Breeding methods and matters needing attention of Boer Sheep

Grazing and feeding methods: sheep flocks were organized reasonably according to grazing conditions, sex and age, about 30-50 breeding ewes and adult ewes were grouped into a group, about 20-40 castrated fattening rams were grouped into a group, and about 10 rams were fattened into a group. Shed feeding methods: to build sheep houses and sports grounds, set up material troughs, grass racks, drinking water tanks, etc., to be fed regularly, quantitatively, qualitatively, and by people, and to increase the amount of exercise of Boer sheep.

1. Grazing and feeding methods

1. Sheep organization

The main results are as follows: (1) the sheep flock should be organized according to the grazing conditions, sex and age of the region. Reasonable organization of sheep flock can save labor cost and facilitate sheep flock management.

(2) the number of sheep should not be too large when grazing. Because grazing land is usually selected at the edge of the land, roadside woodland and river embankment areas, it is inevitable that there will be certain restrictions.

(4) the amount of grazing can be determined according to the specific conditions in agriculture and animal husbandry hilly and mountainous areas. in general, about 30-50 ewes are grouped with about 30-50 ewes, 20-40 fattened rams are castrated and fattened, and about 10 rams are fattened.

2. Grazing management

(1) Spring

Boer sheep after winter and spring dry grass season for a long time, greedy fat is easy to greedy green, resulting in dysentery or rumen gas, serious or even accidental poisoning, so spring grazing management should pay attention to:

① first guard against "running green" and second guard against "expansion".

② grazed on the old grassy slope first, then grazed on the green grassy slope, or fed an appropriate amount of hay during the period.

③ spring green grass contains more water, cold and dewy in the morning, Boer sheep is easy to diarrhea after eating.

④ grazing and feeding salt every 5-6 days, stir-fry the salt first, light yellow, it is best to add appropriate amount of ground feed and additives, during the period once a day to feed water, can help digestion and appetite, supplement the necessary nutrition.

(2) Summer

Hot and rainy summer, mosquito breeding, pay attention to heat prevention and cooling, anti-mosquito repellent, hot sheep in the afternoon, get to a cool and ventilated place, have an appropriate rest on the way to grazing, go out early and return late, drink more water and feed salt.

(3) autumn

The forage grass grows sturdily, rich and mature in autumn, which is the most suitable season for sheep herding and fattening. When grazing, sheep should be fed fully, which is conducive to fattening and breeding in winter.

(4) Winter

① winter frost cold, grass withered, grazing to keep warm, keep fat to protect lambs, grazing land before and after the village and near the sheepfold, feed some leaves, hay, sunny day exercise more sun.

② ewes can not carry out large-scale movements during pregnancy, avoid turning ditches and mountains, and renovate and manage the sheep house during the period.

3. Points for attention

(1) carry emergency medical equipment with you to prevent heatstroke.

(2) do not throw stones at the sheep when grazing to avoid startling the flock.

(3) do not spread out in groups when grazing, so as to prevent the attack of wild animals.

(4) do not feed sheep frozen grass, dew grass and mildew grass when grazing, and it is best not to drink sewage to prevent overeating.

Second, the method of house feeding.

Most of the house feeding is built in rural areas, including sheep sheds, sports grounds, and at the same time set up material trough, grass rack, drinking tank and so on.

The main results are as follows: 1. "four determinations" should be achieved in house feeding, which are timing, quantitative, qualitative and fixed human feeding respectively.

2. the forage, feed and drinking water used for feeding should be kept clean, be careful not to feed moldy forage, and avoid ice water in winter.

3. The range of house feeding should be kept clean and dry, warm in winter and cool in summer and ventilated, and disinfected regularly, and used in the later stage of sheep manure accumulation and fermentation.

4. Boer sheep should be allowed to carry out proper activities, increase the amount of exercise of sheep, and maintain the health of sheep.

5. Attention should be paid to deworming, epidemic prevention and disease control in spring and autumn.
