Prevention of lamb diarrhea is key, pay attention to doing the "two feedings" well
To prevent lamb diarrhea, pay attention to the "two feedings"
(Agricultural Wealth Network) First, feed colostrum well The protein content of colostrum is 4 times that of regular milk, the milk fat rate is 2 times that of regular milk, and it is rich in minerals, among which a large amount of magnesium ions can promote the passage of meconium. In addition, colostrum also contains antibodies for lambs to establish their own immune system, and lambs that drink enough colostrum can improve their ability to resist diseases. Therefore, lambs should drink colostrum promptly after birth. In actual operation, the mother sheep's milk plug should be squeezed out as the standard, and colostrum should not be wasted excessively. When a mother sheep gives birth to multiple lambs in one litter, all lambs should be allowed to drink colostrum, and the weaker and smaller the lamb, the more it should be helped by artificial assistance to drink more colostrum.
Second, feed green, succulent feed in a timely manner Lambs are best started on feed at around 10 days of age. In addition to supplying full-price concentrated feed, high-quality green hay, carrots and other roughage should also be supplemented in a timely manner. For lambs, the earlier supplementary feed is given, the more beneficial it is to the development of the rumen.
