Matters needing attention in giving birth in sheep

The sheep could produce a good number of children every year, and the number of times was only once or twice. However, these few times were the most important. After all, the self-breeding and self-cultivation of his farm depended on this. So need careful management sheep birth stage, what problems need to pay attention to?

1. Adjust feeding ingredients

Fattening is the key before ewes give birth. Only when ewes grow well, lambs will be healthy after they come out. Therefore, feed adjustment for ewes at this stage should be timely. At this time, the roughage of breeding accounts for about 5-7 percent of the daily, the concentrate accounts for 2-3 percent, and the rest is the supplement of some urgently needed nutrients and fresh fodder. There can be a certain amount of food left over from the feeding, ensuring that the ewes are full, and a little fresh fodder can be left beside the ewes for them to chew after feeding.

2. Timely grouping

Grouping should be carried out in time after pregnancy, otherwise it is easy to cause problems in the birth of ewes. The ewes at this stage are not very strong in physical resistance, relatively weak, and extremely poor in external force tolerance. Failure to group will lead to an increase in the probability of injury to ewes, and the pups may have died. When grouping, the density should not be too large. Divide pregnant ewes into multiple groups, control them in 5-10 ewes per column, and 3-5 ewes per column if the number is small. Allow them plenty of free space to move around and protect them.

3. Improve the sheep house

At this stage, the sheep house for breeding ewes should also be properly rectified, mainly to provide a better living place for them. The sheep house should be kept clean and dry at the same time. The distance between the trough and the sink should be close to avoid frequent movement of ewes. It is best to replace the water in the trough in time. Several additional troughs can be prepared for easy replacement and cleaning. Prepare thicker bedding where ewes rest most often. The inside of the sheep house should be smooth, and there should be no sharp places, so as not to accidentally hurt the ewes.

4, temperature control feed

Before and after giving birth, sheep need to be prepared for temperature control. The temperature should be controlled at a suitable temperature for sheep cubs, and it needs to be controlled at this level for a long time. Especially in the weeks after the sheep gave birth, the temperature must be controlled in a balanced range to avoid temperature fluctuations that bring discomfort to the sheep. Feeding after the sheep gives birth is also very important. One is nutrient supplement for the ewes, and the other is initial nutrition supplement for the sheep cubs. The former allows the ewes to recover quickly, while the latter allows the sheep cubs to grow quickly.

The above are some places to pay attention to when sheep give birth. These are just some important ones. There are many other small details that we can't ignore. This stage of sheep giving birth is the most troublesome stage of raising sheep, which is more troublesome than sheep disease.
