The medicine bath time is divided into two times, the first time is 7-10 days after shearing, when the sheep can also adapt to external stimulation, and the skin wound is almost healed during shearing; the second time is 7-10 days after the first medicine bath. All the agents in the medicine bath can be purchased or self-prepared, and 0.1% chlordimeform solution, 1% trichlorfon solution, 80ml / liter permethrin solution and 50ml / liter deltamethrin solution can be added to the water.

If the medicine bath is small-scale breeding, you can use buckets or water tank utensils, in the bucket or tank species to add medicine bath solution, two people will grasp the sheep's limbs, so that its abdomen up, in addition to the head, the sheep body will be immersed in the liquid medicine for two or three minutes, and finally the head will be quickly soaked 2-3 times, each time a second or two can be, to prevent sheep choking water. If it is large-scale breeding, this method does not adapt, it is necessary to build a special medicine bath, make a slope at the entrance of the bath, and the sheep slide in and slowly pass through the bath, while the exit should be set as a step to facilitate the sheep to get out, and a drip table should be set up. After the sheep get out of the bath, stay for a while and let the liquid on the body return to the pool.

Before medicine bath and before shearing, stop grazing and feeding, let sheep have an empty stomach for 8 hours, and then 2 hours before medicine bath, let them drink enough water to prevent accidental ingestion of medicine liquid during medicine bath. In the medicine bath, we should first choose the sheep with weak physique to experiment to see whether the concentration of the medicine bath will lead to sheep poisoning. After the experiment, after determining that the medicine bath is non-toxic, we can organize the sheep medicine bath. In the medicine bath, it is necessary to remove the fecal dirt in the medicine bath in time, keep the medicine liquid clean, and make sure that the whole body is soaked in the medicine bath, do not miss any part of the sheep body, and ensure complete insecticidal and sterilization.
