Sheep and Goat Foot Rot Treatment  :
Uploading: 2243405 of 2243405 bytes uploaded.

  •  (10 mg/kg, intramuscular) is widely recommended as the most effective treatment, often leading to recovery within a few days.

  • Some practitioners report better results with tilmicosin for advanced lesions, but its routine use is debated due to concerns about antimicrobial resistance.

  •  (e.g., oxytetracycline spray) are also applied directly to cleaned lesions for additional effect.

  •  (10–15% solution) is the preferred footbath agent, with sheep standing in the bath for at least 10 minutes every 7–10 days.

  •  (2–5%) and copper sulfate (5%) are alternatives, but formalin is harsh and potentially hazardous to handlers.

  • Footbaths should be at least 6 cm deep, and sheep should be allowed to dry in a clean area afterward.

  • Footbathing is most effective as part of a regular schedule and when combined with other treatments.

Here is an expanded and detailed list of recommendations for sheep farmers in India, especially those managing breeds like Nellore, Deccani, or other local types. These tips will help improve disease prevention, lamb survival, and overall flock productivity.


Recommendations for Sheep Farmers (India)

๐Ÿ“ Management Area๐Ÿ“Œ Best Practices
๐Ÿ“’ Health Record KeepingMaintain a Health Register with details of illness, vaccination, deworming, and treatment history for each sheep. Use ear tag numbers for tracking.
๐Ÿฉธ Parasite MonitoringUse FAMACHA chart regularly (every 2 weeks) to detect anemia due to worm load. Helps in targeted deworming.
๐Ÿ’Š Emergency Medicine KitStock essential medicines:
– Electrolytes
– Antipyretics (Paracetamol)
– Antibiotics (Oxytetracycline, Penicillin)
– Dewormers
– Anti-bloat liquid (e.g. Simethicone + Activated Charcoal)
๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍⚕️ Staff TrainingTrain workers in basic first aid, how to detect early signs of illness (e.g. lameness, diarrhea, coughing), and how to give injections/oral meds.
๐Ÿ’‰ Vaccination CalendarFollow the seasonal vaccination schedule (PPR, ET, HS, Anthrax, Sheep Pox). Stick reminders in shed.
๐ŸŒพ Nutrition & FeedProvide balanced feed:
– Protein (e.g. Hedge Lucerne)
– Energy (e.g. CO-4 Napier, molasses)
– Minerals (mineral mix + salt lick)
– Probiotics for gut health
๐Ÿฅ› Colostrum ManagementEnsure lambs receive colostrum within 1–6 hours after birth. Essential for immunity and survival.
๐Ÿงซ Deworming ProgramDeworm lambs at 1 month, then every 3 months using rotation of different dewormers (Albendazole, Levamisole, Closantel).
๐Ÿ“‰ FEC MonitoringDo Fecal Egg Count (FEC) test every 6 months to check effectiveness of dewormers and avoid resistance.
๐Ÿ›– Shed & HygieneMaintain dry, ventilated shed with raised flooring. Clean manure weekly. Disinfect with lime or bleaching powder.
๐Ÿงด Biosecurity MeasuresIsolate new/sick animals for 15 days. Don’t share tools or feed equipment between flocks. Use footbaths at shed entry.
๐Ÿงฌ Breed SelectionChoose disease-resistant native rams. Avoid inbreeding. Cull chronic sick/non-productive animals.
๐Ÿ‘️ Daily Observation RoutineCheck sheep every morning for:
– Appetite
– Movement
– Coughing
– Diarrhea
– Lameness
– Discharges
๐Ÿชฐ Insect & Pest ControlControl flies, ticks, lice using sprays (Cypermethrin, Deltamethrin). Clean dung pits to avoid fly breeding.
๐ŸŒง️ Weather ProtectionProvide cover during rain and winter. Wet and cold conditions cause pneumonia and foot rot.
๐Ÿšš Transport Stress ManagementAvoid long-distance travel during hot/cold times. Provide water, rest. Give vitamins before/after journey.
๐Ÿงผ Lambing ManagementKeep lambing pen clean. Monitor closely. Use iodine on navel. Separate weak lambs.
๐Ÿงช Routine Lab TestingSend samples to vet lab for blood, fecal, or disease confirmation during outbreaks. Helps in correct treatment.

๐Ÿ“Œ Bonus Tip:

Install a whiteboard inside your shed with:

  • ๐Ÿ—“️ Deworming & vaccine dates

  • ๐Ÿ“Š Lamb growth tracking

  • ๐Ÿšจ Emergency vet numbers
