Fattening technique of lambs

When fattening lambs, it is necessary to make them eat early during lactation, especially goats with poor ability to adapt to concentrate. In order to ensure them to eat breakfast and eat more during lactation, special attention should be paid to the palatability and high quality of the selected feed.

The weaning time of lambs can be flexibly controlled according to their feeding conditions, and generally they should be weaned when they can eat 70 to 80 grams of concentrate. In order to reduce the stress reaction of lambs during herding, before turning out, the lambs should concentrate on suspending water supply and grass, leaving them on an empty stomach for one night, loading and shipping them the next day, minimizing the time on the way, and not feeding them on the day of the fattening land. only let it drink water and give a small amount of hay to let the sheep rest quietly to avoid disturbance, and then weigh it, inject quadruple vaccine and inject insect repellent.

After the beginning of fattening, no matter what fattening method is adopted, there must be a pre-feeding transition period. The transition period of pre-feeding during moderate fattening is roughly divided into two stages: the first stage (1-3 days), feeding only hay to adapt to the new environment; and the second stage (7-10 days), 70% hay, 25% corn kernels, 4% soybean cakes and 1% salt. The pre-feeding transition period during intensity fattening is roughly divided into three stages: the first stage (1-3 days), feeding only hay to let the lambs adapt to the new environment; the second stage (7-10 days), the reference diet is corn kernels 25%, hay 64%, honey 5%, bean cake 5%, salt 1%; the third stage is (11-14 days), the reference diet is corn kernels 39%, hay 50%, honey 5%, soybean cake 5%, salt 1%, plus antibiotics 35 mg. The above diets should be fed twice a day, and the sheep should be fed within 40 minutes. In addition, the feed can be adjusted according to different resources.
