The document discusses several diseases that lowland sheep are more susceptible to compared to hill sheep, including maggots, internal parasites, and footrot. Maggots and footrot are better controlled in hill sheep due to their natural habitat, while lowland sheep are more affected by these conditions due to climate and higher stocking rates on farms. The document also provides details on maggot prevention methods, common parasites such as worms and liver fluke, symptoms and management of footrot, and an overview of bluetongue virus which can cause inflammation and hemorrhaging in sheep.
