SHEEP
Homeopathy for New Zealand Sheep farmers
Sheep farming is a big part of New Zealand’s culture, history, and economy, it is one of the best places in the world to raise sheep. Whether you’re a lifestyle block owner with a few animals or running a larger operation, sheep are hardy and rewarding livestock to keep.
They are popular for meat and wool, even though prices can vary. Sheep are also valuable for grazing difficult to reach areas and their dropping are excellent for improving the soil.
Sheep mainly eat grass and It’s important to rotate grazing areas to give grass time to regrow and reduce the risk of parasites. In drier seasons you may need to supplement with hay, silage, or sheep nuts.
It is important to be watching for signs of illness like weight loss, scouring (diarrhea), or coughing.
Keeping sheep healthy requires regular drenching (worm control) but only when needed. Foot care to prevent lameness and Shearing once or twice a year (unless you’ve got a self-shedding breed). Vaccinations to prevent diseases like clostridial infections is also another important step to maintain a healthy animal.
Natural health options, such as herbal drenches, are becoming more popular as people look for low-chemical ways to care for their animals.
Its also worth mentioning that Homeopathy works in conjunction with conventional medicine, to hasten the healing. Homeopathy is easy to administer. Either directly into the mouth, via a syringe, placed onto food supplement or directly into the water trough.
