Sick goats need fresh water - keep water bowls clean.

Imbuzi yayingakaze ihloselwe ukuba yizilwane eziphakanyisiwe. Bakhetha ukuzulazula mahhala, ukhethe izitshalo ezingcono kakhulu zokudla, ngakho ukuvalelwa ngokuvamile kuvame ukuholela ezinkingeni zezempilo ikakhulukazi ezimbuzi zenyama. Izimbuzi ziyakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nezimo kodwa zikwazi ukucindezeleka kalula futhi ngezinye izikhathi ziyeka ngokushesha uma zigula. Izimbuzi ziyizilwane zezinkomo futhi zizonda ukuba yedwa, ngakho-ke imbuzi emele yodwa kufanele ihlolwe ukuze ibone ukuthi yini engalungile.
Imbuzi engakwazi ukubamba ikhanda layo, futhi ayikwazi ukugaya ukudla okuqinile futhi akufanele ibe nobisi obunamandla, okusanhlamvu noma okuphakelayo. Ukudla kuzohlala kungaxhunyiwe futhi lokhu kungacindezela noma kuvimbele ukutakula.
Uma imbuzi ingakwazi ukuma, ihlale iqondile odongeni bese uyigubha uhlangothi olulodwa ukuze uqinisekise ukujikeleza kwegazi nokuthi noma yimiphi imithi isakazwa ngomzimba wayo. Amafutha ayadingeka. Ama-electrolyte ngendlela efomile kufanele ahlinzekwe. Umlimi anganikeza imithi efanele, kepha uma imbuzi idonsa, izofa. Uma imbuzi ilele, qinisekisa ukuthi amanzi asesitsheni esingenalutho njengenja yamanzi yenja.
Izilwane ezigulayo zidinga amanzi, amandla namaprotheni amaningi kunezilwane ezinempilo kodwa banesifiso esincane. Khuthaza isifiso saso ngokudla okuncane, ukugcoba ukudla futhi ukwengeze ama-molasses noma usawoti ukuze wenze kahle. Ukutshala okutsha okuhlaza okwesibhakabhaka namaqabunga amasha kunika umthombo omuhle wamavithamini.
Isilwane esigulayo kufanele sibe nesisindo esincane sokudla okugxilwe kanzima 5 - 6 izikhathi ngosuku bese sidliwa ngokwehlukile kwezinye izilwane ukuvumela ukuba sidle futhi siphumule singaphazanyiswa. Ngokuvamile, izilwane ezigulayo zingadla kancane kancane futhi zidinga isikhathi esiningi sokudla kunezilwane ezinempilo.
Inkinga ngezimbuzi ezikhulile ezigulayo ukuthi i-flora yegulini ingaba ingalingani. Abanye abalimi banikeza i-yoghurt engavuthiwe, ixutshwe nama-oat aqoshiwe noma agcozwe uju, ukuze basize ukulungisa izitshalo zamanzi.

Indlela Yokudla Izingane Ezigulayo

Newborn kids should receive colostrum, either from its mom or in the form of a colostrum replacer.

Izingane ezisanda kuzalwa, ukudla okusheshayo kwe-colostrum (ubisi lokuqala kusuka kumama wayo) kubalulekile ekusindeni kwayo. Uma kungenjalo, izokhipha amanzi ngokushesha futhi afe. Ukuze ulondoloze ingane, umlimi kufanele anikeze amanzi ngendlela efana ne-colostrum evela kumama wayo noma esikhundleni sokuqothula, hhayi umsizi wemibala.
Ukwehlisa amanzi ngokweqile kuyinkinga enkulu yokuhuda emantwaneni wezimbuzi ngakhokeza ukuvuselelwa ngomlomo. Yeka ukondla konke ubisi nobisi esikhundleni futhi ubeke endaweni enenani elilinganayo le-electrolyte fluids. Esimweni esiphuthumayo, yenza umxube we-electrolyte wokuzenzela ngokubilisa ilitha lamanzi bese uxubene nezipuni ezimbili zesiraphu, ½ ithisipuni kasawoti kanye ne-¼ ithisipuni ye-baking soda.
Uyacelwa ukuthi uqaphele: Ulwazi lunikeza izinjongo zemfundo nolwazi kuphela futhi angeke lithathwe njengeseluleko sezokwelapha. Ulwazi aluhloselwe ukufaka iseluleko sezokwelapha noma ukwelashwa okuhlinzekwa ngudokotela wakho wezilwane.
