Three-week-old lamb management points

1, early to eat colostrum: As soon as possible so that the lamb eat colostrum, and the amount should be enough. The amount of colostrum taken by the lamb is roughly 5% of its body weight. Half of the amount is after birth, the sooner it is eaten, the better, and the other half will eat within 10-12 hours thereafter.

2, to prevent the lack of milk: the lamb can not eat after the birth of mother's milk, physical weakness, often due to hunger and death. Early discovery, artificial warming, timely filling 1/3-1/2 cup of colostrum, enhance the resistance of the lamb. When the lamb is larger, use artificial feeding, feed 1/5 of body weight and feed it with a bottle, 2 times sooner or later.

3, to prevent umbilical cord infection: the newborn lamb's umbilical cord does not dry in the days after birth, is the passage of bacteria in vitro invade the sheep. There is also a umbilical cord infection, in which the lamb does not show symptoms until 3 weeks of age, but there is an abscess at the joints, which reduces the chance of breastfeeding and dies of hunger.

4. Lamb diarrhoea: When 3 days of age have not been transferred out of a lamb-producing single room, it is prone to water diarrhea, and it is easy to die if the dehydration is serious. Do preventive work. (1) E. coli vaccine preparations were injected 30 days before the ewe. (2) The ewes cut the hair 30-45 days before lambing, or cut the hairs of the breasts individually. (3) Do not reuse pre-swept mats. (4) The diseased lambs are cleaned and disinfected in a single room, lime water is sprayed, and the place where the waste is collected is scrubbed with hot bleached water.

5, to prevent type C enterotoxemia: mainly seen in the 1-2 weeks old lamb nutrition disorders, such as snatching food, start feeding or a sudden increase in milk supply. After the lamb is infected, it has a fast onset, often suddenly dies, or has abdominal pain, convulsions, and dies within 2-12 hours. Do a good job of prevention. (1) Ewes are injected 30 days before delivery. (2) For lambs born to unvaccinated ewes, the vaccine is injected once every 2-3 days and once again after 2 weeks of age.
