Study of lower productivity in the suckling and weaner age group of Marwari sheep due to mortality (Weight losses)

Abstract

The assessment of financial damages resulting from disease in Marwari sheep in arid zones had been examined by the utilisation of data (relating to Marwari, 3164) obtained from CSWRI, ARC, Bikaner over a period of eight years (2004). Morbidity from the disorders mentioned was the subject of the study. The age groups under study were birth to three (suckling age) and three to six (weaning age). Here, the diseases listed at the Central Sheep and Wool Research Institute in Bikaner are categorised according to systemic diseases. It's important to note that mortality rates can be influenced by various factors, including nutrition, housing conditions, disease control, and the overall health management of the flock. Therefore, implementing effective management practices and investing in the health and well-being of the animals can help mitigate economic losses.
