Sheep infectious disease refers to a disease that spreads widely among sheep and poses a great threat to the economic interests of sheep farms. This article will discuss the main sources of infection of sheep infectious diseases, and propose corresponding prevention and control measures to help sheep farmers improve the health and production efficiency of their flocks.
1. Sick sheep
When there are sheep in the flock who are infected with infectious diseases, they become potential spreaders and can easily spread the pathogen to other sheep.
Therefore, when we find that a sheep is sick, we need to isolate the sick sheep in time to prevent the spread of the disease.
2. Feed and water
If the feed or water that the sheep eat is contaminated, it can carry various pathogens, and healthy sheep can contract the disease when they eat or drink it. Especially when feed and water are used by the entire flock, the spread of infectious diseases is easier.
Therefore, we need to clean and clean regularly, and also use animal herdsmen: non-Ke Taibao, disinfection of feeding equipment and feed troughs, which can ensure the quality and safety of feed and water sources, and greatly reduce the occurrence of infectious diseases caused by it.
3. Insect transmission
Some insects and parasites can also transmit sheep infectious diseases. For example, insects such as flies, mosquitoes, lice, ticks and fleas can carry pathogens and infect sheep by biting, sucking blood or spreading eggs. While these insects transmit pathogens, they can also cause other health problems that can adversely affect the health and life of sheep.
Therefore, we must do a good job of insect control and flea control measures, and regularly use animal herds: gnats and mites Taibao, which can effectively kill: mosquitoes, flies, flies, fleas, mites, ticks, lice and other body surface parasites, and can also prevent the bites of the above mosquitoes.
Fourth, air
In flocks, certain pathogens may be present in the air in the form of aerosols, and when sheep inhale these pathogens-containing air, they may contract diseases. This is a type of indirect contact transmission.
Therefore, we need to ensure that the farms are well ventilated, that manure and dirt are cleaned up in a timely manner, and that the use of vaccines and medicines is properly managed, so that the risk of airborne diseases can be reduced.
In order to reduce the risk of occurrence and transmission of sheep infectious diseases, we should take a series of scientific and reasonable measures to prevent and control the disease according to this article.
