At Surya LiveStocks, we believe that excellence in sheep farming is not an accident — it’s the result of meticulous planning, disciplined execution, and a relentless commitment to animal health and productivity. As we enter 2026, our breeder-focused farm in Telangana is proud to share the operational blueprint that underpins our success with Nellore Brown sheep.

This post outlines our full health calendar, deworming protocols, breeding control strategy, and monthly supplement regimen — all designed to optimize lambing outcomes, reduce mortality, and ensure consistent flock performance.

🗓️ 2026 Health Calendar: Vaccines, Dewormers & Breeding Control

We’ve built a month-wise calendar that integrates all critical health interventions, mapped to specific product brands so our staff can execute without ambiguity. This calendar is laminated, pictorial, and WhatsApp-ready — ensuring full compliance across the team.

✅ January

• Vaccination: Sheep Pox
• Dewormer: Levamisole + Oxyclozanide
• Product: Virbac Nilzan

✅ March

• Dewormer: Triclabendazole + Ivermectin
• Product: Vetmex TRIVER+PLUS (Triclabendazole 5% + Ivermectin 0.1%)

✅ May

• Vaccination: ET
• Breeding Control: Mating strictly prohibited from May 20

✅ June

• Vaccination: FMD + HS (BioVac)
• Dewormer: Niclosamide + Albendazole
• Product: Swastik Pharmaceuticals Niclosamide + Albendazole
• Breeding Control: Mating still restricted

✅ July

• Vaccination: Bluetongue
• Breeding Control: Mating allowed again from July 15

✅ September

• Dewormer: Ivermectin + Closantel
• Product: ECTONIL +PLUS (Closantel 50 mg + Ivermectin 2 mg Oral Solution)

✅ October

• Vaccination: PPR
• Dewormer: Fenbendazole + Praziquantel
• Product: Fentas Plus

✅ November

• Vaccination: PPR (if pending)

This calendar ensures that every ewe is protected against major diseases, dewormed with precision, and managed for optimal breeding timing. By avoiding mating during the high-stress summer window (May 20–July 15), we reduce heat-related fertility issues and improve lambing outcomes.

🧪 Monthly Supplements: Targeted Support for High-Stress Groups

We’ve implemented a focused supplement protocol that reflects the physiological demands of pregnancy and lactation:

🔹 Sections 1 & 6 (Pregnant Ewes + Ewes with Lambs)

• Calcium: 3 days every month
• Liver Tonic: 2 days every month

🔹 Entire Flock

• Liver Tonic: 2 days every month

This dual-layered approach ensures that high-demand animals receive extra support, while the entire flock benefits from improved digestion, appetite, and metabolic resilience.

📲 Staff Execution: Minimal Text, Pictorial, WhatsApp-Ready

We’ve translated the entire calendar into a visual chart with icons for vaccines, dewormers, mating rules, and supplements. Each product is shown with its bottle image, and each month is color-coded for clarity.

Staff receive:

• Laminated wall posters in local language
• WhatsApp versions with minimal text
• Monthly reminders synced to feeding schedules

This ensures zero confusion, zero missed doses, and full accountability.

🧮 Operational Discipline: Why This Matters

At Surya LiveStocks, we manage over 270 animals across six sections. Our lambing rate is 1.5 lambs per ewe with 80% success, and we sell ~280 lambs annually at 35 kg and ₹410/kg. With tight margins and high input costs, health compliance is not optional — it’s survival.

By locking in our 2026 calendar:

• We reduce disease outbreaks
• We prevent mating during heat stress
• We ensure consistent deworming coverage
• We support reproductive and lactational health
• We empower staff to execute without supervision

🐏 The Professional Edge

What sets Surya LiveStocks apart is not just our protocols — it’s our mindset. We treat every calendar entry as a non-negotiable business rule, not a suggestion. We track compliance, correct errors, and continuously refine our systems.

Whether you’re managing 50 sheep or 500, this level of planning is what transforms a farm from reactive to proactive — and from average to exceptional.
