  1. Management problem Over feeding roughage Large bales Obese ewes Short tail docking Respiratory Vaginal Prolapse

  2. Starvation Poor ewe condition Weak ewe or lamb Plugged teats Mastitis Mis-mothering Poor suckling Causes of Death

  3. Symptoms of dystocia yellow fleece causes - Fat ewes, Poor hybrid vigor, large BW Was it truly born dead? Stillborns -infectious -hypoxia (observation) Stillbirths/dystocia

  4. Condition score Observation Intercom, video camera Feed antibiotics Vaccinate against campylobacter and chlamydia BoSe ?????? Assist after 30 minutes in labor Selection Solutions

  5. Causes poor air quality too many sheep wet bedding Pneumonia

  6. 20 ft.2 for ewes with lambs Sulfa water treatment Improve ventilation Open up barn Use more bedding Pre-lambing shearing Solution

  7. 60-65 mg/day 6 weeks prior to lambing Results 65-73%  in lamb losses University of Wyoming S.D. State University Antibiotics Feeding

  8. Wet bedding Stress Inadequate colostrum Intestinal Disorders - Causes

  9. 1 - Colostrum intake minimum 2 ounces/8 pounds ideal 10% of BW first 24 hrs. 2 - Clip - Dip - Strip castrate and dock early 3 - Lambing Jugs 4 x 6, 5 x 5 S 24 hr, Tw 48 hr, Tr 72 hr 4 - Observe often 5 - Check for inverted eyelids Newborn Management

  10. Early weaning 60 days or less Dry up ewes prior to weaning Reduce protein Reduce energy Remove water ? Mastitis Management

  11. Prevention/treatment Induce lambing Harness Prolapse spoon Suture Reduce roughage Condition score ewes Cull Vaginal Prolapse

  12. Contagious ecthyma or Orf zoonotic disease a pox virus nuisance disease wide spread through out industry vaccinate away concerns Infectious diseasesSoremouth

  13. Parasite Symptoms diarrhea attacks intestinal lining bloody unthrifty long term poor doers Coccidiosis

  14. Management problem Clean water Clean feeders Environmental contamination Lambs 4-10 weeks of age weaning stress increases risk Coccidiosis

  15. Preventatives Bovatec Deccox Individual treatments Problem adequate intake via creep Treat environment Coccidiosis

  16. Causes: white muscle disease coccidiosis pneumonia trauma enterotoxemia Sudden death

  17. Slow virus, retrovirus 10% of infected show symptoms hard bad, minimal milk flow arthritis in rams wasting, thin ewes method of transfer colostrum intake aerosol caprine arthritis encephalitis (CAE) Ovine Progressive PneumoniaOPP

  18. Treatment None Becoming OPP free Blood test AGID, very specific & low sensitivity ELISA, very sensitive but less specific delayed sero-conversion Orphan rearing and two site production OPP

  19. OPP free flocks do exist OPP Free Sheep Breeders Society Precautions: Multiple negative tests Colostrum sources Tubing lambs OPP

  20. Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis cheesy abscesses along the lymph system maybe internal or external unthrifty to no affect leading cause of chronic wasting carcass condemnation > 25% of all ewe and ram carcasses Caseous lymphadenitis

  21. Treatment none Management Oral or external exposure Minimize wounds Shearing order Vaccination CaseBac Caseous lymphadenitis

  22. Ram lambs Hot rations Responds to LA 200 Temporary infertility Epididymitis

  23. Mature rams Cause Brucella Ovis ELISA test large operations large ram groups permanent reduced fertility Epididymitis

  24. Zoonotic disease http://www.ianr.unl.edu/pubs/animaldisease/g1075.htm show lamb industry similar to ringworm Club Lamb Fungus
