambing, or handle newborn lambs or come into close contact with sheep which have just given birth or miscarried.

It is therefore important to be extra careful when visiting farmyard family parks. Contaminated boots and clothing should not be brought into the house but cleaned by someone else outside the property.
