Lactating ewes cannot feed more concentrates

There are two main reasons why lactating ewes can not feed more concentrates: First, the ewes are shortly after delivery, especially in the 2-3 days after delivery, the spleen and stomach are weak, and the digestive function is reduced. The concentrate is different from the pasture. For sheep, it is a kind of feed that is difficult to digest. Once it is fed more, especially for the thin individual, it is prone to indigestion when the concentrate has not been fed for a long time. And even cause digestive diseases.

Second, if the ewes' prenatal sensation is already very good, and there is a phenomenon of edema under the abdomen or severe swelling of the breast, feeding more concentrate will not only increase the cost of feeding, but also exacerbate its edema or breast swelling due to overnutrition. Symptoms even cause breast disease. In order to promote the physical recovery of the ewes and conducive to the secretion of milk, it is necessary to feed more green, juicy, easily digestible and certain dumping feeds, such as fresh grass, bran or carrots and other root tubers.
