How to treat lamb paralysis

Sheep is a very important livestock in China, and the market demand for mutton and wool is very large. Mutton now the market is relatively stable, so the breeding area is also expanding. However, there are often some problems in breeding, especially lambs, in which lamb paralysis is a kind of. Lamb paralysis will seriously affect the growth of lambs, so how do we prevent it? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Strengthen management

When the ewe enters the later stage of pregnancy, it is necessary to increase the amount of feeding and nutrition. To meet the nutritional needs of ewe production and fetal sheep development, when the fetus sheep is in a period of increase, the abdominal pressure of ewes increases, resulting in a decrease in the capacity of the gastrointestinal tract. If the feeding amount is not increased, it will easily lead to malnutrition of ewes. Therefore, we must pay attention to doing a good job of feeding, especially common nutrients such as protein and vitamins.

2. Promote exercise

Ewes' exercise during pregnancy is also very important. In the middle and later stages of pregnancy, pay attention to making ewes exercise more. Maintain about three hours of activity every day to enhance the physique of ewes and promote the development of fetal sheep. In the low temperature in winter, we should pay attention to let the ewes bask in the sun when there is the sun, so as to enhance the resistance of the ewes.

3. Disinfection and sterilization

During the pregnancy of ewes, attention should be paid to the disinfection of the delivery room and the surrounding environment of ewes. At least once a day, do not use a single disinfectant for a long time to prevent resistance. Attention should also be paid to the disinfection of midwives and appliances during delivery to prevent bacterial infection during delivery. It is also necessary to wash and disinfect the nipples of ewes for about 3 times to prevent colostrum from infecting lambs.

4. Lamb management

After giving birth to ewes, attention should be paid to the management of lambs. Especially the temperature control, the temperature should be kept at about 28 degrees, not less than 25 degrees, the temperature is too low can easily affect the survival of lambs. Then we should pay attention to control the density so that each lamb has plenty of room to grow. Finally, the lambs were injected with sodium selenite and other drugs within three days after birth, and the feed was mixed with oxytetracycline and other drugs for prevention.

5. Timely treatment

There is no complete cure for lamb paralysis. It is mainly through the discovery time to determine whether it can be cured, and if it is found that it can be found on the day of the disease, then there is a good chance that it can be cured. However, if the time is too long, due to paralysis for a long time, the lamb loses its nerve and tissue function and loses its therapeutic value. For the discovery of earlier lambs can be appropriate pig house cod liver oil, Shenmai and other drugs, has a better therapeutic effect.

The above is a brief introduction to how to treat lamb paralysis. There is no effective treatment for lamb paralysis, and the mortality rate can reach 50%, which will have a great impact on the efficiency of breeding. Therefore, prevention is the main focus, so we must pay more attention to it. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
