Detail description
A udder evaluation grid for meat sheep ewes to assess conformation, milk quality, and ease of suckling, supporting early detection of mastitis and lactation issues. Used pre-lambing, at lambing, and at weaning through visual and tactile inspection, it aids in selecting healthy, productive ewes and culling those with dysfunctional udders. Compatible with herd software or smartphone recording, it improves flock-level udder health, reduces chronic mastitis, and enhances lamb growth uniformity. Practical for breeders and technical staff in France.
