Key points of delivery and delivery of ewes

The ewe will give birth in about 150th day of pregnancy. Before giving birth, we must be ready. The floor of the delivery room must be dry, clean, disinfect, bedding short, soft and clean. The indoor temperature is above 10 ℃. Prepare iodine, cotton and other disinfectants for delivery, and prepare cardiotonic agents, sedatives, oxytocin and so on. When giving birth to lambs, the environment should be quiet, do not disturb the ewes, peek rather than watch.

A week before delivery, the ewe had swollen nipples, upright nipples and milk, swollen vulva and thick mucus, increased urination, irritability and restlessness before labor, constantly looking back at the abdomen, and digging the ground with the forelimbs, bleating from time to time, loss of appetite and stopping reverse grinding. The above reaction indicates that it is time for the ewe to give birth.

Under normal circumstances, shortly after the amniotic membrane is broken, the lamb's front hooves and head are exposed first, and the fetus falls to the ground. when giving birth to two or more lambs, the ewe is often tired and should prepare for artificial midwifery. At this time, you can use your hands under the abdomen of the ewe to help the ewe expel the fetus. After the lamb is separated from the mother, it is necessary to clean the lamb's mouth, nose and ears in time. The mucus on the lamb should be licked dry or roasted dry by fire. The umbilical cord of the lamb can be cut, and the break should be coated with iodine to prevent inflammation.

Ewes postpartum mouth drink, tired, to drink warm sugar water or dilute millet soup. Prevent the ewe from eating and biting the lamb because of drinking. Zheng Wei
