Advantages of raising sheep in fermentation bed (winter)

In recent years, in response to the national policy of "ecological environmental protection, returning farmland to forest", most sheep farmers began to change their breeding model from extensive scattered farming to environment-friendly enclosure breeding. However, the captive breeding model also has some shortcomings, such as limiting the activity places of sheep, reducing the fertility rate and disease resistance of sheep, etc., so in order to improve this breeding model, the national government advocates dry-scattered fermentation bed culture with good heat preservation effect. effectively slow down the stimulation of temperature changes to sheep, help to prevent diseases, promote sheep to grow strong and fast, but also save labor, improve breeding efficiency and so on.

1. Keep warm and comfortable, increase the fertility rate

(1) the weather is cold in winter, the ground temperature is low and humid, and the breeding sheep that give birth to lambs touch the ground for a long time and are attacked by cold air, which is easy to cause miscarriage or stillbirth.

(2) the cold winter weather, the newly born lamb, weak physique, if not taken care of in time, stay in the simple enclosure for a long time, may lead to frostbite or death of the lamb, greatly reducing the survival rate of the lamb. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the winter, farmers need to repair the enclosure in advance, doors and windows to hang straw curtains and so on, the project is huge. The dry-scattered fermentation bed is divided into protective layer, core layer and bottom layer, the protective layer refers to the top 5 cm of the fermentation bed, mainly to protect the microbial strains of the fermentation bed in a relatively stable range, the temperature can reach more than 20 degrees. The bottom layer is the bottom 10 centimeters, the main function is to separate the fermentation bed from the ground, blocking external factors such as the ground is too wet, completely changing the traditional pig farming, pig life on the cold cement floor, sleeping on soft and comfortable cushions, growing fast and disease-free.

two。 Help to prevent diseases and strengthen the physique

(1) Green grass is rich in vitamins and a variety of trace elements, but in winter, sheep mainly feed on straw, which contains a lot of lignin and crude fiber, and has poor palatability. the absorption rate is low (the absorption rate of green straw is 60% 70% in summer and 40% 50% in winter). Coupled with the limited space for enclosure activities and lack of exercise, the physique of sheep becomes weaker and emaciated in winter. The decline of resistance will greatly increase the incidence of disease. On the other hand, the core fermentation layer of the dry-sprinkling fermentation bed has the function of decomposing feces, and more than 95% of the feces and urine are completed in this area and transformed into nutrients such as sugars, proteins, organic acids and vitamins that can be eaten by sheep. Sheep can effectively ingest nutrients through intake to supplement a single intake of missing nutrients.

(2) the functional bacteria on the fermentation mattress contain many kinds of beneficial microorganisms, such as crude protein and cell protein, which can keep fat and enhance their resistance after being eaten by sheep.

3. Save labor, clean and comfortable environment

As the captivity itself leads to the weakening of sheep's physique, coupled with the limited space for raising in the house, the disease is easy to spread. So it is very important to keep a clean and comfortable enclosure, but the cleaning and disinfection of sheep droppings is time-consuming and laborious, especially in winter, cleaning the enclosure is even more difficult. On the other hand, the environmental protection sheep raising mode of Gymboree dry sprinkling fermentation bed, the problem of fecal treatment no longer exists, and sheep feces have been decomposed and transformed by beneficial functional bacteria, and there is no need to use water to flush circles or manually clean up feces, which will not only not cause pollution due to fecal sewage, but also greatly save water and labor costs. Sheep are only in an odorless and fresh environment, which is more conducive to rapid and healthy growth.
