Four points for bathing sheep

The advantage of taking sheep only after shearing the hair and using a certain concentration of medicinal liquid to make a medicinal bath is an effective way to prevent and treat ectoparasites (especially sheep). In order to ensure its effectiveness, four major requirements are put forward for specific operations.

1. Medicinal bath tools can be flexible. Large-scale sheep farms generally have medicinal bath facilities, and small sheep farms or villages with relatively scattered sheep can build small medicine baths. Each can have 2 to 3 medicinal baths at a time. Sporadic Yangyang households can use large-mouth water pots or water. The cylinder serves as a medicine bath container, and the goat is put into the medicine bath one by one.

2. The drugs used must be safe and reliable. Commonly used drugs used to have scrofula, deltamethrin, amitraz, etc., but with the implementation of environmental protection regulations, there are now new drugs recommended by the country, so it should go to the regular veterinary drug stores to buy. Paying attention to safety, low toxicity, high curative effect, and long effective period, the basic principles of not contaminating the environment and safety of the sheep.

3. Ensure that the sheep body medicine bath is in place. Regardless of the kind of medicine bath container, it is necessary to put a 70-80 cm deep liquid in the container so as to submerge the whole body of the sheep. When using the medicine bath, the sheep are rushed into the pool from the entrance of the pool, walk forward through the medicine pool (6-8 meters in length), and apply a hook to press the sheep's head into the liquid for 1 or 2 times. Allow the whole body of the sheep to contact the liquid. In the pot, four people should lift the four limbs of the sheep, put the sheep into the pot, then catch the sheep's mouth and nose, and instantaneously press the liquid into the liquid to achieve the purpose of the systemic medicine bath. Then put the sheep on the prepared platform (the medicine bath is equipped with a dripping table) to allow the liquid to flow back and reduce waste. The temperature of the medicated bath should be around 40°C. The full medicated bath should be done on a sunny morning.

4. Specific details are methodical

(1) Generally, one week after the shearing, a medicinal bath is used. The premature medicinal bath will affect the recovery of the broken wound, and the hair is short. The residual time of the liquid medicine is short and the soaking is insufficient. Late medicine bath, hair has long, liquid difficult to penetrate into the skin layer. According to the growth law of locusts, after the first medicine bath, the second medicine bath is performed every 7 to 10 days, and the effect is better.

(2) Feeding is stopped 8 hours before the medicinal bath, and 2 to 3 hours before bathing, the goat is given enough water to avoid swallowing the liquid after entering the pool (pot).

(3) The health bath should be washed first in the medicine bath, and then the sheep with the warts should be washed; the ewes who have been pregnant for more than two months should not be given a medicinal bath; if there are warts, it should be carefully rubbed with the liquid in some areas.

(4) After the medicinal bath (ie the afternoon of the same day), observe whether there are toxic reactions in the flock. Do not allow the sheep to enter the pasture immediately after the medicine bath to prevent the medicine from dripping and contaminating the pasture. It is also not advisable to enter the sheds. It should be air-dried (free from sunlight) at the sports ground. After the body's medicinal bath is dry, it can be normally fed or grazing.

(5) Shepherds must also take a medicinal bath. The method is the same as above.

(6) The drug dose and concentration should be accurately grasped according to the instructions when the medicine bath is used. Staff should bring masks and rubber gloves to prepare a pot of clean water and towels. When the liquid splashes into the eyes, it should be cleaned to ensure safety.
