How to raise tall sheep? These three technical points make it easy for you to raise tall sheep.

High-footed sheep is a common goat breed, which can give birth to two babies a year. High-footed sheep has the characteristics of strong adaptability, resistance to rough feeding, high feed conversion rate, very delicious meat quality and high nutritional value. So how to raise high-footed sheep? Let's take a look.

1. Suitable living environment

How do farmers consider the location of the sheep house? The selection and construction of sheep farms need to be planned according to the number and development scale of existing sheep, as well as the status of funds and the degree of mechanization. At the same time, local conditions should be fully considered and production costs should be reduced. The sheep house should be built in a place with high terrain, good drainage, dry ventilation, sunny light and adequate water supply. As for the construction of building-style sheephouses, the sheephouses are generally 4-6 meters wide and 2-3 meters high, and their length depends on the number of sheep raised. The area of the sheephouses is calculated on the basis of 1.2 to 1.5 square meters per adult sheep. A sports ground is built next to the sheephouses, and trees are planted around them for shade.

The floor is nailed into a bed with a spacing of 1 cm to 1.5 cm with wooden strips, bamboo strips or thin wooden sticks, so that feces and urine fall on the ground. The sheep bed can be divided into columns and can also be made into movable panels. The requirements and design of the house should be as follows: the house is divided into ram pen, ewe pen, lamb pen, fattening pen, grass rack, feeding trough and drinking water equipment. The grass frame is set up with wooden strips against the wall in the house, which is about 1 meter high and has a feeding gap of 15 centimeters wide. The material trough can be made of cement or wood, generally 25 cm wide, 22 cm wide and 10 cm 15 cm deep. The bottom of the trough is curved, and it is best to leave an outward outlet hole. Drinking water equipment is set up along the wall, automatic drinking fountains can be selected, one can be installed every 3 meters, and drinking buckets can also be placed in the house without drinking fountains.

2. Appropriate scale and feeding

The appropriate scale of high-foot sheep breeding depends on many factors, such as farmers' investment ability, market price, forage area, feeding and management conditions, male-female ratio and so on. The practice shows that the minimum scale of breeding ewes should not be less than 20, and the appropriate scale should be 40-50 ewes. It is suitable for professional large households to control the breeding scale at 100 to 200. When raising high-footed sheep in rural mountainous areas, summer grazing should come out early and return early, and grazing can be done at 9 o'clock in the morning. Let the sheep rest and graze in the enclosure from 11:00 to 3pm, and graze at 7pm in the afternoon. Sheep should be supplied with enough salt and clean drinking water when they return to the pen. The sheep were fed with mixed feed (wheat bran, corn meal, bean cake plus rice bran and straw meal) once or twice a day, while grazing sheep were fed with brine for 4 or 6 times a day.

3. Epidemic prevention management

Although the diseases of high-footed sheep are less and better to feed, it is also necessary to do a good job in disease prevention and treatment, and vaccinate them in time in accordance with the immunization procedures of sheep. Sheep houses should be disinfected regularly; at present, parasitic diseases also restrict the development of sheep industry. Sheep with internal and external parasitic diseases are becoming thinner and thinner, even causing death, and the lighter ones are also wasting away to varying degrees due to the consumption of sheep nutrition, resulting in hindering the growth and development of young sheep, decreasing the reproduction rate of adult sheep, and reducing the output of wool and mutton. Sheepskin quality is damaged, so we must also pay attention to the prevention and control of sheep parasitic diseases in vivo and in vivo.
