Advices
•
Maintenance of the last 45 days in sheep is very important for lamb development
and maternal health.
• We
must make sure that there is sufficient feeder space in the shelters. The head
of the sheep should be at least 30-40 cm manger.
• It
should be ensured that sheep have free access to clean and potable water.
•
Respectively, at least 1.5 m2 dry litter area should be provided for each
sheep, 1.7 m2 for pregnant and 2.5 m2 dry litter per rootstock for lambs.
• It
is beneficial for our sheep to be housed and fed according to the lambing
periods.
•
Depending on whether our sheep go to pasture or not, it is important for rumen
health to consume at least 1 kg of good quality hay daily.
• It
is beneficial for our twin or more lambs to be housed and fed separately.
•
Respiratory problems will increase as a result of high humidity and
insufficient ventilation in shelters. Especially in winter, excessive and
direct air flow should be avoided. In addition, it should be ensured that the
shelter is sufficiently ventilated.
•
Regular application of internal and external parasites and vaccines is very
important in veterinary control of our sheep
