Join us for a discussion about practical assessments and interventions for newborn small ruminants with Dr. Michelle Kutzler of Oregon State University.
In this episode we review Apgar scoring as an assessment tool for newborn lambs and their need for intervention after birth as well as a technique for assisting lambs that struggle with the transition of birth called the Madigan Squeeze. This technique was popularized in horses but has also been used in cattle.
