The rich forage grass in autumn is suitable for the feeding and management of sheep in autumn.

Since the beginning of autumn, the weather has changed greatly and the temperature difference is also large. Sheep farmers should manage their sheep well. Autumn is the golden season of ewe breeding. In order to improve the lambing rate and meat production rate, we must do a good job in five tasks:

Sheep

First, do a good job of mating. In autumn, ewes have good fat condition, normal estrus, more ovulation, easy to conceive and conducive to fetal development. Good mating of ewes can improve the conception rate and lambing rate. Ewes at the age of one and a half can be bred. Ewe performance of oestrus: diet, singing restless, vulva redness and swelling, vaginal discharge, frequent tail shaking, estrus lasting about 12 days, about 30 hours after estrus, the best breeding.

The second is to grasp the replenishment. Sheep grazing during the day should be fed with nutritious and palatable concentrate at night to promote growth and fattening. In the middle stage of pregnancy, each ewe was supplemented with 0.2kg / kg concentrate per day and 0.45kg / day in the later stage, while in the early stage of lactating ewes, each ewe was supplemented with 0.5kg concentrate per day, which was reduced to 0.3kg / kg / day in the middle stage and 0.7kg / day in the second stage of lactation. Forbidden to feed moldy and spoiled forage grass, provide enough drinking water and add the right amount of salt.

Third, do a good job of grazing. Early autumn morning and evening cool noon hot, grazing, should be early grazing, noon summer, late harvest, grazing time can be appropriately extended; middle and late autumn frost weather, late grazing late harvest; frost-free weather, early grazing and late harvest. Do not drink sewage, drink well water or spring water twice a day. Grazing in late autumn should be kept warm, and sheep in mountainous areas should be grazed on sunny slopes with good forage growth.

The fourth is to protect the fetus. Strictly prevent pregnant sheep from being frightened, do not allow pregnant sheep to run or jump into ditches, etc., especially when entering or leaving the ring door or supplementary feeding, prevent each other from squeezing each other; do not feed moldy, spoiled or poisonous forage grass, and strictly prohibit drinking cold water on an empty stomach; in the later stage of pregnancy, vaccination is strictly prohibited. For ewes with habitual or congenital abortion, timely injection of veterinary fetal protection needle is appropriate.

Fifth, we should do a good job in epidemic prevention. Before the sheep are mated, the sheep are repelled with levamisole or albendazole and injected with vaccination (bacterial vaccine) to prevent infectious diseases. The sheep house residue and grass should be removed frequently, keep dry and clean, and disinfect regularly with 2% fire alkali solution, 3% carbolic acid and 2% formalin solution. Often brush the sheep to promote blood circulation and enhance disease resistance. If the sheep eat regenerated grass and legume grass and occur abdominal distension and poisoning, should be punctured and deflated in the ribs in time, give the sheep an one-time oral administration of 5 grams of fish fat and 20 milliliters of alcohol, adding 100 milliliters of water.
