When encountering these sheep, don't hesitate, two words: elimination

In sheep production, often encounter such sheep, these sheep only eat no meat, known as zombie sheep, accounting for about 6% to 10% of the sheep, the existence of these sheep seriously affects the efficiency of sheep production, such sheep should be eliminated as soon as possible, continue to raise will only cause greater losses.

Zombie sheep are generally divided into fetal stiffness, milk stiffness, sick stiffness, insect stiffness, and material stiffness. The causes of the formation of various zombie sheep are different.

1 fetal stiffness

Due to the simple feed of pregnant ewes, the lack of calcium, phosphorus, protein, minerals, vitamins, trace elements and other components, the poor maternal physique leads to the development of the fetus in the ewe; or the breeding age of the ram is too small, or the fetus is born insufficient from inbreeding or inbreeding or inbreeding, small weight, poor vitality, slow growth, and the formation of intraviparous zombie sheep.

2 Breast stiffness

Due to improper management of breastfeeding ewe feeding, ewes are malnourished or suffer from chronic diseases, insufficient milk output or lack of milk, poor milk quality; or produce many lambs, are weak, and feed too late, so that the growth and development of nursing lambs are hindered, forming "milk stiffness".

3 Sick and stiff

Lambs are sick due to diseases such as colds causing pneumonia, coughing and wheezing; lamb dysentery, etc., which cannot be cured for a long time and form zombie sheep.

4 worm zombies

Due to the erosion of parasites in the body, the nutrient consumption of lambs is large, affecting growth and development and forming zombie sheep.

In actual production, it is difficult to know the reason for the formation of zombie sheep, and it is recommended that zombie sheep be directly eliminated. Usually, we should do a good job in the management of sheep, minimize the generation of zombie sheep, do a good job in the management of pregnant sheep and nursing sheep, strengthen nutrition, and pay attention to health care. Timely deworming and epidemic prevention, do a good job in the prevention and treatment of diseases.
