Matters needing attention in raising sheep in summer

1. Environmental hygiene:

The floor of the sheep house should be dry, hygienic and ventilated, and the playground should be regularly cleaned and disinfected regularly.

Pay attention to the heat dissipation and heat prevention of sheep. It is hot and humid in summer, so we must do a good job in preventing heat and cooling. Choose shady places when grazing and avoid grazing when it is hot at noon. Do not drive the sheep too quickly every time of grazing and harvest, avoid strenuous exercise, let the sheep walk slowly, cool the body and dissipate heat.

Second, drinking water and feeding:

Drinking water should increase water and salt, and high temperatures in summer should keep fresh and clean water in the sheep's drinking fountain, so that the sheep can drink freely. At the same time, pay attention to the addition of salt, according to the sheep body weight to add 0.2 g / kg, in order to maintain the acid-base balance in the sheep machine. In terms of feeding, do not feed moldy, poisonous or foreign bodies.

3. Regular deworming:

There are more time for grazing in summer, and it is easy to be infected with a variety of parasites, so parasites inside and outside the body should be eliminated regularly. Avermectin and ivermectin are commonly used to drive parasites in vitro, albendazole and levamisole are commonly used to drive parasites in vivo. In summer, pay special attention to expelling Fasciola hepatica, do not go to the swamp to graze. General use of nitrate powder, albendazole, cyanoiodide sodium and so on.

Fourth, pay attention to the prevention of wind, rain, lightning and lightning:

There are more thunderstorms in summer, so once the sheep are attacked, it is easy to catch cold and catch cold. Sheep frightened by lightning is also easy to cause stress response, the decline of immunity, will lead to the occurrence of other diseases. Therefore, summer grazing should avoid thunderstorm weather and avoid grazing when there is lightning and thunder.

5. Only sheep will be introduced:

Sheep must be introduced in non-epidemic areas when introducing sheep. Newly purchased sheep only need to be quarantined and observed for a period of time to make sure that the animals are healthy and regroup.

VI. Prevention and treatment of sheep diseases:

According to the immunization procedure, we should regularly inject vaccine against sheep, foot-and-mouth disease, sheep pox, sheep brucellosis, small ruminant disease, encephalitis and so on. Pay attention to the situation of the sheep at any time, and observe the mental state, appetite, feces and so on. Once an infectious disease or suspected infectious disease is found, it should be immediately isolated and promptly referred to a veterinarian for treatment. The dead bodies should be buried or burned so as to cut off the pathogen, control the epidemic and cull in time. Jia Chunlei
