Herdwatch is excited to announce tha1<\/a><\/sup>t you can now\u00a0easily record sheep pregnancy scan results\u00a0<\/strong>in the Herdwatch app with their new feature release! This new feature allows farmers to easily\u00a0track and manage their flocks\u2019 reproductive health\u00a0<\/strong>leading to an improved lambing percentage and better ewe management around lambing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is important to identify which ewes are pregnant, when they are due, and how many lambs they are due. It is also important to identify which ewes are empty. Knowing how many lambs a ewe will have, allows you to group and feed ewes accordingly to ensure they are receiving\u00a0enough nutrients, and to ensure their body condition is optimal for lambing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In order to find this information, you must carry out sheep pregnancy scanning. This is done by simply using an ultrasound scanner to examine if the ewe is in lamb, when she is due, and how many lambs she is bearing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With the new release from Herdwatch, you can now add all your pregnancy scan results right into the Herdwatch app!<\/strong>\u00a0This will help you to easily keep track of any breeding issues, empty ewes, implement a feeding plan for pregnant ewes and, group and manage ewes according to the number of lambs they are having.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When adding scan results you can add a detailed pregnancy scan \u2013 including details such as number of lambs due, sire, gender, and more. Alternatively, you have the option to simply select the empty or pregnant status only.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
