How to reduce the probability of epidemic disease in the process of raising sheep?

With the large-scale intensive development of sheep industry, in the process of raising sheep, the most feared situation for shepherds is epidemic infection. Because the epidemic may not only kill one sheep, but all the sheep in the whole flock. The spread rate of epidemic disease is very high, and the mortality rate is also very high. Once the disease is raised, the probability of survival is very low. So how to reduce the probability of an epidemic? Let's explore a solution.

First, a strict quarantine system is implemented, because for sheep farmers, the number of sheep is not fixed, and new sheep breeds will be introduced from time to time. However, before the introduction of sheep breeds, strict quarantine system should be implemented to ensure the health of sheep before introduction. Like the epidemic situation in COVID-19 today, when introducing new breeds, it is necessary to isolate the sheep, systematically observe whether there is the probability of epidemic disease during the isolation period, and carry out blood group testing on the sheep to see if there is a hidden virus. If sheep are found to have epidemic diseases, it is necessary to deal with their nests, and the sheep in the flock should also be vaccinated at ordinary times to improve their resistance. Immunization is an important method to prevent and treat infectious diseases. When you are vaccinated, you should have a certain understanding of the epidemic diseases in this area and know what vaccine sheep should be vaccinated.

Second, when strengthening isolation and raising sheep, the sheep society was built in a place with dry terrain and sunny ventilation. The farm should set up a fence or a disinfection pool at the gate of the protective fence to disinfect the personnel entering the sheepfold, and prohibit non-breeders from entering the sheepfold to prevent cross-infection. After leaving the sheepfold in the last growth cycle, the sheepfold should be left empty for more than two weeks, and cleaned, disinfected and eliminated to prevent cross-infection of sheep. When feeding the sheep, the breeder should feed the sheep in different sheepfolds, and the feeding tools should not be mixed. Strictly disinfect the people who enter the sheepfold, and regularly check the diseases of the breeders to ensure the health of the breeders.

Third, pay attention to the disinfection of sheepfolds. When raising sheep, the sheepfold should be disinfected regularly, and the internal and external environment of the sheepfold should be cleaned and disinfected all the time. Disinfection is an important link to prevent the occurrence of epidemic diseases, and it should not be taken lightly. Disinfectant should ensure that its channels are regular and its efficacy can be played normally. The grass eaten by sheep should also be strictly screened. In many cases, where the grass grows, the soil has been polluted, and the grass grows with certain viruses. Therefore, when selecting pasture, it is necessary to carry out certain sampling tests to prevent the pasture from carrying germs to infect sheep. Sheep manure should also be disinfected. Sheep feces usually carry some bacteria and even viruses. In order to prevent transmission, bio-thermal disinfection should be used to pile up feces and cover them with thick sand for fermentation. In this way, the virus can evaporate and the feces can be used as waste.

The epidemic prevention of sheep is a very important link. For the health of sheep, breeders must not take it lightly. The epidemic prevention of sheep diseases should adhere to the principle of combining prevention with treatment to ensure the health of sheep.
