The secret book of professional sheep farm to reduce breeding cost!

At present, the price of live sheep in the market is unpredictable. Some time ago, sheep prices in some areas just showed an upward trend. Recently, I heard that prices have fallen again, making it difficult for sheep farmers to grasp, especially for some small retail investors. Their own funds are not sufficient, and it is even more difficult to resist price fluctuations.

To reduce the breeding cost as much as possible, this is a link that sheep breeders must consider. Professional farms in all aspects of conditions are relatively better, have their own technical team and management team, can timely respond to market risks and reduce breeding costs, as far as possible to minimize the risk. The conditions of small retail investors are worse in all aspects, so it is not impossible to learn the practice of professional farms!

So what should be done to reduce the cost of farming?

First, make full use of wheat straw and other straw at home to make ammoniated feed or silage, which can not only avoid waste but also save feed cost. It can also be selectively fed according to different growth stages of sheep.

Second, rational selection of seeds. Breeding sheep does not lie in the number, but in the quality, in time to the bad breeding ram to inferior, elimination or out of the fence, so that the quality of the sheep can be improved. If necessary, you can learn artificial insemination technology, which can greatly improve the utilization rate of breeding rams, and reduce the number of breeding, which is not to save money?

Third, shorten the fattening period. It is suitable for 2-3 months, and the fattening time should be controlled flexibly according to the fatness of fattening sheep. In the green grass period, the poor adult sheep can be grazed and raised in the grassy slope, and the sheep can be fattened and then fattened by grass, which can save feed and reduce the cost.

Fourth, self-breeding and self-support. If you have a good breed of ram and ewe, you can breed and breed yourself. as long as the quality of the breeder sheep is good, may the sheep produced fail to sell at a good price?

Fifth, make full use of the heterosis. The common modes of hybridization in China are binary hybridization, ternary hybridization, backcrossing, terminal hybridization and so on. Taking binary hybridization as an example, the hybrid offspring can absorb the advantages of male and female parents, and the method is simple and feasible.

Sixth, the last point, that is, sheep breeders should have the most: breeding technology! It is better to ask for help than to ask yourself, set aside some time every day to recharge yourself, see more, learn more, and learn more about some common problems, such as lamb delivery, basic sheep disease identification, inbreeding, and so on. These are closely related to the actual benefits, learning more, it will certainly do no harm to yourself!
