Solution name: Respiratory issues of lambs

Aim: Reduce of lamb mortality and permanent damage of lungs

Description:

• One of most common problems of indoor fattening lambs with sudden high temperature, hard breathing and drooling is respiratory pasteurellosis.

  It can be fatal in the course of a day, so shepherd must keep his eyes on lambs.  Several predisposing factor can increase this issue, such as crowdedness, high concentration of ammonium , lack of colostrum etc.

  Fortunately if we can notice sick lamb in time,  it can be healed completely with parenteral antibiotic  and demulcent treatment.

• This issue also can appear in replacement flocks, when they are taken out to pasture and get sudden worm burden. It is the same situation when a wet weather follows a long dry weather period.  Lungworms multiply and keep lung bronchi in inflammation.  Farmer must apply antibiotic and anthelmintic treatment at the same time in this case.
