    Introduction: our news (reporter Li AI, correspondent Wang Wenqiang) a small tail Han sheep breeder is located in the Shengshi Fumin sheep breeding base in Baishan Town, Changping After pregnancy, the embryo enters the tail by mistake On October 11, technicians slit their tails and remove two lambs At present, one of the two lambs is congenitally blind and the other is healthy The ewe died soon after giving birth because the knife edge on the tail cannot be sewn The two lambs that the embryo slides into the tail twice and is taken from the ewe Since June this year, the breeding sheep in Shengshi Fumin breeding base have been pregnant, in good condition In mid September, breeders found a large cyst in Lily's tail drum Meng Danna, an animal husbandry expert at the breeding base, examined Lily and concluded that the swollen sac was the embryo of the ewe According to common sense, the normal pregnancy of sheep is in the uterus of the abdominal cavity, the tail and the abdominal pelvis are not directly connected, and it is impossible to conceive in the tail Mengdana infers that Lili should have opened her pelvis 48 days before delivery The peritoneum at the back of her abdominal cavity ruptured, while the cervix was not opened, so her uterus with the formed embryo slid down the ruptured peritoneum to the tail Because the tail is closed, the embryo grows in the tail with the sliding uterus, forming a swollen sac The technician carefully sent the fallen uterus and embryo back to its normal position in the abdominal cavity to ensure that Lily's normal production did not occur accidentally More than 10 days later, Lily's tail swelled again It was confirmed that Lily's uterus slipped onto the tail with the embryo At this time, the lamb had been formed and the uterus could not be reset Experts at the base decided to slit Lily's tail and take out the lamb On October 11, two lambs were taken out for "split tail production" The ewe "lily" with 10 days left for production was so swollen that she couldn't stand and move Her tail was only supported with a thin layer of skin The technicians of the breeding base decided to give the ewe a "postnatal section" After the injection, the technician cut the tail extension of the ewe by about 15 cm, and the lamb emerged from the ewe's tail wrapped in a golden frock The technician holds the lamb embryo in his hand, pokes the knife edge of the ewe's tail a little bit, and inch by inch moves the lamb embryo out of the ewe's tail After the lamb came out more than half of the body, the amniotic fluid broke through the placenta, and the first lamb came to the world The technician was about to sew up the edge of the ewe's knife when he found that there was a lamb near the ewe's abdominal cavity The lamb was a little smaller than the first one, and with the edge of the knife already open, it was removed smoothly It took nearly four hours for the whole "end of section" After the birth, "lily" mother and son were sent to the greenhouse immediately A ewe whose tail is "pregnant" and swollen and drooping after death Correspondent Wang Wenqiang photographed two lambs lying quietly on the ground yesterday, licking their juices from time to time One of them has started to prop up his slender calf and struggles to jump up As soon as he got up, his legs tilted inward and fell down again In the afternoon, he stood up and fell again and again The breeder said that this was the one that came out later It was already trying to stand It was in good health Although the two lambs were abnormal in the embryo, they produced very well The birth weight of the two sheep is nearly 7jin, which is heavier than that of the general newborn lambs The first born lambs almost completely survive in the tail, and are found to be congenital blindness after birth At present, they are still in danger The ewe has a very large blade and no muscles on its tail, so it can't be sewn The ewe died shortly after birth and was sent to the slaughterhouse for processing.
