Precautions and methods for ewes after giving birth

Ewes require special attention and proper care after giving birth to ensure their recovery and the healthy growth of their newborn lambs. The following is a detailed introduction to the precautions and methods after giving birth to ewes:

Initial care after childbirth:

Post-lambing treatment: After the ewe has given birth, the first thing to do is to ensure that the ewe has finished lambing and that the lambs need to be properly cared for. Place newborn lambs independently in a warm, dry and quiet place to encourage them to establish a parent-child relationship with the mother.

Ewe health check: Postpartum ewes need good care to ensure they are in good physical condition. Check whether the ewe has postpartum complications, such as physical discomfort caused by dystocia, etc., to ensure the ewe's health.

Provide water and feed: Ewes need adequate water and feed of high nutritional value after giving birth to aid their recovery and postpartum recovery.

Postpartum care:

Maintain cleanliness: After delivery, ensure that the environment where the lambs rest is clean and tidy to prevent bacterial infection and avoid cross-infection of newborn lambs, and keep the delivery room clean.

Observe the postpartum situation: closely observe the condition of the ewes and newborn lambs, check the postpartum condition and recovery of the ewes, and also pay attention to whether the lambs have enough milk and whether there are other health problems.

Nutritional supplement for ewes: Provide highly nutritious and easily digestible feed to postpartum ewes to ensure that the ewes replenish nutrients lost due to childbirth and lactation.

Pay attention to lactation period:

Ensure that the ewe is breastfeeding: Ensure that the ewe can lactate smoothly, ensure that the newborn lambs receive sufficient milk, or provide artificial feeding in a timely manner.

Regular and proper care: Conduct regular check-ups on ewes and lambs to ensure they are in good physical condition and to ensure the healthy growth of the lambs.

In general, ewes need special care and attention after giving birth, including postpartum care, nutritional supplements, and postpartum health examinations to ensure the recovery of ewes and the healthy growth of newborn lambs. Depending on the circumstances, it may be necessary to seek veterinary assistance to ensure that both the ewe and the newborn lambs receive the best possible care.
