How to use this record to verify
This record exists so that anyone can check for themselves whether the text has been altered. Every chapter of the veterinary encyclopaedia carries a starting line number and a content hash (the first 16 characters of its SHA-256). Recompute the hash over the original chapter: if it matches the value recorded below, what is published here is identical to the source chapter. The source list at the end is the authoritative material cited by that chapter — a chapter-level correspondence, meaning those sources underpin the chapter as a whole rather than mapping sentence by sentence. This is educational information and cannot replace a practising veterinarian; in an emergency, seek care immediately.
This record notes the source location of "Sheep and Goats|10 Common Diseases (cause → signs → examination → treatment direction → prevention) | Evidence chain": the section beginning at line 236 of `27-T8-農場與T9-馬.md` in the veterinary encyclopaedia. The SHA-256 of that section (first 16 characters) is `4cfeb584275c6c7f`, which anyone can recompute to confirm the content has not been altered.

Row-level anchors
Every row of the disease table carries a row-level anchor in the source chapter (claim id plus a SHA-256 of the row content); the anchor file is `planning-out/anchor-436.tsv`. Of the 10 rows in this section, 10 have a row-level anchor. One source row may map to several claim ids, listed separated by /:
| Table row | Source chapter line | claim id |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 253 | F084 |

FAQ
- What is haemonchosis (barber pole worm), and what should send you to a veterinarian at once?
- It is a blood-feeding parasite infection, favoured by warm and humid climates. It presents with severe anaemia, submandibular oedema (bottle jaw) and weakness, and it is often one of those causes of death that stays hidden until it is already severe. The treatment direction is emergency-level (severe anaemia), and anthelmintics require a veterinary prescription. This row belongs to the group that the source chapter treats as needing prompt handling; the actual judgement still rests with a veterinarian assessing the individual case, and no drug names or doses are given here.
- What is pregnancy toxemia, and what should send you to a veterinarian at once?
- It is a negative energy balance in late multiple pregnancy. It presents with reduced appetite, dullness and neurological signs. The treatment direction is that it is an emergency requiring urgent veterinary intervention. This row belongs to the group that the source chapter treats as needing prompt handling; the actual judgement still rests with a veterinarian assessing the individual case, and no drug names or doses are given here.
- What is copper toxicosis (sheep are at particular risk — see the treatment column), and what should send you to a veterinarian at once?
- It follows ingestion of high-copper minerals or an error in the feed formulation. It is inconspicuous at first, with jaundice and haemoglobinuria appearing during an acute haemolytic crisis. The treatment direction is that it is an emergency requiring urgent veterinary handling. This row belongs to the group that the source chapter treats as needing prompt handling; the actual judgement still rests with a veterinarian assessing the individual case, and no drug names or doses are given here.
