What are the prevention and control measures for ewe miscarriage?
Sheep are an important livestock species in China, raised in every part of the country, and their uses are extremely wide-ranging. Not only are the meat and milk edible, but the wool also has great value in use. Today the scale of farming is growing larger and larger, and the problems are also increasing. Among them, miscarriage is a very common problem and has a major impact on farming profitability. So what should be done about ewe miscarriage? Let us take a look below!
1. Strengthen management
During farming, we must pay attention to controlling the ewe's nutritional structure well, adjust the feed reasonably, and ensure the nutrition is comprehensive and balanced. When feeding, never feed moldy or spoiled feed, and never feed cold water, to avoid causing gastrointestinal diseases in the ewe and affecting production. Then the temperature of the sheep shed must be controlled well, ensuring the shed is warm and dry with good ventilation. Disinfect the sheep shed regularly to prevent the growth of bacteria and to reduce the ewe's resistance. Then when grazing pregnant ewes, be careful not to be too rough, to prevent the pregnant ewes from being startled and miscarrying.
2. Strengthen epidemic prevention
A large part of the reason for ewe miscarriage is disease in the ewe. So doing epidemic prevention work well also indirectly reduces ewe miscarriage. Conduct comprehensive examinations of the sheep regularly, then carry out epidemic prevention work strictly according to the sheep's immunization schedule to improve the ewe's disease resistance. Do a good job of observing the disease situation, and strictly manage people, animals and vehicles entering and leaving the sheep shed to prevent bringing in disease. For sheep showing signs of disease, isolate and raise them promptly, check the specific cause, and then take corresponding measures.
3. Improve the overall quality of the flock
Improving the overall quality of the flock is a key measure for ensuring farming profitability, and it is also an effective way to prevent ewe miscarriage. We must reasonably adjust the flock structure according to the sheep's growth conditions. Use correct breeding methods, and every year continuously cull sheep of poor quality such as those with disease, weak bodies or poor reproductive ability. Retain high-quality ones, improve quality, and ensure the flock's reproductive ability. Naturally, this can effectively reduce ewe miscarriage.
4. Timely treatment
When you find that a ewe shows some miscarriage symptoms, such as restlessness, frequent urination, bleeding from the genitals and the like, these are pre-miscarriage symptoms, so everyone must handle them promptly. First, you can give the ewe baijiu to reduce the straining contractions. Then reasonably use fetus-soothing powder, fetus-soothing decoction and progesterone and other pregnancy-preserving medicines. Remember to handle it promptly; improper handling may not only lead to the ewe miscarrying but may also cause the ewe's death.
The above is a brief introduction to the prevention and control measures for ewe miscarriage. When raising sheep, we must do prevention work well, and when miscarriage occurs, we must also pay attention to identifying the cause and carrying out corresponding prevention and control measures.
