Goat breeding in winter needs to pay attention to the "five essentials"

When it comes to goats, I think we are all very familiar with it. In the rural areas of our country, we can often see people raising goats. Some families raise 3 goats, and some people raise goats on a large scale. Therefore, goat farming is still very common and common in the rural areas of our country.

Goat breeding in winter needs to pay attention to the "five essentials"

First, scientific grazing. The winter climate is cold and the wind and snow is frequent. When grazing, you should choose the sunny flat land surrounded by low terrain and mountains, and do not swim far, so that you can return to the circle in time in case of sudden changes in the weather. At the same time, the withering period in winter is long, and the pasture is often insufficient, so the pasture should be saved as much as possible. When herding sheep, you should choose far and near, Yin and Yang first, high then low, ditch first and then flat, go out late and return late, walk slowly and travel slowly. If possible, leave some pasture near the sheepfold for grazing in case of bad weather.

Second, we should prepare enough fodder. In winter, there are few forages for goats to feed in the field, and the energy and nutritional value of withered grass are very poor. If goats do not eat well and are not full during the overwintering period, it is easy to lose fat. Therefore, it is very important to prepare enough overwintering forage and feed goats in winter. Forage storage is generally carried out in summer and autumn, so the season is rich in forage and high nutritional value. In addition, some concentrate should be stored to improve the effect of supplementary feeding.

Third, it is necessary to group at the right time. It is best to flock sheep before entering the winter farm. Except for the old and weak sheep and the proper elimination of poor nutrition, the rest are grouped according to nutritional status to facilitate grazing. At the same time, female goats often give birth during overwintering, so ewes before giving birth should be transferred to the lambing room for separate care. And after a period of sucking and timely training, newborn lambs should simply organize the lamb flock to avoid long-distance grazing with a large flock of goats, and can be specially responsible for the close grazing movement of the lamb flock, which should also be driven into the lamb fold and raised separately from the adult flock.

Fourth, it is necessary to keep warm against the cold. Check the sheep house, repair the leak, prevent the wind, rain and snow from drifting in, and ensure that the house is warm and dry. When the cold wave comes, the bedding grass should be thickened. In addition, do not heat up the fire in the house in case the sheep suffer from pneumonia due to smoke.

Fifth, we should do a good job in hygiene and epidemic prevention. Check the enclosure frequently in winter, keep the enclosure, bedding, drinking water and forage clean and sanitary, and thoroughly disinfect the enclosure if necessary. At the same time, sheep farmers should learn to prevent and treat major diseases of sheep, and manage sheep well so that they do not come into contact with sick sheep and do a good job of epidemic prevention. In early winter, sheep are prone to lice. Once found, a mixture of rapeseed oil and kerosene can be applied to the affected area 5 times a day for 4 consecutive days. You can also take 100 grams of raw lard and 150 grams of ginger to smash and wipe the affected parts of sheep. 1 Mel can be eliminated twice.

Nutritional requirements and variety selection

1. Black goat mutton sheep should have sufficient roughage to meet the needs of rumen microorganisms, and then match the diet according to the production purpose and economic benefit of black goats at different stages.

2. In terms of breeds, excellent black goats suitable for captivity should be selected, such as Weiyan black goats, which have the characteristics of strong physique, disease resistance and tenacious survival ability, and get the scale development of many agricultural areas. Such black goats are suitable for intensive captivity or stocking.

3. Attention should be paid to the diet of captive black goats. The feed mix should be fully nutritious, diversified, palatable, easy to digest, and a reasonable mix of fine, coarse and green fodder.

4. Lambs should feed colostrum as early as possible to ensure their health. Suckling lambs can graze as early as possible, supplement plant feed, promote the development of rumen function, and strengthen the adaptability of lambs to the external environment. The diet of growing sheep is mainly coarse feed, and according to the purpose of production and the quality of coarse feed, the concentrate is rationally proportioned, while the fattening sheep of black goats are fattened with high concentrate diet. Supplementary feeding was carried out in the later stage of pregnancy to ensure the normal growth and development of the fetus in the later stage of pregnancy.

The benefits of raising black goats in houses

1. Black goats grow and develop rapidly. Due to the reduction of walking and foraging activities, the proportion of forage grass transformed into mutton is increased, more mutton can be produced per unit of grass, the feeding cycle can be shortened by half, the turnover is fast and the benefit is high.

2. accumulate a lot of fertilizer. The average annual fat accumulation of a sheep in stocking is 500kg, but it is 1000kg in captivity.

3. Fewer diseases and higher survival rate of lambing. Due to the "wind eating and sleeping", free-range goats are easy to catch diseases, and it is not easy to find sick sheep in time, so the phenomenon of premature death of lambs often occurs. Captive goats can be carefully managed, do not drink dirty water, less chance of infection, so the mother is fat and strong, and the survival rate can reach almost 100%.

4. Promoting the restoration of vegetation and solving the contradiction between forest and animal husbandry are beneficial to the commercialization of forage industry and promote the intensive and large-scale development of herbivore production.

Captive advantages of Black Goat

The main results are as follows: 1. black goats grow and develop rapidly. due to the reduction of walking and foraging activities, the proportion of forage grass transformed into mutton is increased, and more mutton can be produced per unit of grass, the feeding cycle can be shortened by half, the turnover is fast and the benefit is high.

2. Accumulate a lot of fertilizer, the average annual fertilizer accumulation of a sheep in stocking is 500kg, but it is 1000kg in captivity.

3. There are few diseases and high survival rate of lambs. Black goats are easy to be infected because of "wind eating and sleeping", and it is not easy to find sick sheep in time, so the phenomenon of premature death of lambs often occurs. Captive black goats can be carefully managed, do not drink dirty water, less chance of infection, so the mother is fat and strong, and the survival rate can reach almost 100%.

4. Captive cultivation of black goats can also promote the restoration of vegetation, solve the contradiction between forest and animal husbandry, facilitate the commercialization of forage industry, and promote the intensive and large-scale development of herbivore production.

Although it is quite common for me to raise goats, and there is a lot of demand for goats in the market, mutton is a more common dish in life, but when breeders are raising goats, they still have to choose according to the current market situation.
