The County Administrative Board of Dalarna has required a sheep owner to immediately shear the sheep, trim their hooves, and provide dry and clean lying places following an inspection. The deficiencies are serious, including one ewe euthanized after being found with a prolapse.
The County Administrative Board of Dalarna conducted an inspection that revealed serious deficiencies in animal husbandry at a sheep farm in the region. The sheep had excessively long wool and untrimmed hooves, and the lying areas were neither dry nor clean.
The owner must now take immediate action to address these issues. Notably, one ewe was euthanized on site due to a prolapse found during the check.
The authority stresses the importance of proper animal welfare, with these measures aimed at ensuring the sheep's health.
