Sheep play a major role in Australia’s agricultural industry. Australian sheep provide the world with some of the highest quality meats and finest wools.
The sheepmeat market is a lucrative domestic and export industry to Australia. On top of that, Australia is still one of the world’s largest suppliers of wool, producing a substantial amount of the world’s high quality unprocessed wool.
Blowflies and intestinal worms are two of the biggest health problems faced by the sheep producers today. They seriously affect productivity and are a major animal welfare problem within the sheep industry.
