Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Mortality pattern in Madras Red sheep was studied for the period from 1995 to 2005. The overall mortality rate was 4.96% and it ranged between 2.85 and 10.59%. The pre and post weaning mortality was 27.89 and 72.11%, respectively. The mortality rate was higher in adult (50.26%) than the weaners (23.56%), lambs (13.87%) and hoggets (12.30%). Maximum mortality was observed during summer season (45.55%) followed by winter (37.43%), the northeast monsoon (10.47%) and the southwest monsoon (6.54%). Alimentary system disorder (30.10%) was the major cause of death in sheep followed by respiratory system disorders (21.99%).
