What about abnormal depilation of sheep?

Sheep is a common animal of the genus Sheep, its fur can be processed into a variety of fur products, and its meat is also a good food. In China, there are prairie areas such as Inner Mongolia and Qinghai as the main sheep breeding areas. When raising sheep, a small part of the depilation is normal, but if a large number of hair removal, or hair removal is abnormal, then we need to be prepared for prevention and control. Now let's learn about the abnormal depilation of sheep and the treatment.

1. The cause of depilation

There are two cases of sheep depilation, the first is called primary depilation, if it is this kind of depilation, it is generally caused by malnutrition, which may be mainly caused by the lack of zinc, copper, sulfur, iodine and other elements, but when sheep lack these trace elements, it not only leads to depilation, but also leads to other diseases, so if it occurs, it should be treated in time. The second is symptomatic depilation, which is caused by parasitic dermatoses. Generally speaking, there are too many parasites in sheep and there is no deworming. Of course, there may also be other infectious diseases in the process of recovery, leading to the emergence of symptomatic depilation.

2. Symptoms of depilation

When sheep have hair loss, the wool on the side of the neck usually falls off first, and then spreads to the side of the body and even to the whole body with the disease at home. Before that, sheep had dull hair, grayish brown eyes, anaemia and pica. Slowly, sheep ate each other's coat, wool was not bent enough, and there was no hair on large areas of the ground. Of course, there are skin keratosis, eczema-like dermatitis, more serious is that there will be diarrhea, uncoordinated movement, the most serious is that if not treated in time, there may be death.

3. Treatment methods

In fact, the treatment of sheep depilation is very simple, when we find a slight hair loss in sheep, we have to diagnose it, and then prescribe the right medicine. If it is caused by malnutrition, then zinc carbonate, or zinc sulfate, zinc oxide and so on can be added to the feed, and cobalt will be added to the feed for better results. If it is caused by parasitic skin diseases or infectious diseases, then timely deworming and isolation treatment are needed.

4. Points for attention

When raising sheep, in order to avoid abnormal depilation, in fact, we can start from these aspects in the usual feeding process. The first is to clean the sheepfold regularly and disinfect; the second is to feed scientifically to ensure the nutritional balance of feed; at the same time to supplement enough water, drinking water can not be cut off. In addition, when we are raising, we can also add some salt to the feed, which can improve the digestibility of sheep and effectively absorb nutrients.

These are all the contents that the editor wants to share with you today. I hope you will be more careful when raising sheep in the future. At the same time, I also wish you more and more success in your breeding career. If you have anything to add, you can also leave us a message, and we will continue to update and improve it.
