💉 🐑 **Pre-Tupping Bloods** 🐑 💉

With the prolonged dry weather this summer and forage shortages potentially compromising trace element intakes, we advise sheep farmers to blood sample their ewes and rams prior to tupping this autumn. The common trace element deficiencies that can affect breeding/fertility include:

🟠 Copper ( shortages can lead to swayback)
🔵 Cobolt ( shortage can lead to weak lambs)
⚪️ Selenium ( shortages is ewes can lead to white muscle disease in lambs)
🟢 Iodine ( shortages can cause abortion, and poor libido in rams)

Please contact the practice (01777 703663) if you wish to know more about Trace element’s, and available services we can offer this autumn.
