If you are not willing to do this, you may lose more. Be careful!
4. The reminder for raising sheep in winter:
(1) The temperature in winter is low, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. It is the season of high incidence of various animal diseases.
(2) According to the immunization procedures and technical requirements, immunization injections for foot-and-mouth disease, infectious pleuropneumothorax, goat pox and other diseases must be prepared in advance, and the prevention of multiple winter diseases must be prepared in advance to improve the immunity of sheep and establish effective Immune barrier to ensure the health of the sheep.
