Abstract
Keywords: Sheep; mortality; morbidity; young lambs; colostrum; survey study EN Sheep mortality morbidity young lambs colostrum survey study INTRODUCTION One of the serious problems that affect the sheep industry in Kuwait is the high mortality rate of newborn lambs. In addition, lambs feeding on high quality colostrum helped these lambs to have more chances for survival, since colostrum is the only source for antibodies and nutrition for newborn lambs. Mastitis in ewes was reported to reduce serum Igs in ewes and consequently, in the colostrum (Chirstley et al., 2003; Lascelles, 1979); ewes in the present study were free of mastitis.
