When we raise sheep, we often encounter the problem of poor postpartum appetite of ewes, which not only affects the nutritional intake of ewes, but also may have long-term effects on their health. Below, we will discuss in detail the causes of poor appetite after giving birth in ewes and countermeasures.
1. Postpartum weakness and nutritional deficiencies
Ewes consume a lot of physical strength and nutrients during the farrowing process, which leads to a weak body after giving birth, and the appetite will naturally decrease. This is a common physiological phenomenon after giving birth, and we need to help ewes recover as soon as possible through reasonable feeding management.
After the ewe gives birth, we can add the animal herd to its drinking water: open the food Taibao, which can not only supplement nutrition to the ewe, promote the recovery of the ewe's body, but more importantly, can help the ewe restore their appetite and increase the ewe's appetite very well.
2. Digestive problems
Ewes may experience digestive problems after giving birth, such as indigestion, gastrointestinal diseases, etc. These problems can cause the ewes to lose their appetite and even have symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.
Ewes should strengthen their stomach in time after giving birth, and they can be added to the feed of ewes: Angastropics, which can strengthen the stomach and promote rumination, improve the digestion and absorption capacity of ewes, and also improve the appetite of ewes.
3. Improper feeding management
Improper feeding management is also one of the important reasons for poor postpartum appetite of ewes. If the feed quality is poor, the drinking water is not enough, or the feeding environment is poor, it will affect the appetite of the ewes. For example, a lack of essential nutrients in the feed, or an unclean water source, can cause the ewes to be reluctant to eat. Therefore, we need to strengthen feeding management, improve feed quality, ensure clean water sources, and provide a good feeding environment for ewes.
4. Postpartum diseases
Ewes may suffer from some diseases after giving birth, such as metritis, mastitis, etc. These diseases not only affect the ewe's appetite but can also have long-term effects on their health. In order to prevent and treat these diseases, we need to conduct a physical examination of the ewes in time and deal with the abnormalities in time. At the same time, strengthening feeding management and improving the immunity of ewes are also important measures to prevent diseases.
5. Physiological and endocrine changes
Ewes experience a period of stress after farrowing, with changes in the body's endocrine and physiological functions, which may also lead to loss of appetite. In this case, we need to give the ewes enough rest time to reduce their stress response and help them gradually adapt to postpartum life.
In short, poor appetite in ewes after giving birth is a problem that needs our attention. Through reasonable feeding management and coping measures, we can help ewes recover their appetite and health as soon as possible, and solve the problem of poor appetite after giving birth to ewes.
