Why should cattle and sheep not be fed rice water after giving birth?
A farmer fed rice water to a cow after it gave birth to a calf, which caused rumen acidosis in the cow. Fortunately, the veterinarian treated it in time, so no loss was caused.

What should be noted when giving injections to a sick turtle?
For captive-bred turtles that fall ill, treatment methods such as oral medication, injections, applying medicine, or even medicated baths can be used.
