Nutritional imbalance! Sheep eating bran prone to stones, according to research and analysis, this disease is mainly caused by feeding a large number of bran. Bran contains more magnesium phosphate, when the small-tailed frigid sheep suffering from chronic gastroenteritis, due to the reduction of gastric juice, too much gastric acid, can not be fed in the feed of magnesium phosphate to maintain the dissolved state. This substance enters the large intestine and combines with the ammonia produced by the decomposition of the corruption of the site to produce ammonia-magnesium phosphate precipitation. Precipitation is often centered on certain small objects in the intestinal tract (such as grass sticks, grain particles, small grains of sand, etc.), and after a long period of repeated precipitation, the formation of whorls of laminar stones.
