Enterotoxemia (Overeating Pulsed Kidney Enterotoxemia) in Sheep
This disease occurs when undigested feed (concentrated feed) enters the intestines, along with anaerobic Clostridium bacteria. The bacteria multiply and release toxins, leading to the animal’s death. Fattening lambs or lambs grazing on good pasture are commonly affected, especially if they are in the pre-weaning stage. The primary cause is believed to be the presence of microbes in the digestive system of the infected animal. Excessive grain consumption is a contributing factor. The disease typically affects large, rapidly growing lambs. Symptoms include loss of appetite, general malaise, diarrhea or vomiting, cramps, and loss of balance, leading to collapse and rapid death. The kidneys of deceased animals are often fragile, congested, and filled with a gelatinous mass, with fluid surrounding the heart. A vaccine is available for young lambs to develop resistance to the bacteria causing the disease. It is essential to feed lambs hay in addition to concentrated feed. When fattening lambs, it is recommended to gradually introduce concentrated feed and grains. Regular monitoring of feed troughs is essential, as leaving concentrated feed in the troughs can lead to some lambs consuming more than their needs. Ensure that the allocated feed trough space is sufficient for all lambs to consume their designated portion. Rumen impact affects adult animals that consume excessive amounts of grain followed by drinking water. This leads to fermentation and acidity, causing the rumen to enlarge and compress internal organs. In such cases, the affected animal should be given oil to facilitate the passage of the ingested feed, along with acid-neutralizing agents.
