<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arab Weather - The Directorate of Agriculture in Mafraq called on livestock owners to take the necessary precautions to protect newborns from death due to low temperatures and exposure of newborns to the cold due to sheltering sheep in pens not equipped with nurseries to protect the infant.<br /> The director of Mafraq Agriculture, Dr. Imad Al-Ayasrah, said that exposure of newborns to the cold causes the loss of energy from the body of the suckling animal, which weakens the animal&#39;s immune system and its resistance to diseases, and the animal&#39;s body is exposed to many diseases resulting from low body temperature, which causes its death due to infection with pneumonia. .<br /> He called on the livestock breeder to shelter the newborns in a special nursery, to provide a source of heat in the nursery, to maintain the dryness of the floor and to avoid the accumulation of dung in it by closing the openings that enter rainwater or others into the nursery, in addition to maintaining good ventilation inside the nursery so that harmful gases do not accumulate. Newborns are susceptible to pneumonia due to the high level of methane gas produced from manure and to avoid high condensation in the roof of the farm.<br /> He indicated the need to help feeding newborns that show symptoms of cold or general weakness, giving newborns liquid vitamins, and avoiding the birth of mothers of sheep in open barns.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h4 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Petra News Agency</h4>
