83. Control Of Internal Parasites In Sheep Things to keep in mind when developing an effective parasite control program. (Virginia) http://www.ext.vt.edu/news/periodicals/livestock/aps-98_05/aps-913.html

Control of Internal Parasites in Sheep Livestock Update, May 1998 Scott P. Greiner, Extension Animal Scientist, Virginia Tech Internal parasites may cause serious economic losses for sheep producers if an effective parasite control program is not implemented. Parasitic infestation can result in decreased production of ewes and lambs on pasture through reduced milk production and poor weight gains, and even death may occur in extreme cases. The two most significant parasites impacting sheep in Virginia are the barber pole worm and the brown stomach worm. These worms thrive under warm and moist conditions of late spring and summer, which emphasizes the importance of an effective parasite control program as sheep go to pasture. Following are a few things to keep in mind for this year's deworming program: Pasture-lambing ewes should be dewormed two weeks prior to lambing. Egg numbers increase significantly in ewes just before and after lambing. Due to the life cycle of the worms, this means that larvae increases around the same time lambs start grazing. If deworming is not done prior to lambing, treatment should be done at lambing and the ewes and lambs moved to clean pasture if available. Use pasture management to enhance the effectiveness of a deworming program. The practice of "dose and move" can reduce the dependence on anthelmentic drugs to prevent and treat parasites by reducing the number of parasites sheep are exposed to. Using the dose and move technique, sheep are moved to a clean pasture after treatment. A clean pasture may be one that has been harvested for hay, previously grazed by cattle, or been without sheep for a year. A clean pasture does not ensure that infective larvae are not present, but has infectivity low enough that susceptible sheep do not become infected rapidly.

84. Livestock Guard Dogs, Llamas And Donkeys Introduce it to equipment, machinery, other livestock (horses, cattle, chickens),and herding dog(s) so later it will not guard the sheep from them. http://www.ext.colostate.edu/PUBS/LIVESTK/01218.html

You are here: Home Livestock Online Fact Sheets no. 1.218 Livestock Guard Dogs, Llamas and Donkeys by W.F. Andelt Quick Facts... Guard dogs are an effective method to reduce predation on livestock. Guard llamas and donkeys also appear to reduce losses but appear less effective than guard dogs. Guard dogs can be used in farm flock/pasture operations, on open range, and in feedlots. Llamas and donkeys are most effective in fenced pastures less than 300 acres. Raise guard dogs with sheep and treat them as working dogs. Introduce llamas and donkeys to sheep in small pens. Livestock Guard Dogs Guard dogs can be used effectively to protect sheep from predation by coyotes ( Canis latrans ), dogs, black bears ( Ursus americanus ), and mountain lions ( Felis concolor ). They can be used to protect small or large flocks in fenced pastures, on open range and in feedlots. Characteristics Most guard dogs are large and imposing, weigh 75 to over 100 pounds and stand 25 inches or more at the shoulder. Most have long white hair, although some are brown or gray. Guard dogs do not herd or chase sheep. They work independently of a shepherd and can be left unattended with a flock. Their normal behavior is calm and placid; most spend much of their time dozing or walking with their flocks. However, all breeds are wary of intruders, and fierce and fearless when provoked.

87. Controlling Leafy Spurge Using Goats And Sheep sheep and goats can be effective tools to complement herbicides for control of leafy spurge. In addition, their control efforts can generate an economic return from land that other livestock won't graze. http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/plantsci/hay/r1093w.htm

Other Sources of Information on Leafy Spurge Control Goats and sheep have long been used for weed control. Their use has increased in recent years because of the need for biological control agents in environmentally sensitive areas. Sheep mostly graze forbs (flowering plants) while goats generally consume shrubs. Sheep and goats became popular biological control agents to control leafy spurge in the northern Great Plains region in the mid 1980s and the 1990s. Ironically, sheep were proven to be effective for controlling leafy spurge in the 1930s while goats were first used in the 1980s. Leafy spurge ( Euphorbia esula L.) is a herbaceous, deep-rooted, perennial, noxious weed, introduced into North America from Eurasia and currently foundin 26 states and six Canadian provinces. The weed is extremely persistent and competitive, and is primarily found on non-tilled areas.

89. Livestock Guardian Dog Fact Sheet of Agriculture Overview livestock guarding breeds originated in Europe and Asia,where they have been used for centuries to protect sheep from wolves and bears http://www.lgd.org/usdafacts.html

LIVESTOCK GUARDING DOG FACT SHEET Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service U.S. Department of Agriculture Overview Livestock guarding breeds originated in Europe and Asia, where they have been used for centuries to protect sheep from wolves and bears Americans have used guarding dogs since the mid-1970's. They are large animals (80-120 pounds) and are usually all white or fawn colored with dark muzles. Some of the more common breeds are Great Pyrenees (France), Komondor (Hungary), Akbash dog and Anatolian Shepherd (Turkey), and Maremma (Italy). Pyrenees and Akbash dogs are among the more successful breeds. Unlike herding dogs, guarding dogs do not usually herd sheep. Acting independently of humans, guarding dogs stay with or near sheep most of the time and aggressively repel predators. Genetics and proper rearing both contribute to the makeup of a successful guarding dog. Some guarding dogs do not adequately carry out their protective role. Failures can generally be attributed to improper rearing or acquiring the dog after it is too old for training. However, some dogs don't work well despite having been reared properly. Research and surveys indicate that about three- fourths of trained dogs become good guardians. Knowing what a good guarding dog is and how to raise one correctly can help producers be sure they get the best possible service from their dogs Key Points in Successfully Rearing a Guarding Dog Select a suitable breed and reputable breeder. Rear pups singly from 8 weeks of age with sheep, minimizing human contact (probably the most critical ingredient for success ).

John Martin - Veterinary Scientist, Sheep, Goat and Swine/OMAF Creation Date: 1 June 1999 Last Reviewed: 1 June 1999 There are not different strains of one bacteria causing this disease, but two different bacteria causing almost identical symptoms in rams. In western Canada the principle bacteria implicated are Brucella ovis and Actinobacillus seminis . In Ontario there have been very few isolations of B. ovis , but epididymitis is still a problem. In this province the bacteria thought to be the cause is Actinobacillus seminis . However, the result is the same, a chronic infection of the epididymis and testes with lowered fertility of the ram. There is no treatment for these conditions. Ram management is important. Young rams should be run separate to older rams, and wherever possible only used to breed first lamb ewes. In some countries vaccines are used to protect against

John Martin - Veterinary Scientist, Sheep, Goat and Swine/OMAF Creation Date: 1 June 1999 Last Reviewed: 1 June 1999 To deal with the cause first. Like many conditions we see in sheep, pizzle rot is the result of an interaction between a bacteria and some other factor. The bacteria is Corynebacterium renale or one of that group. These bacteria have the ability to break urea down using an enzyme, urease. The other factor is an increase in the protein level of the diet, quite common in the month before breeding to improve the condition of the rams. Once the protein in the diet from all sources rises above 16%, urine can contain more than 4% urea. This excess urea makes the urine alkaline. The bacterial urease breaks down the urea to release excess ammonia. It is this ammonia that causes a severe irritation and ulceration of the skin around the preputial opening. Once the skin is ulcerated, C. renale
