Feeding and management techniques of goats after winter

Sanitary cleaning. Every day adhere to the sheep house feces and dirt cleaning, and unified stacking for biological fermentation treatment, in order to keep the sheep house dry, clean, comfortable and hygienic.

Disinfect the source. It is necessary to disinfect the sheep house once every 10 days and the whole house once a month to eliminate the hidden danger of epidemic disease.

Protect against cold and cold. First, do a good job in the inspection of air leakage in the sheep shed to prevent rain leakage and cold air blowing directly into the sheep shed at night. The second is to do a good job of anti-cold and anti-freezing work of postpartum ewes and lambs. If possible, cushions should be added to increase the ability to prevent cold and ensure the safety of postpartum ewes and lambs through the winter.

Make-up feeding with bad materials. As the winter is cold and the sheep consume a lot of energy, when feeding the sheep with green forage after grazing, it is necessary to feed the sheep an appropriate amount of concentrate, such as corn, wheat husk, etc., especially post-natal ewes and lambs, in order to ensure their nutritional needs and ensure their safe passage through the winter.

Ewes protect the fetus. The vast majority of female goats are pregnant in winter, so we should pay attention to do a good job of protecting the fetus. In feeding, we should pay attention to the quality of forage, do not feed moldy, spoilage, frost forage. In grazing, it is strictly forbidden to squeeze, frighten, sprint, jump ditches and other adverse actions, in order to avoid causing miscarriage of pregnant ewes.

Grazing arrangements. The winter weather is cold, the temperature difference between morning and evening varies greatly, it is appropriate to put it late and harvest early, and there is no grazing in rainy and snowy days. Therefore, we should pay attention to observe the weather and watch the local weather forecast, and make feeding arrangements for rainy and snowy days in advance.

Warm water supply. In winter, it is necessary to ensure an adequate supply of drinking water for sheep. Because of the cold weather, they should be provided with adequate warm salt water instead of cold water. At the same time, the sheep should be provided with warm salt water when grazing and harvesting, so that the sheep can drink enough to avoid drinking cold water.
