What do mutton sheep graze and raise in hot summer?

Every summer, the grass grows luxuriantly, delicious and juicy, and the majority of farmers can use grazing to feed mutton sheep, which can not only save manpower and feed, but also a good time to promote fat, and lay the foundation for full fat and breeding in autumn and winter. But the summer weather is hot, the humidity is big, the fly is many, extremely easy to cause the sheep heatstroke or cause other diseases. So what should we pay attention to in grazing and raising mutton sheep in hot summer?

1. Shearing sheep

If you raise fine wool mutton sheep or fine wool improved sheep in summer, the sheep will grow very thick wool, affecting the heat dissipation of the sheep. In the summer high temperature season, it will increase the body temperature of mutton sheep, which is very disadvantageous to the growth of mutton sheep in summer. Therefore, after summer, mutton sheep should be sheared in time to create a good heat dissipation environment. Shearing should be meticulous and thoughtful, so that the stubble left behind should be as short as possible, so that not only the heat dissipation condition is good, but also the output of wool can be increased. Be careful when shearing to avoid bruising or pricking the skin of sheep. When a wound appears, it should be disinfected with iodine tincture in time.

Second, do deworming

Adult sheep or postpartum ewes can be used to dispel parasites both in vivo and in vitro before mid-May. Lambs produced in early spring can be dewormed by intramuscular injection of sodium chloroiodine thiamine in places where fascioliasis is prevalent.

III. Selection of grazing land

Grazing should be chosen where drinking water is convenient, grass quality is good, and grazing is far away from crops. The breeder should divide the grazing land into several small pastoral areas according to the surrounding long grass. This is conducive to the growth of grass and the hygiene of the grazing environment.

IV. Selection of grazing time

The summer weather is hot, so grazing in the morning should come out early and go home early. Generally, you can graze when the dew is just dry. Before grazing, feed a small amount of hay to prevent hunger from eating poisonous weeds during grazing. It's too hot at noon, so just let the sheep rest in a cool and ventilated place. Give more water to the sheep. Grazing can be done around 7 p.m. In the afternoon. After grazing, wait for the sheep to cool for a period of time before they are enclosed. Adult ewes and rams should be grazed in groups, weak and sick and ewes in the later stage of pregnancy should not graze in large groups. When grazing, sheep can walk against the wind to reduce the disturbance of flies. In sunny weather, choose to graze in dry places; in case of thunderstorm, avoid driving sheep on steep slopes in case of lightning and thunder, so as to prevent sheep from being frightened and hurt.

Fifth, replenish salt in time

Increased sweating of mutton sheep in summer, to timely increase salt to sheep, salt had better be added to drinking water, so that salt replenishment can be uniform and sufficient.
