In winter, mutton sheep are easy to lose fat and add salt to keep warm.

Sheep

First, live in a warm ring to prevent a cold: as the saying goes, "the circle is warm and three parts fat". Before winter, the sheepfold should be repaired, and the sheep house should be kept warm. To prevent the invasion of thieves, doors and windows are sealed with plastic film, grass curtains are hung at night, and the ground should be dry to prevent cold and damp. If the sheep house is ventilated and too cold in many places, the sheep's own feed consumption will increase, and no matter how well it is fed, it will be difficult to keep the winter fat. Therefore, the most effective way to reduce the heat loss of sheep is to repair the warm house. In the cold winter, letting the mutton sheep live in a warm enclosure can greatly reduce the heat loss of the sheep, prevent the sheep from catching cold, prevent colds, and ensure the safety of mutton sheep through the winter.

Second, prepare enough forage to protect winter fat: sheep are herbivores and should be fed mainly with grass. In order to preserve the fat condition of winter sheep, they should prepare enough fodder for winter sheep. According to the number of sheep and the number needed, a variety of grass, hay, leaves, vegetables, vegetable leaves, crop straw and so on should be widely collected, which can be ammoniated, alkalized, stored and fed, and can also be used to make silage and fermented feed. Corn, barley, wheat bran, cake meal and distiller's grains in the concentrate are all good fodder for sheep.

Third, skillful winter feeding night: most of the winter ewes are pregnant, although the weather is cold, but can not always lie still, otherwise it is disadvantageous to pregnant sheep and fetus, should be combined with grazing, appropriate exercise, but also can save forage grass. Sheep herding in winter should be grazed in low-lying, warm ditches against the wind to prevent strong winds. Sheep herding in winter should go out late and return early, go out grazing in the face of the wind, and return to grazing with the wind. It is warmer in the middle of the day because of late departure and early return. Grazing against the wind can prevent the hair from blowing away, which is good for keeping warm, such as grazing during the day is not enough to eat, come back at night to feed night food. Sheep are ruminants with strong digestion, so they can be fed with night grass, concentrate and appropriate mineral feed to meet the dual needs of breeding sheep, pregnant sheep and fetus.

Fourth, salt appetizer water to drink full: some people say that it is difficult to raise winter sheep, salt water love fat. It means that although it is difficult to raise sheep, as long as salt is added to the sheep's drinking water, the sheep will eat more grass and drink water, and it will be easy to fatten up. Salt appetites, aids digestion, sheep is not easy to bloat, eat well, the disease is less. If insufficient drinking water, sheep louver (stomach flap) and nose will be dry, do not like to eat grass, easy to get louver disease. But sheep can not drink too cold water, let alone drink ice water, because it is cold in winter, and then drink a stomach of cold water, will make the body temperature drop suddenly, easy to catch a cold and have a fever. Especially pregnant sheep, can not stand, easy to miscarriage, so it is best to drink warm water.

Fifth, to ensure safety and anti-flow lambs: in winter, the road is slippery with cold and snow, and the ewe is pregnant, so we should pay attention to protecting the fetus. When grazing, you should guard against shock, slipping, do not walk steep slopes, but ditches. Prevent the interference of wild dogs so as not to frighten and blow up the group. Pregnant sheep go in and out of the cage door to prevent crowding, so as to ensure the safety of pregnant sheep and avoid abortion. Grazing pregnant sheep, do not be too far from home, to prevent too tired, once you encounter ewes lambing, you can deal with it in time.
