1 Sheep-scab is a condition in sheep caused by infestation with a particular type of mite (Psoroptes ovis, known as the sheep-scab mite).2  This mite is a very small wingless parasite that you can only just see with the naked eye, and then only properly under a magnifying glass or a microscope. You may see wool in the mouth of the sheep and wool may also be found on fences and other objects against which the sheep rub. 2  Fluid leaks from the irritated skin, and dries to form yellow crusts or scabs. 3  This is why the condition is called scab. 4  You will see bare, scabby patches and matted wool.
The disease is most severe in. 1  lambs/kids 2 to 8 weeks of age. 2  lambs/kids 2 to 3 weeks after weaning. 3  adult sheep and goats moved to a feedlot or experiencing some other form of stress. Signs in live sheep and goats. The first sign is diarrhoea. The back legs are dirty (with droppings) and this may result in blowfly strike. Sheep and goats are depressed and do not eat. They become severely dehydrated and may die. Signs in dead sheep and goats
