7-10 days after birth, when grazing or feeding with the ewe, the lamb will imitate the behavior of the ewe and eat certain forage. At this time, the soybeans can be fried, crushed and sprinkled in the trough to lure the lambs. At the beginning, each lamb can be fed 10-50 grams per day, and the feeding amount will be increased gradually after the lamb gets used to it. Lamb supplementary feeding should be carried out alone. When the lamb intake reaches about 100 grams, the mixed concentrate containing about 24% crude protein can be used for supplementary feeding. In the later stage of lactation, lambs can be grouped alone during the day and set aside special pastures for grazing, combined with supplementary feeding of mixed concentrate; high-quality green hay can be put on the grass rack for free feeding, especially Gramineae and Leguminosae hay.
