In this article process of a yagneniye, care of a uterus with newborn lambs, cultivation of lambs to an otbivka and after an otbivka, a scrap of tails is in detail told about preparation of ewes for a yagneniye.
Preparation to okotu
Not to allow unjustified decrease in an exit of lambs and most to keep them to an otbivka, it is necessary to observe the following recommendations about preparation and carrying out round campaign in sheep breeding.
Preparation for a yagneniye
Suyagnye a uterus should receive qualitative highly nourishing forages that provides the birth of healthy, viable lambs. It is considered that at the end of a suyagnost the need of a uterus for a stern increases by 50-75 %. In 8-10 days prior to a yagneniye of a room clear of manure and dim a fresh laying. It is necessary to exclude drafts and dampness. By this time the temperature indoors should be supported at level 15-17°C. At a uterus it is desirable to cut off wool round external genitals.
Yagneniye
To receive a big issue for a short time (month – one and a half), completely to keep lambs is impossible without the correct organization of all works. Sheep-folds should be rather spacious and light. If there is such possibility, in an average part of a room the delivery room with individual and group cages is equipped from boards. For maintenance of optimum temperature in delivery room it is possible to use special lamps.
At approach of term of a yagneniye the uterus starts to worry, often lays down, looks back, bleats. Such uterus should be isolated. At normally proceeding childbirth, shortly after the beginning of attempts, from patrimonial ways there is a bubble which bursts, okoloplodny liquid follows forward hooves and the head of a lamb are shown. If the uterus is healthy, childbirth, as a rule, lasts till 40 minutes and comes to the end safely. If are tightened and a sheep it is disturbing bleats, it is necessary to help it.
Childbirth becomes complicated at a large fruit and its wrong situation: legs can go forward, and the head is thrown back on a back or is sprained under legs; legs are turned in under a breast; at first there is a back, legs are turned in under a stomach. In these cases purely washed up, greased with iodine and vaseline oil a hand in intervals between attempts push away a fruit back and carefully rectify its situation. After that during attempts carefully sip a lamb for legs. If it goes the back, under legs pass a strong rope loop and for it tighten a fruit.
Works in delivery room consist in the following: at a newborn lamb cut off an umbilical cord at distance of 8-10 cm from a stomach (if it didn’t break) and disinfect the end it iodine tincture. A muzzle of a lamb clear of slime and give the chance to a uterus to lick it. The slime swallowed by a uterus accelerates placenta office. If the sheep of it doesn’t do, a lamb rub off a pure rag or a straw bunch. Lambs without life signs sometimes are born. In this case it is necessary to release quickly a mouth and a nose of a lamb from slime, to open to it a mouth and strongly to blow air. Sheep often bring twins. If the uterus after twins didn’t calm down and again lays down, it is necessary to leave her alone and to wait for appearance of the following lamb which is born in 10-15 minutes. In 1-2 hours the placenta which together with a laying from under a uterus collect in a box separates and burn or dig in. The placenta delay more than at 5-6 o’clock, is hazardous to health of a uterus. In these cases the veterinary help is necessary. After the delivery (approximately in an hour) the uterus has a thirst. It is necessary to give to drink it warm water, but no more than 1-1,5 l. After a placenta exit the back and an udder of a sheep wash away warm water, it is better with soda, and wipe a pure dry rag. A place where passed childbirth, too clear.
Care of a uterus and newborn lambs
Newborn lambs need careful leaving from the moment of the birth. Right after the birth of a lamb it is necessary to take care of that it quickly dried and didn’t catch a cold. For heating of newborns it is possible to use reflectors. In 30-40 minutes after the birth of lambs admit to a uterus. Before feeding with a view of prevention of a dispeksiya it is recommended to cost the first portions of colostrum in bank. That the lamb learned to find an udder rather, it during feeding is recommended to be kept under a standing uterus. In the first 2-3 days lambs suck mother every 2-3 hour.
The main forage at this time for a uterus – hay. Juicy forages and concentrates give a little. On a full diet a uterus translate to the 3-5th day. In 1-1,5 hours after the uterus will feed a lamb, it should give cool water. Podsosnym a uterus should put salt-lizunets in feeding troughs. It is necessary to watch and a condition of an udder of a uterus. At an incomplete vysasyvaniye lambs of milk it is necessary to milk a uterus 1-2 times a day and to use this milk for a podkarmlivaniye of lambs lagging behind in growth.
Cultivation of lambs to an otbivka
In the first month of a suction the need of lambs for nutrients is satisfied mainly at the expense of milk of mother. Therefore it is very important to provide high dairy efficiency of a uterus during this period. 5 kg of parent milk are on the average spent for each kg of a gain of weight of a lamb. For receiving daily average prirostov 250-300 g to 2-2,5 months the molochnost of a uterus should make 1,2-1,5 l per day. Eventually it decreases, and the need of lambs in nutritious veshhestvaxs increases in every afternoon. Therefore with 2 – 3-week age young growth accustom to eating of concentrates, hay and juicy forages. The best concentrated forage for lambs are oats, and from juicy forages – the crushed root crops. They can give good oblistvenny hay in plenty. It is expedient to accustom lambs and to eating of a vetochny forage. Depending on age, local conditions and the efficiency direction for young growth during the podsosny period it is possible to recommend different top dressing.
For vygula and feedings in the open air at koshare fence off a vygulny court yard – bases which have whenever possible from South side koshary. On each adult sheep provide not less than 5 sq.m of the area. In base establish the group combined feeding troughs on 18-20 the heads everyone. Such feeding troughs are simple, easy, convenient in operation. In them it is possible to feed the rough, juicy, concentrated forages and mineral top dressing. To put in them a forage it is necessary during lack of animals in order to avoid wool pollution. Throughout day to lambs of a uterus start up every 2-3 hour. At this time to a uterus feed hay, a silo, concentrates. In warm weather of an otsarka (office) for lambs arrange in base, on a windless, well warmed site. Advantage of this method consists that, being in base or on a pasture, a uterus quietly eats and lambs them don’t disturb that is positively reflected in a lactation. At the same time lambs left indoors, are accustomed to eating of forages rather and catch a cold less and are ill.
Cultivation of lambs from a mnogoplodny dung
Lambs from a mnogoplodny dung at an insufficient molochnost of mothers, and also remained without mother, place to an obilnomolochny uterus which have one lamb. In order that the uterus wet nurse accepted a lamb, it it is necessary to cover it with slime. It becomes in order that the uterus couldn’t distinguish on a smell of another’s lamb from the. It is possible to sprinkle also it uterus wet nurse milk. In order that uterus to accustom to lambs, them otsazhivayut in a separate cage for 2-3 days. Adopted children are better for placing in the evening or at night when a uterus quieter and badly sees.
For cultivation of lambs, especially from a mnogoplodny dung, it is possible to use cow or goat milk. Daily giving it should be following: at the age from 1 till 7 days – to 200 g; from 8 to 15 days – 300-400 g; from 16 to 20 days – 400-700 g; from 21 to 30 days – 700-900 g. For the first 5-7 days to lambs vipaivayut warmed up to 30°S milk every 2-3 hour, then gradually feeding lead up to three times a day.
Scrap of tails and castration
To all lambs of tonkorunny and polutonkorunny breeds at the age of 5-7 days cut off tails as the long tail at these sheep strongly becomes soiled manure (at a uterus and urine) and not only spoils wool of a back part of a trunk, but also is an infection source at the time of delivery and a milk sosaniye lambs. Besides, wool on a tail contains a lot of awn which, getting to a fleece during a hairstyle, strongly reduces its quality. A tail scrap – simple process. As a rule, one person holds a lamb by feet, and another – the sharp disinfected knife on border of the 3rd and 4th vertebras will see off to a scrap. After operation a wound grease with iodine or other disinfectant.
At the age of 2-3 weeks castrate the baranchik unsuitable for the breeding purposes. Castration carry out in order that with age they were quiet and it is better nagulivalis. The castrated baranchik call valuxami.
Otbivka of lambs.
Lambs from a uterus beat off, as a rule, in 3 – 4-month’s age. Baranchikov and valushkov after an otbivka place separately from a uterus, and yarochek only for 10-15 days isolate from a uterus then they can be held again together. Valushkov put on otkorm (nagul) and at the age of 7-9 months realize on meat. Lambs should give juicy forages (a grass, root crops) and to feed up concentrates. To give to drink to them not less than 2-3 times a day are necessary. In the first 10-15 days after an otbivka of lambs it is possible to graze together with a uterus which serve as leaders. In cold weather of lambs it is better vypasat near to koshary that in case of need they could be tired out quickly in rooms. A uterus after an otbivka of lambs should give more dry feeds (hay) for 5-7 days and to give to drink water once a day. It promotes faster termination of a lactation, preparation for sluchny campaign.
