High temperature in summer affects sheep's appetite how to prevent sheep from losing fat

When it is hot in summer, the appetite of sheep will also become worse, and the sheep that can not eat feed will eventually lose fat, which will affect the efficiency of sheep breeding. So how to prevent goats from losing weight in the hot summer?

Sheep

First, increase nutrition

⑴ feeds high quality forage grass. Choose good palatable and nutritious forage such as green bean stalk, alfalfa and so on. Pay special attention to newly weaned lambs and pregnant ewes. ⑵ supplementation concentrate. Adult sheep are fed with about 200 grams of concentrate every day, and lambs that have just been weaned are fed with about 100 grams of concentrate every day. In every 100 grams of concentrate, cakes should account for 25%. If cotton cakes or vegetable cakes are added, they need to be detoxified. Method: soak in water for 24 hours, and then rinse with clean water. ⑶ is fed with salt. Add 0.2 grams per kilogram of sheep body weight to maintain acid-base balance in sheep. ⑷ increased drinking water. In the hot season, the water basin keeps running water, so that the sheep can drink freely.

II. Suitable management

⑴ sheep house management. In summer, do a good job of heat prevention and cooling in the sheep shed. At the bottom of the north and south wall of the sheep house, open an air convection window; set up a sunshade facing the sun; such as a flat tile roof, you can brush it with white lime or cover a sunshade. In addition, screen doors and windows to prevent flies and mosquitoes should also be installed. ⑵ grazes in the morning and evening. Put in early and return late. Before 9 o'clock in the morning, the sheep return to rest, and after 5 o'clock in the afternoon, they go out for grazing. ⑶ was supplemented at night. The supplementary feed at about 10:00 at night requires not only quantity but also quality. ⑷ sets the material trough. No matter it is the flat culture method or the elevated method, in order to satisfy the sheep to pick forage grass to the maximum extent and prevent waste, the material trough must be set up. ⑸ dried forage and green. Sheep overeat forage grass with high water content, easy to diarrhea and abdominal distension, house feeding should be dry and green, hay is the best choice of hay, sweet potato vine and peanut vine. When feeding, first feed hay, then feed green grass.

III. Prevention and treatment of diseases

⑴ repels worms regularly. Avermectin 0.02 ml per kilogram of summer sheep body weight was injected to get rid of parasites. ⑵ prevents and treats diarrhea. When the sheep have diarrhea, let the sheep take 2 80,000 units of gentamicin on an empty stomach in the morning for 2 days. ⑶ vaccination. Sheep that have not been vaccinated with W vaccine or sheep pox vaccine must be vaccinated.
