Prevent sheep from blindness in spring

Sheep eating poisonous Hemerocallis (cauliflower) root will cause poisoning. The clinical manifestations are characterized by blindness, dilated pupils, bladder paralysis, urine accumulation and systemic paralysis, which is called "blindness". In early spring, when the forage grass is green and yellow, when Hemerocallis sprouts, grazing sheep often lead to poisoning after eating, and usually die after 2-4 days. Those with mild poisoning can recover, but those with blindness and dilated pupils can not recover.

For this disease, there is no effective detoxification, mainly to do a good job of prevention. Transplant or discarded cauliflower roots should not be thrown on the ground or in the field, should be collected and destroyed, do not allow sheep to feed. It is strictly forbidden to drive sheep to the ridges, fields or grasslands where cauliflower grows during the dry season, and graze them every year after the forage grass turns green in April.
