Some general aspects of disease and fertility in relation to sheep production are discussed. These include a consideration of how losses are caused by disease, and the problems posed by lack of knowledge of economic losses associated with both overt and inapparent disease. Some problems of disease and fertility, the necessity to remain constantly aware of the dangers of exotic diseases, and the effects of higher stocking rates on sheep health are also discussed.
