Summer care sheep pay attention to what

Summer forage is abundant, it is a good opportunity for meat sheep to grazing. However, the hot weather in summer can easily cause heatstroke in sheep or cause other diseases. Therefore, farmers need to adjust measures to local conditions, scientifically stocking, to achieve the purpose of rapid fattening.

First, to the sheep anthelmintic bath. Adult sheep and postpartum ewes can use the novel anthelmintic aforein (insect nemesis) to drive off the internal and external parasites before mid-May. Dosage: 50 kg body weight 5 grams of insect killer, mixed feed in the feed. Repeat dosing every 7 to 10 days. Lambs produced in the spring may be treated with nitrate-nitrogen powder, etc., according to their medicinal instructions.

Second, pay attention to sheep house reconstruction. You should choose to build a sheep house in an unobstructed high-strip area to maintain ventilation and facilitate the cleaning of excrement. The height of the sheep house should be kept at about 2 meters to achieve waterproof, ventilation and heat insulation. There must be a certain slope at the entrance, but it must be leveled so that the sheep will come in and out at the bottom of the hour.

Third, scientific grazing. Hot weather in summer, early grazing in the morning should be early to return, the general dew just dry to grazing. From 11pm to 3pm, the goats are allowed to rest in the circle to graze. In the afternoon, the goats can be grazing at 5 o'clock. On a hot day, choose to grazing in the shade to prevent heat stroke.

Fourth, pay attention to salt water supply. When feeding 1 to 2 mixed feeds a day (made of wheat bran, cornmeal, soybean meal, etc. plus rice bran and straw grass), the goats should also be given 4 to 6 dilute brines every day. Do not allow the sheep to drink dead pond water, drain water, ditch water or let the sheep graze in moist and muddy places to rest, so as not to cause rheumatism.

Fifth, prevent wind and rain attacks. Thunderstorms are more frequent in summer, and it is easy for the flock to catch cold and fall out if it is attacked. Therefore, summer grazing should be avoided as much as possible. In rainy and snowy weather, when grazing, you can bring large pieces of fiber cloth that can hold the flock. The four corners are fastened on the roots of the big tree, and the middle is lifted with a thick wooden stick. This allows the sheep to temporarily shelter from the rain. In addition, avoid lightning and thunder when grazing on steep slopes to prevent sheep from being hurt.

Six, pay attention to cooling body. Summer sheep can easily get angry. Therefore, it is very important to cool sheep every day to ensure the health of the sheep. After a long period of grazing, sheep often cause fatigue and sultry, which is easy to get sick. Don't rush into the sheepfold at noon to graze the sheep. You can let the sheep rest and drink in the shade. After grazing in the evening, the sheep can be kept in the shed for a period of time. Do not hurry to chase the sheep each time you are grazing and gathering. You should let the sheep walk slowly, move, and cool.

Seven, do a good job in environmental health. In summer, when the animals are hot and humid in the summer, the sheep's grazing returns and the range of activities becomes smaller, which may cause moisture and environmental problems in the pens, which may cause parasites. Therefore, attention should be paid to the environmental sanitation, ventilation, and moisture-proof of the sheep houses to keep the sheep houses clean. Dry and cool. Daily feeds and drinking water must be kept clean. Do not feed molds, spoilage, poisonous, and inclusions. Feeding utensils are often kept clean. Sheds and sports grounds should be cleaned regularly and disinfected regularly.

Eight, prevention and treatment of diseases. Regular injections should be made. Injections should be taken seriously, and inventory should be made on a case-by-case basis. Always pay attention to the sheep's state of mind, appetite and feces when grazing. Pay special attention to the disease prevention and control of the lamb. In general, lambs should be given 10 mg of oxytetracycline within 36 hours of birth, twice a day, for 3 days, which can reduce the incidence of diseases. Specific can do the following: (1) timely injection of goat pox and quadruple vaccine (anthrax, fast-fed, goat pox, sheep enterotoxemia). (2) Lamb dysentery. With sulfa 0.5 g, sodium bicarbonate 0.2 g, 1 oral, and even served 3 times, or penicillin 5 to 100,000 units, intramuscular injection twice daily. (3) Lamb pneumonia. Intravenous injection of 10% sulfadiazine sodium 5 ~ 10 ml, plus 25% glucose solution 20 ~ 30 ml.
