Hello sick is a trouble for sheep farmers. If there are experienced veterinarians in the local area, it may be better. However, there are no veterinarians who specialize in treating sheep disease in many places. They may not even be as good as ordinary sheep farmers for treating sheep diseases. Therefore, many sheep farmers have the habit of seeking help online when they encounter sheep diseases. Today, the editor will introduce some basic knowledge about sheep disease treatment. Even if you still can't treat sheep diseases, at least you can describe the condition clearly when asking others for help!
1. How to find sick sheep?
Raising sheep is a task that requires careful consideration. If you have any questions, observe the condition of the sheep more. If you find abnormal sheep, you need further observation and diagnosis. Every time you feed the sheep, you can observe the sheep's trough, feeding, etc., and the sheep with slow trough and low feeding may have problems. If you have any problems, you usually walk around the sheep's house for a few more times. Sheep who stay alone in the corner, are listless and slow to react may be sick. When cleaning the sheep's house, observe whether the sheep's feces are normal. When you find that there is dilute feces, you should find which sheep is pulled. The anus of the sheep with diarrhea will be contaminated... As long as you are careful and careful enough, you can find a suspected sick sheep. Then we can further observe and diagnose whether the sheep is really sick.
. 1 measure, that is, measure the sheep's body temperature. The normal body temperature of the sheep is 38℃~39.5℃, and the body temperature of the lamb is slightly higher. In addition, there will be certain body temperature fluctuations during the day. For example, after exercise and after exposure to the sun, the body temperature will increase, but the fluctuation range will mostly be within 1℃. Use a thermometer to measure the temperature in the anus. If the temperature reaches above 40.5℃, it is very likely to get sick.
two listens, that is, listen to the breathing sound of sheep and the peristaltic sound of rumen . Use a stethoscope to listen to the breathing sound of sheep. When healthy sheep inhale, they will hear the sound of "husband" and when exhale, they will hear the sound of "expiry". Excessive breathing sound is more common in bronchitis and bronchitis pneumonia , etc. Excessive breathing sound is often found in pneumonia condensation stage, emphysema in the lungs, etc., and hearing the sound of "he" is more common in the middle and late stages of infectious pleuropneumonia. Without a stethoscope, we can listen to the sheep's cough, sneezing and breathing sounds to determine whether the sheep is sick. When sheep experience symptoms such as decreased feeding, bloating, constipation, etc., we also need to listen to the peristalsis of the rumen. Healthy sheep have peristalsis 2 to 4 times per minute and are strong peristalsis. The number of rumen peristalsis and weak peristalsis indicates that there are certain problems in the digestive function of the sheep.
three-view, that is, look at the body condition, secretions and rumination and excretion. First of all, we need to look at the basic information of the body condition, hair color, spirit, reaction and exercise. Healthy sheep have good fat, bright hair color, good spirit, quick reaction, and agile movements. Otherwise, it is a problem sheep; secondly, we can look at the secretions in the eyes, nose and other parts of the sheep. If sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep if she is sheep. Finally, we need to observe the rumination and excretion of sheep. Healthy sheep starts to ruminate after 30 to 60 minutes after feeding. Each time, rumination is 40 to 70 minutes. There must be problems with sheep digestion, and there will be many ruminations, and it will be accompanied by rumen food or rumen flatulence. In addition to rumination, we also need to see whether the excretion is normal. Diffusion and constipation are abnormal. However, the problem of lump feces is not big. It is more common in sheep that are raised for a long time, lack of exercise, and excessive feeding of essence.
2. How to diagnose specific sheep disease?
After the diseased sheep is found, we can diagnose the specific sheep disease through specific symptoms and manifestations so that corresponding medication can be treated. When we cannot confirm the specific sheep disease, we should clearly describe the specific manifestations of the sheep's spirit, exercise, feeding, rumination, excretion, body temperature, and breathing, so that others can make an accurate diagnosis. If we only describe the description of the sheep's poor spirit or the sheep's poor food, there is no way to diagnose the specific sheep's disease by describing it.
Sheep's body temperature is more common in respiratory diseases, such as colds, bronchitis and pneumonia. In addition, the body temperature can also increase in sheep when severely infected with parasites, limb and hoof diseases and diarrhea infections;
Sheep's cough, thick breathing sound, runny nose is mostly respiratory diseases, and common colds, bronchitis and pneumonia will improve after medication, but it is difficult to eradicate the root after medication, and it is prone to recurrence and recurrence, and the disease occurs more severely than once;
Sheep's dry cough at night and in the morning is more common in lung filariasis;
Sheep's tears are one is respiratory disease, the second is poor air quality in the sheep's house, and the third is infectious conjunctiva keratitis, The two are generally simple tears and excessive eye boredom. Infectious conjunctival keratitis may cause red eyes and conjunctiva;
sheep's hooves swelling, rotting, and swollen joints, etc., which are more common in limb and thigh diseases such as rotten feet, laminitis and arthritis;
sheep's mouth is not contagious and is mostly stomatitis, which is rapidly contagious and scabbed in the shape of cauliflower, which is mostly sheep's mouth ulcer;
sheep's mouth, rotten feet (or hooves swelling), body temperature rises, and rapid infection is mostly foot-and-mouth disease;
sheep's wall grinding, hair licking, hair removal, etc. are mostly caused by scabies and other ectoparasites;
sheep's wool eating and soil are mostly pica caused by lack of minerals and trace elements;
ewes often appear There is a miscarriage, inability to take off the seborrhea and weak lambs. The testicles of the ram are swollen and the joints are swollen. You should consider whether you have brucellosis;
Ewes before and after birth paralysis, consider prenatal and postpartum paraplegia caused by calcium deficiency;
Ewes have red, swelling, painful breasts, and abnormal milk after childbirth. Mastitis is considered;
Ewes have endless lochia after childbirth, and there is a fishy smell, and there is a slow estrus, abnormal estrus, and repeated infertility. Consider uterine inflammation;
Lamb cannot stand up 15 to 60 days after birth, but breastfeeding is normal. Lamb white myopathy is considered. Lamb cannot stand up 7 to 40 days after birth and accompanied by indigestion. Lamb limpit paralysis ;
Lamb 2 to 6 months The fatter lambs are, the more likely they are to develop. Consider clostridium diseases, such as sheep dysplasia, sheep intestinal toxemia, etc.;
Sheep does not ruminate, rumen feeding and rumen flatulence, consider eating too much essence or young forage grass and other easily fermented forages, reducing rumen rumen rumen and indigestion, considering pregastric relaxation, and constipation in sheep gastric obstruction and intestinal obstruction;
Sheep diarrhea may be caused by indigestion, or eating too much grass, or it may be caused by bacterial and virus infection;
Sheep eats normally and loses weight without reason, considering that there are many parasites inside and outside the body;
Sheep rumen flows white foam when rumen, considering that the feed is acidic, large rumen acid is too much.
3. How to treat common sheep diseases?
There are too many sheep diseases and different symptoms require different medications to be treated. Here we cannot introduce them one by one. I will only introduce the treatment methods of common sheep diseases for your reference.
Common respiratory diseases, such as colds, bronchitis, etc., we can use antipyretic + antipyretic treatment methods. Antipyretics can be selected for antipyretics, such as Annacin, Anthodine or Chaihu. If the body temperature is not measured, you do not need to inject antipyretic drugs. Antipyretics can be used for lincomycin, penicillin + streptomycin;
Sheep infectious pleuropneumonia requires targeted drugs such as frefenicol, temicon, telomicin or telomicin for treatment;
Sheep infectious pleuropneumonia requires targeted drugs such as frefenicol, temicon, telomicin or telomicin, and combined with antipyretic drugs for treatment;
Sheep infectious pleuropneumonia requires targeted drugs such as frefenicol, telomicin, telomicin or telomicin, and are treated with antipyretic drugs;
Sheep infectious pleuropneumonia, need to be treated with targeted drugs; 3
Sheep's rumen indigestion and rumen flatulence should be fasted first, then add paraffin oil, magnesium sulfate or sodium sulfate to relieve diarrhea. As long as the gastrointestinal content is empty, it will improve;
Sheep can be fed rhamnum soda tablets, Jianwei San, dry yeast tablets and lactase, etc. when indigestion is not available, which can be fed to strengthen the stomach and supplement probiotics to enhance digestive function. At the same time, fasting should be fed, and some soft and easy-to-digestible forages should be fed when the digestive function is restored;
Sheep's bacterial diarrhea can be injected with gentamicin, acetylmethquin (Sycolijing) and other drugs, but It is important to avoid big sheep not taking antibiotics orally. Sheep also take orally gentamicin, oleracin or sulfamidine and other drugs. In addition, small and small sheep can take orally berberine and poplar flower and other Chinese medicines. When sheep have severe diarrhea, it is necessary to replenish intravenous fluids and adjust electrolyte balance.
Ewes cannot stand up before and after giving birth. Intravenous calcium gluconate injection can be injected, and vitamin D is injected intramuscularly. However, the calcium supplementation process is slow and it takes 7 to 10 days to get sick. There is some improvement;
Ewes have abnormal estrus and repeated infertility caused by postpartum uterine inflammation, and can be used to rinse the uterus, such as 0.1% potassium permanganate solution or normal saline plus oleracin or ceramycin. Ewes that have not improved after treatment are recommended to be eliminated;
Lamb white myosomia can inject sodium selenite vitamin E injection, and treatment of lamb paralysis is more difficult. Crush the undigested milk mass in the lamb belly, take rhubarb soda tablets and lactase to promote digestion, and inject complex vitamin B injection to enhance digestion.
