PPR, Small Ruminants, and the Big Stakes for Veterinary Professionals

Sheep and goats might not dominate social media feeds, but for more than 330 million people worldwide, they are everything. Small ruminants are savings accounts on four legs. They provide food, income, manure for crops, and a safety net when drought or crop failure hits. In many regions, women and young people are the primary caretakers, making small ruminant health inseparable from gender equity, youth livelihoods, and community resilience.
