Knowledge of sheep behavior is of some importance for the preservation of lambs, as some of the main causes of early death of lambs are cold, loss of mother, lack of maternal instinct in ewes and poor viability of lambs, especially twins, loss of contact with the mother and following other sheep. In order to save the lambs as much as possible, it is necessary to carefully monitor their maintenance and prevent the queens from losing their lambs.
