Some sheep farmers have such a question: why some weak lambs can't be fed, and some weak lambs can be fed alive?Is there a problem with your own feeding method?In fact, there are two kinds of weak lambs, one is the weak lamb with simple lack of milk, and the other is the weak lamb with stunted growth. The former weak lamb is easy to feed alive, while the latter is not easy to feed alive.
The characteristics of simple milk deficiency weak lambs are: the ewes have enough time to get pregnant, and the lambs can stand up in time after giving birth, and can take the initiative to find milk to eat. ** When the mouth sucks strongly, the tail keeps wagging constantly. Fecal excretion is also normal. After feeding, he sleeps on the ground and rarely screams.
After a few days of giving birth to the lamb, the amount of food gradually increases, and if the ewe's milk is not enough, the lamb is in a state of hunger and begins to cry constantly. Put it next to other ewes to feed, and don't recognize it. It also sucks vigorously when feeding it formula.
Because the milk of the autologous ewes decreases, the lambs will form weak lambs due to lack of milk. It is easy to feed it when it is fed with a nanny sheep or with goat milk powder. Some lambs also grow normally.
Weak lambs that are stunted are characterized by difficulty standing up after giving birth. Stand up and don't rush ** not even **. His mouth is weak and his appetite is small. ** The tail doesn't wagging much either. I always call after feeding, and I don't like to rest.
Such weak lambs are not formed by lack of milk or starvation, but by stunted growth or premature birth in the womb. Such little lambs are not even qualified for breastfeeding. To put it more clearly: it doesn't even have the ability to **. ** I can't digest it anymore.
Stunted weak lambs are particularly resistant to finding a nanny sheep to feed them when they are short of milk. Feeding goat milk powder or cow's milk is also reluctant to eat. After barely eating, diarrhea will appear. After feeding, most of them will die, and those who survive are also zombies.
This is the reason why, also as weak lambs, some can be fed alive and some cannot be fed alive when conditions permit. As a sheep farmer, after giving birth to a weak lamb, you can judge what is the cause of the formation of a weak lamb by carefully observing the demeanor and movements of the lamb. Whether there is a need for artificial feeding, and then decide whether to find a nanny sheep or other ways to feed them.
