Why Sheep get disease ?

1.Improper feeding and management

Improper feeding and management include improper feeding methods and nutritional collocation, such as excessive density, poor ventilation, water cut, uneven feeding, hunger and fullness, drinking ice ballast and sewage, etc., are all inducements that cause sheep to get sick. In addition, frightened sheep, excessive chasing, and long-distance transportation are also causes of illness in the herd. Unreasonable feed nutrition, lack of vitamins, trace elements, protein, fat, sugar, etc. will also cause corresponding deficiencies. On the contrary, excessive nutrition and excessive trace elements can cause a series of reactions such as poisoning.

2.living environment

The high temperature and humidity of the sheep’s living environment will cause heatstroke in the sheep. The high humidity environment is prone to skin diseases, cold and rheumatism at low temperatures, and foot rot in low-lying and damp terrain. Long-term grazing in low-lying places will cause It can cause parasitic diseases, and the air in the barn is dirty, and the ammonia gas is too large, which can cause respiratory diseases and eye diseases in sheep. Everyone knows that sheep is an animal that loves dryness and dislikes humidity. Compared with other animals, they like to be clean. The living environment of sheep is often dirty by parasites, which will bring many parasitic diseases and dirty environments to the sheep. It is precisely the best environment for parasites to breed and reproduce. Long-distance transportation is also the inducement of sheep disease, which is what we often call the stress response. For people, it is generally said that the water and soil are not acclimatized.

3.Pathogenic microorganisms and parasitic diseases

Bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, spirochetes, fungi and various parasites can infect sheep and cause the epidemic of sheep diseases, such as the most common, sheep pox, foot-and-mouth disease, clostridia, toxoplasmosis, trematodiasis, etc. The sheep industry brings huge losses, and some are devastating blows to a farm. Although some infectious diseases will not cause large-scale deaths to sheep, they will affect the growth of sheep, such as paratuberculosis, pseudotuberculosis, and some chronic infectious diseases, which will cause a lot of unnecessary medical expenses for farmers. Increase investment in breeding costs. Therefore, the prevention of parasitic diseases and the control of infectious diseases are the key to the success or failure of a farm.
