How to improve lamb survival rate

The rate of each lamb is not very high, so every lamb is very precious, but the survival rate of the lamb has always been a big problem, so how to improve the survival rate of the lamb? Which aspect should we start with? Next, let's go with the pro-agriculture network to understand the matters needing attention in this respect.

1. Prenatal management

The management of prenatal ewes is very important. Healthy ewes can provide a high quality growth environment for lambs. Therefore, ewes should be carefully managed in the late stage of pregnancy, first of all, feed protein content should be increased, so that the mother can provide more nutrition to the lambs. Then all kinds of trace elements to ensure the supply of ewes, at this time the lamb is in a state of shaping, all kinds of trace elements are in urgent shortage, at this time to ensure the supply of trace elements, lambs in the mother can have a healthy and strong body.

2. Postpartum nursing

The lamb should wipe off the dirty blood and other things immediately after birth to keep the lamb's body dry, especially the mouth, nose and eyes of the lamb. Then move the lamb to the ewe to help it eat the first mouthful of milk, the newborn sheep actually need to be replenished, because the nutrition provided by the mother will slowly decrease when the lamb is about to be born, so it is very important that the newborn lamb can eat goat's milk immediately. It must be eliminated when ligating the umbilical cord, otherwise it will cause infection.

3. Adjustment of sheep shed

At this time, the sheds must be adjusted, first of all, ewes can not directly touch the ground, ewes lie down a little thicker, otherwise ewes get sick, goat milk will not be conducive to the eating of lambs. Secondly, the ground is padded as far as possible, many farmers do not pay attention to this, resulting in the initial lamb walking around rest because of diarrhea, seriously leading to death. The second is that the temperature of the sheep shed should be kept at about 30 ℃ at this time, otherwise the lamb is very likely to die of cold.

4. Artificial feeding

The initial feeding of lambs is still very important, so try to raise some thin lambs in captivity at this time. Weaker lambs are often unable to eat independently, resulting in later starvation to death. If we assist these lambs in feeding, it will greatly improve the survival rate of lambs. These lambs can not only be fed with goat milk to solve the problem, artificial feeding some fresh feed can effectively improve the survival rate of lambs, because it will help them to supplement a lot of nutrition.

Lambs are relatively easy to feed, because many of their performance is extremely obvious, as long as we do a good job of the above preventive treatment, I believe that the survival rate of lambs will be greatly improved. Carefulness is a necessary condition for raising lambs in the early stage, so we should not muddle through.
