Quick treatment for sheep ulcers

Canker sore is a disease caused by canker sore virus, an acute infectious disease that often occurs in spring and autumn. It is mainly caused by contact infection, and is manifested by drooling, corners of the mouth, and swelling around the mouth. In addition to medication, you should also pay attention to the feed. To do a good job of disinfection, let us learn about this aspect below.

symptom

At the beginning of the disease, the sheep will drool, and later there will be swelling around the corners of the mouth, and even the entire head will swell and expand, making it impossible for the sheep to open their mouths to chew grass and making chewing difficult. The infection rate in sheep is low, reaching about 30%, and it mainly infects adult sheep. The lesions are mainly located in the hooves, with only slight lameness in goats. After infection, goats first develop soybean-like papules around the lips, which then turn into blisters and pustules. After the pustules rupture, scabs form, forming a dark brown mulberry-like crust around the entire mouth. Some ulcers may extend to the upper nose and eyes.

prevention

1. Strengthen feeding management, provide lambs with soft bedding and fine grass, and pick out bedding and fodder with sharp thorns as much as possible; place mineral salts and high-quality alfalfa in the lamb pen and let the lambs lick them by themselves to reduce gnawing on the soil and walls and protect the skin and mucous membranes from damage.

2. Lambs should be vaccinated against sheep canker sores at 16 to 18 days of age, and then immunized every 6 months. Injecting sheep pox vaccine once in spring and autumn can also effectively prevent the occurrence of sheep oral ulcers.

treat

Plan 1: Applicable time: Newly introduced fattening sheep and breeding sheep should be injected with sheeppox in time to purify the virus in the body, with a protection rate of 98%. Recommended reason: Sheep introduced after long-distance transportation can be prevented from bringing viruses from epidemic areas on the one hand, and from being infected with the disease due to reduced immunity caused by long-distance transportation stress on the other hand.

Option 2: Applicable time: Small red spots appear on the nose, around the eyes, lips, outside the vulva, and nipples, and quickly form hard round papules with a diameter of 3-5 mm. The blisters will turn into pustules after 2-5 days, and the body temperature will rise again. Some sick sheep may also have lameness, blindness, coughing, diarrhea, etc.

Recommended plan: Use Sheeppox One-shot Ling in the early and middle stages of the disease, each bottle weighing 200 kilograms, together with Green Health Pioneer for emergency treatment, once a day for 2 days. In the middle and late stages of the disease, use Sheeppox One-Shot Ling, each bottle weighing 200 kilograms, together with Green Health Pioneer for emergency treatment, once a day for 3 consecutive days. Note: If there are ulcers around the mouth and on the hairless skin, clean them with iodine disinfectant first, then melt Bingpeng Powder and spray it on the ulcers. The ulcers will scab over in 2-3 days. Reason for recommendation: The use of sheep homologous refined serum antibodies can neutralize the sheeppox and sheep sore virus in the body, improve the body's immunity, and can be used for emergency prevention and emergency treatment.
