For example, abattoir inspection of adult sheep is an important part of surveillance for ovine Johne’s disease in Australia. Australia’s flock identification system allows rapid tracing of the origin of sheep that are inspected and found to be either positive or negative, so that an inspection history can be built up for each flock and region over time, providing better levels of assurance for low-risk flocks and areas and allowing estimation and monitoring of flock-prevalence on an area basis.
