Abstract
Risk indicators for Pasteurella haemolytica related summer pneumonia i n lambs in the Netherlands were investigated using a mail questionnair e survey of 860 flocks. The response rate was 64% (n=550). Multivariat e risk analysis indicated that taking sheep to sheep fairs, the purcha se of sheep and/or lambs, the lack of possibility for indoor housing, and an increased flock size were associated with increased risk of occ urrence of summer pneumonia in lambs of the home flock.
