If it is thought that the ewe has aborted then prophylactic [[Antibiotics|antibiotics]] should be administered. If foetuses are alive a caesarian section should be considered.

Ewes should be in a good body score at tupping and should maintain a good body condition score throughout gestation.
Good body condition can be maintained by mangement of feeding.
Ideally ewes should be scanned to determine the number of foetuses they are carying and then separated into groups and fed accordingly.
