Small ruminants are particularly vulnerable to disease because of their small size and the fact that they graze close to the ground, where they can come into contact with contaminated soil or water. In addition, small ruminants are often kept in close proximity to other animals, which makes it easy for diseases to spread. To help prevent the spread of disease, Parasite Control, Internal Parasites, and small ruminants need to be vaccinated against common diseases such as rabies and anthrax. They also need to be regularly checked for parasites, and their housing should be kept clean and free of manure. In addition, small ruminants should be given access to fresh water and hay on a daily basis. By meeting these basic needs, small ruminants will be better able to resist disease.
