How to improve the survival rate of lamb

1. Ewe feed more. Feeding time is mainly in late pregnancy and lactation, about 4 months. Supplementary feeding should choose good quality hay and fine material, daily supplement can feed hay 1.5 kg (as well as wild or wild hay), silage 1.5 kg, fine material 0.45 kg. Within three days of lambing, if the ewes are of good quality, they may not feed the concentrate at the moment and only feed high quality hay to prevent indigestion or mastitis.

2. Lamb care. Lambs need to eat colostrum 1 to 3 days after birth. For weak and poor mothers, artificially assisted feeding is required. Within 7 days after giving birth, don't bring the ewes and lambs to windy places outside the house. After 7 days, the ewes can properly go outside to eat grass. Lambs should be trained to graze when they are between 15 and 20 days of age. 50-75g/day for half-month feeding; 100g/day for 1 month to 2 months; 200g/day for 2 months to 3 months; 3 months to 4 months 250g/day at age. The composition of the mixture is preferably beans, buckwheat, corn and the like. Dry grasses such as alfalfa and hay are preferred. Feed the concentrate first, then feed the coarse material, and also properly feed the green feed, such as carrots, while ensuring sufficient drinking water.

3. Disease prevention in time. After a week of birth, lambs are prone to dysentery. Lamb dysentery is an acute intestinal infectious disease with severe diarrhea and neurological symptoms. Mortality is high and comprehensive control measures should be taken. For ewes, we must strengthen feeding and management. Do a good job in winter and early spring to ensure that the lambs produced are robust and have sufficient milk. The sheep house should be kept warm in winter and spring, and the temperature in the house should not be too low; and keep the sheep house dry. The ewes should cut off the dirty hair around their breasts before breast-feeding, and squeeze a few drops of colostrum to lick the milk. After the lamb is born, it must be promptly picked up to breast milk in order to enhance its immunity. The oxytetracycline should be fed within 12 hours of the birth of the lamb, and 0.15 g to 0.2 g each, once a day, for 3 days, can have a preventive effect. Observe the lambs in time to ensure that the disease is discovered in time and promptly treated.
