How much is the market price of cashmere goat at present?

The market price of cashmere goat varies according to the breed and age of the sheep, and the prices are different in some areas. generally, the price of ordinary sheep is between 350 and 1000 yuan, and the price of breeding sheep is generally between 1500 and 2000 (depending on the decision of male and female).

Third, how to increase the cashmere yield?

1. Try to choose purebred or heterotic sheep when grouping.

2. Generally speaking, the cashmere yield of breeding ram and Capricorn sheep is the highest, the young sheep is the second, and the ewe is the lowest, so Capricorn sheep should occupy an appropriate high proportion in the population structure.

3. After entering winter and spring, strengthen the feeding and management of cashmere sheep, pay attention to feeding formula feed, silage forage, etc., so that the protein feed in the diet shall not be less than 13%, and the crude fiber shall not be less than 20%. In minerals, attention should be paid to the supplement of calcium, phosphorus and sulfur, especially sulfur is an indispensable material to make up villi. Sufficient sulfur plays an important role in improving the yield and quality of villi.

4. Change the feeding mode at the right time. In winter in the pastoral area, after most sheep are conceived, it is best to adopt house feeding in captivity, and then transfer to grazing after giving birth to lambs and combing at the end of next spring, which can not only avoid hanging up during cashmere production, but also improve the survival rate of lambing.

5. Regular medicine bath to prevent external parasitic diseases (such as scabies) is also one of the indispensable measures to increase cashmere yield.
