Therapeutic regimens of endotoxaemia in sheep

Endotoxaemia is an inflammatory condition which happens due to the presence of outer cell wall layer of Gram-negative bacteria in blood circulation, containing lipopolysaccharide commonly known as endotoxin. This condition causes high mortality in affected animals and sheep are highly suscepti-ble in this regard. Several researchers have emphasised the therapeutic regimens of endotoxaemia and its sequels in sheep. Furthermore, sheep are among the most commonly used animal species in ex-perimental studies on endotoxaemia, and for the past five decades, ovine models have been employed to evaluate different aspects of endotoxaemia. Currently, there are several studies on experimentally induced endotoxaemia in sheep, and information regarding novel therapeutic protocols in this species contributes to better understanding and treating the condition. This review aims to specifically intro-duce various treatment methods of endotoxaemia in sheep.
