Lamb dysentery

(agricultural Wealth Network) [characteristics]

The disease mainly harms newborn lambs within 7 days of age, which is acute toxemia caused by Clostridium perfringens. In addition, salmonella, Escherichia coli and streptococcus can also cause disease, characterized by persistent dysentery, commonly known as "diarrhea", "white dysentery" and "bleeding", which can often cause a large number of lambs to die. The disease is easy to be infected when the climate changes suddenly, hunger and satiety are uneven, and umbilical cord is injured.

(2) the diseased lambs were given 0.3 grams of oxytetracycline and 0.3 grams of pepsin twice a day.

3. Sulfonamidine 0.5 g, tannic acid protein, bismuth subnitrite, baking soda 0.2 g each, once, 3 times a day.
