Evidence-based approach to investigating poor reproductive performance in maiden ewes
2022 Sheep, Camelid and Goat Veterinarians Conference (Stamford Grand Adelaide, Glenelg, 22/06/2022–24/06/2022)

Abstract
Improving ewe reproductive performance remains a priority for the Australian sheep industry. Here we present a protocol for veterinary practitioners to investigate cases of poor reproductive performance. The proposed methodology can be readily adapted to account for resources available and risk factors specific to the farm in question. This protocol will allow practitioners to determine the (a) timing and (b) likely causes of foetal/lamb loss to inform strategies targeted at improving reproductive performance.
