How to raise Sheep breeding techniques and matters needing attention

Sheep is a common breeding animal. The body of the sheep is very plump and the body hair is very dense. But the sheep's head is very short. Because the meat of sheep is very fresh and delicious, it is deeply loved by gourmets and becomes an indispensable delicacy on the table. In addition, the fur of sheep can also be made into a lot of things, so now more and more people begin to raise sheep.

How to raise sheep

1. Shearing methods of sheep shearing times Fine wool sheep, semi-fine wool sheep and hybrid sheep producing homogeneous wool are generally sheared only once in spring within a year, while coarse wool sheep and hybrid sheep producing heterogeneous wool can be sheared once in spring and autumn.

2. shearing time the specific time of shearing depends on the local climatic conditions. Spring shearing is mostly carried out when the climate is getting warmer and tends to be stable. Spring shearing is generally from late May to early June in pastoral areas of northwest China, from late June to early July in Qinghai-Tibet alpine pastoral areas, and from mid-April to early May in agricultural areas. Autumn shearing is mostly carried out in September.

3. When preparing manual shearing before shearing, scissors, grindstone, mat, scale, iodine match, record book, etc., should be prepared. If shearing machine is used, technicians should be trained first and machinery should be overhauled to ensure the quality of wool.

4. Shearing should choose a sunny morning and stop grazing, feeding and drinking water 12 hours before shearing, so as to avoid accidents such as soiling wool by feces and urine during shearing or gastrointestinal volvulus caused by overturning sheep due to satiety, and crowd sheep together before shearing, so that oil and sweat can be melted and shearing is easy. Because the wool is wet after rain, it should not be cut immediately, otherwise the cut wool is easy to mildew and rot after packaging.

Sheep breeding techniques and matters needing attention

1. Do a good job in the reserve of forage and feed to ensure supply. At the same time, good forage preparation and storage methods should be selected to ensure the quality of forage.

2. When feeding grass, we should prepare simple grass rack and feed trough to reduce the waste of forage grass and improve the utilization rate of feed. Feed succulent root tubers such as carrots, potatoes and beets, wash away sludge and other impurities, cut them up and feed them. No matter hay, silage or succulent feed, if there is mildew and deterioration, it should not be used for feeding.

3. No matter what kind of feeding method is carried out, fine and coarse fodder should be fed regularly. In the case of sheep raised by grazing, supplementary feeding should be carried out twice in the morning and evening, that is, hay should be fed before grazing in the morning, and concentrate in the evening, and then an appropriate amount of straw should be given.

5. No matter what kind of feeding method is adopted, sheep should be vaccinated and repelled by medicine on a regular basis. After sheep are infected with parasitic diseases in the digestive tract, they are particularly prone to dysentery, weight loss and death in spring. Therefore, sheep should be given scientific and reasonable feeding conditions in autumn and winter to ensure that sheep survive the winter and spring safely and grow healthily.

What do sheep eat?

1. Feed succulent root tubers such as carrots, yams and sugar beets, wash away sludge and other impurities, cut them up and feed them. In summer and autumn, captive sheep are mainly fed with legume grass, such as alfalfa, hairy vetch, sweet clover and so on. Try to avoid feeding sheep with leftovers of soup so as not to cause accumulated food.

2. Sheep have thin and flexible lips, sharp incisors, can gnaw on low grasses and roots, and feed on many plant species, accounting for about 88% of all forage plant species. They like to feed on families and grasses, and eat both deciduous leaves and weeds during the withered grass period.

Do you make money by raising sheep?

1. Sheep are now raised all over the world. They are timid, docile and easy to domesticate. At present, most of the highly domesticated breeds are perennial estrus, while the local grazing varieties are seasonal oestrus, and most of them are in estrus in autumn and winter. The gestation period of female sheep is 145-152 days. Give birth to 1-5 litters per birth.

2. The life span is 10 to 15 years. Sheep are thirsty and can provide human beings with products such as meat and fur. The meat of sheep is fresh and tender, and it is very delicious. The places where most sheep are raised in China are Inner Mongolia, Qinghai and other places. Sheep breeding is also a kind of breeding project with good benefit.

The character of sheep is very docile and easy to be domesticated by people, the wool of sheep has the function of heat insulation and cold resistance, so the general sheep are very cold-resistant, heat-resistant, the most important thing is that sheep can not be caught in the rain, because it is easy to catch cold.
