The benefit of mutton is good, but raising sheep should be cautious. The basic principle of fattening winter meat sheep
With the improvement of people's dietary structure, the increase of mutton consumption and the rise of mutton breeding industry, mutton sheep need to follow many principles in the fattening process, especially in winter.

Mutton sheep
I. the principle of fattening groups:
Generally speaking, young sheep gain weight faster and fattening effect is better than old sheep. The lamb from 1 to 8 months old grows fast and mainly grows muscle. The weaning lamb is selected as fattening sheep, the meat quality is good and the benefit is high. Therefore, after weaning, the lambs that are not suitable for breeding are fattened in groups according to sex and body weight, and the eliminated adult mutton sheep are fattened in groups according to age and body weight, which is beneficial to the allocation of feed according to the different nutritional requirements of mutton sheep.
Second, highlight the principle of benefit:
Economic benefit is the key to measure the success or failure of fattening mutton sheep, rather than blindly pursuing the maximization of daily gain. Under the local conditions, seek the best benefit according to the law of the market. Especially under the condition of house feeding and fattening, the maximum weight gain of mutton sheep is often based on high concentrate diet, but the maximum weight gain does not mean the best economic benefit. Therefore, when setting the expected fattening intensity, take the best economic benefit as the yardstick. According to the feeding standard, combined with the growth and development characteristics of fattening mutton sheep, the diet composition, dietary supply or supplementary feeding quota should be determined and adjusted in time according to the actual weight gain effect.
Third, the principle of house feeding and fattening:
When the temperature is low, mainly high-quality dried grass or silage, a certain amount of refined feed such as corn bean cakes and succulent feed such as carrots and pumpkins can be fed every day to improve palatability and increase feed intake of mutton sheep. Let the sheep have enough to eat and drink in the warm barn, so that it can grow and develop rapidly and gain weight.
Fourth, the principle of timely slaughtering:
The production should be organized reasonably and the mutton sheep should be slaughtered in time. According to the growth and development stage at the beginning of fattening sheep, determine the length of fattening period, too short fattening, the effect is not obvious, too long, the feed reward is low, it is not economical. Therefore, when the mutton sheep reach a certain body weight after a certain period of time, they should be slaughtered or listed in time, instead of blindly pursuing the maximum weight of the sheep.
Fifth, the principle of scale determination:
The size of the fattening scale determines the profit. Generally speaking, the larger the scale, the more the profit, but in actual production, it is often counterproductive. Due to the blind purchase of sheep and the neglect of market operation and consumer carrying capacity, resulting in large scale and large losses, therefore, when determining the breeding scale, it is necessary to understand the meat consumption level and personal income in the place of sale. Use these to make a reliable prediction of the pre-sale price. The second is to pay attention to the prices of agricultural products related to animal husbandry, such as corn and soybeans, which directly affect feed prices and are also a barometer of meat prices; third, according to the quantity and total amount of forage and feed stored, determine the length and batches of the fattening period of mutton sheep. When fattening, under the reasonable and scientific combination of forage and feed, the general fattening period should be 60 cents for 70 days, with sports fattening time, depending on the fatness, size and daily weight gain rate of sheep entering the fattening fence. From the point of view of economic benefits, the fattening period had better be no more than 90 days.
