Horse breeding in horse farm

In the process of raising horses, the breeding of horses is also more critical, the quality of breeding has a direct impact on the quality and variety of the next generation of horses, so horse breeders must grasp the breeding. You can learn more successful experiences from successful people.

Moyu, who is in estrus for the first time after delivery, has no symptoms of disease in the reproductive tract. Can washing her uterus and vagina with sterilized liquid can increase the conception rate? The mother who came to ask for a match about ten days after delivery, after rough examination and determination that there was no reproductive tract disease, some of them washed the reproductive tract with 1% sodium solution or 1/1000 potassium permanganate solution for 1 or 2 times, and then inseminated at the appropriate time of estrus.

A total of 80 mothers were washed, 58 were pregnant after mating, and the pregnancy rate was 72.5%. The other part of the mothers did not do the above treatment, with a total of 180 mothers and 144 pregnancies, with a field pregnancy rate of 80%. It is clear that as long as the mother is a normal foal, and no abnormal phenomena are found in the uterus and vagina, washing the plant well before mating will not help to improve the conception rate, such as incomplete sterilization and improper operation. On the contrary, Xiya treatment will make the reproductive tract originally healthy, which may cause reproductive tract inflammation and affect breeding. If you breed a mother who is not pregnant in the first postpartum period, it is necessary to have a lucky check and, if necessary, to wash the reproductive tract.

The estrus of the mountain horse usually lasts from the first ten days of September of that year to February of the following year. At this time, the sexual desire of the mare is generally strong, and the conception rate is high. After breeding in September and October of that year, lambs can be born in February and March of the following year, and the average pregnancy period is about 150 days.

The conception rate of mountain horse mating is closely related to the timing of mating. Timely mating should be achieved, and once mating can be successful in the first period of estrus. Mares usually have estrus in 16 ~ 20 days, the duration of each estrus is 24 ~ 48 hours, the time of ovulation is generally 30 ~ 40 hours after the beginning of estrus, and the best time for mating should be 12 ~ 24 hours after estrus.

For mares that can't go into estrus on time, the following measures should be taken to promote estrus.

First, half a month before the scheduled breeding time, the stallion is tied to the mare to stimulate the mare to be in estrus.

The second is to feed the mare more irritating food, such as carrots.

Third, in the case of the ineffectiveness of the above two methods, the mare should be treated with medicine: 20 grams of motherwort, an appropriate amount of water, a filling. Once a day, usually once or twice a day.

Breeding requirements for raising horses

Horse industry is a part of traditional animal husbandry, which is changing from providing auxiliary power for agriculture to producing meat and skin, and is developing rapidly from small-scale and low-profit to medium-scale and high-profit. Meat horses have the characteristics of strong disease resistance, high survival rate and wide natural ecological adaptability, which make the majority of meat horse breeders reduce costs and open up greater profit margins. The diseases of meat horses are less than mules, horses, cattle and sheep, especially the gastrointestinal diseases are less than horses.

Generally speaking, as long as you do a good job of immunity and keep clean and dry in the horse fence, maintain adaptive light, ventilation and feeding density, supply horse feed, and ensure adequate clean drinking water, horses rarely get sick. The fertilization rate and foal rate of horses are both 90%, and the foal rate and breeding rate are 95%. Meat horses have wide natural ecological adaptability, heat and thirst resistance, less drinking water and poor cold resistance. they are widely distributed in dry and hot areas, so they are not suitable to live in high and cold mountain areas and cold and humid areas. Western Shandong, southeastern Shandong and northern Shandong are very suitable for raising horses, and the vast rural areas of our country can also be raised on a large scale.

Meat horses are docile and like to live in groups, which can be raised in orchards, hillsides or in captivity, and can be fed with ordinary feed plus grass. General grasses account for about 80% of the feed, small miscellaneous grains are its concentrate, and small miscellaneous grains and straw are its coarse fodder. It is also suitable for factory feeding. If it is necessary to accelerate its growth rate, it can be fed with compound feed or full-price pellet feed.

Choosing a suitable horse breed according to the local breeding environment and market demand is the key point of investing in the project. The quality of horses is directly related to the fattening benefit and future development. Horses in our country are divided into three categories according to their physical size: large horses, medium horses and small horses. For raising horses, it is appropriate to choose medium-sized horses, followed by large horses, while small horses are used to make donkey-hide gelatin, and their meat can also be put on the market.

The cost of raising horses in rural areas

In rural areas, feed can be taken from the wild, saving a lot of feed money, but other foals can still have an average birth weight of 28.5kg. Scientific management and careful feeding of born foals can reach more than 35kg, lactation period is 60 days, fattening period is 120 days, special grade can grow to 130 kg, grade 1, 115 kg, grade 2, grade 3 95kg, average 110kg, fattening period is 120 days, concentrate feed 45kg (including cake, meal 12kg) and other grains such as corn, barley, wheat, wheat bran, etc. Salt 0.45kg can also be used to concentrate feed for fattening horses, supplement vitamins and trace elements, etc., leaving young foals should be supplemented with carrot 25kg, roughage 500kg or so, mainly corn straw and silage, rice straw should be crushed, kneaded, fine grass fine. The total cost of feed is about 125 yuan.

Agricultural products with more land or pastures with land can grow some alfalfa. This grass is a perennial leguminous plant with rich nutrition and good palatability. it is the best variety of forage grasses. It is rich in a variety of nutrients, protein content, hay 14.9, dried leaves 22.5. The forage value is extremely high. American Golden Queen, Canadian reindeer, Gongnong No.1, Jiamusi and other varieties can be planted in the north. This variety has strong cold tolerance, overwintering rate of more than 90%, and can harvest 3 crops a year. In the south, other high-quality varieties can harvest 5-6 crops a year, Rain Water normal or water-saving irrigation per mu of fresh grass 7500kg hay 1~1.5kg, plus some artificial planting of high-quality forage grass will not increase much cost.

The market prospect of raising horses

At the present stage, with the development of the market of horse meat and donkey-hide gelatin, the production and sales of horse products are exuberant, but the demand for horse meat rises sharply, resulting in high prices. Although the cost of raising horses is low, farmers everywhere have no habit of raising horses, and they one-sidedly think that raising horses makes more money than raising cattle, horses and pigs. Coupled with the fact that farmers are ineffective in market information and do not understand the market of horse meat, the development of horses is slow and the market is in short supply.

According to the analysis of relevant experts, compared with pigs, beef cattle and mutton sheep, horse breeding has less risk, not only a wide range of feed sources, but also less investment and quick results, and it is expected that horse products will not be able to meet the market demand in the next three to five years. Therefore, horse breeding has strong market competitiveness and staying power, and the market prospect is broad.

Through the above analysis, we know that the horse market resources are still relatively scarce, and the current resources are far from being able to meet everyone's demand for horses, so horse breeding is a breeding project with great development prospects and huge market potential.
