yo-hi WE of th* human spec!** aren’t the only ones who suffer the consequences of overeating. Overeating, or rather a disease which is believed caused by overeating, is a big problem to sheep raisers who sometimes see their fattest and best lambs die. The disease is not contagious. Specialists think that it is caused by too much concentrate in the sheep’* ration. This aids the growth of certain bacteria present in most lambs’ digestive systems, producing a poison that eventually may be fatal t?— some of the animals. Normally r problem, the bacteria cause troub when they begin to multiply. Recently vaccination has becon a popular method of combatir overeating disease. Th* cost oa vaccinating 100 lambs is about the same as the pric* of two feeder; lambs. Therefore, if vaccinating your flock saves two animals, th* treatment has cost you x -*hing. Remember, however, though vaccination is good ance against losse* in your flock, it can’t take the place of good management. It won’t prevent intestinal worms, nor will it take th* plac* of a good, sound ration. You can avoid overrating di**as* by letting the lamb* have aU the good-quafity roughage they Let them te«d on leflum* or k««p a teed rack w*ll filled fa th* corn field where th* lamb* arw grazing. You’ll notic* that <rft*a th* fattest lamb* ar* by th* dis*a»* - they hav* no trouble i »maU*r animalsawaj : bunk. Sorting Targ* flock* ter »tee may prevent *om* loeeea.
