Weaner illthrift a multifactorial problem

A
78
Q

What is weaner illthrift?

A

* Failure of weaners to grow/thrive when other sheep are doing well

* Increased mortality

* poor wool production

Syndrome in which poorly grown weaner sheep (“tail of the mob”) and/or high mortalities arise– internal parasite, nutritionl, and mgt factors… parasitism, trace element deficiency or flystrike often precipitate deaths

Frequently associated with grazing dry pastures by young sheep in AUS

* Light bodyweight due to poor nutritional mgt and hence growth rate– major predisposing factor for weaner mortality

79
Q
A
80
Q

Extent and importance of weaner illthrift

A
81
Q

Diagnosis/ Recognition of weaner illthrift

A

* < 4% mortality weaning 12 months

* Weigh 45% of mature weight at the end of spring

* Grow > 1-1.5 kg/month over summer

* 75% of mature weight at the end of 2nd summer

* Good history of flock mgt- joining period, worm control practices, history of trace element problems on the farm or in the district

* Regular outbreaks of disease

* “My weaners just don’t do well”

** Check body weight and necropsy….

* History of current problem: time of weaning, pasture grazed before and after weaning (nutritional quality? Worm count?), description of clinical signs, death rates, measured bodyweight and growth rate, supplementary feeding (type, amount, frequency)

* Clin exam and necropsy of affected sheep

** Production targets– realistic

A
98
Q

Safe amount to start feeding grain per day

A

50 g/head/day (cattle x 10)

Double it for a couple of days, double for a couple days more

Increase the quantity and frequency

Q

A
104
Q

Selenium deficiency

A

Treatment

* Injection or drench at 0.1 mg Se/kg BWt (usually Sodium selenite)

Prevention

* Lambs at marking give Clostridial vaccines (have 0.5 mg/ml Se) or sodium drench

* can mix concentrate with anthelmintic drench at weaning

* Selenium containing bullets for sheep > 2 months old

* pre lambing tx of ewes in deficient areas or high clover years

* pasture top dressing with Se containing fertilisers

* Marginal/sub clinical- not clear whether supplementation is worthwhile
