Following the discovery, experts have suggested that the mother sheep are looking for their newborns in the barn, which is divided into several indoor pens, after they return from grazing.
Al-Majali added that this movement is right (maternal behavior) and the behavior vanished immediately after the mothers communicated with the newborns.
The ministry also confirmed that the technical team did not detect any symptoms of disease on the herd, which is in good health, and this behavior is considered normal.
The ministry called for the need not to disseminate inaccurate and misleading information, emphasizing that the reason for this behavior is normal and unsatisfactory.
