It is important to master the cross formula for the benefit of raising sheep on a large scale in rural areas.

Raising goats has the advantages of low investment, quick results and wide product market, while there are abundant feed resources in rural areas, such as crop straw, peanut seedlings, sweet potato seedlings and so on. However, there are also some problems in goat breeding, such as many diseases, lack of grass, difficult management and so on. Today, the editor teaches the sheep farmers the cross formula of raising goats.

Goat

Excellent. According to local conditions, choose excellent goat breeds with large size, fast growth, high reproduction rate, strong adaptability, good meat quality and high benefit. South African Boer goat is the first ram, followed by Matou goat, female goat is preferred Laoshan dairy goat, Wendeng dairy goat, followed by Lubei white goat.

It's appropriate. The scale of raising goats should be appropriate, depending on the amount of land cultivated by the family, the amount of forage feed, labor and the funds invested.

Material. Goat feed is mainly coarse feed, supplemented by concentrate. The best way to raise goats on a large scale is to "recommend raising sheep". Can sow alfalfa, Hercules sweet sorghum, leaf pine vanilla, Mexican corn, Rumex and other forage grass, so that goats can eat fresh grass all the year round.

water. Raise goats on a large scale, be sure to provide clean drinking water for goats.

Guard against. Goats raised in groups are prone to disease, mainly lamb dysentery, streptococcosis, No. 5 disease, nematodes, sheep lice and so on. All sheep have to go through two baths, two drives, four drinks and six meals all year round. That is, in spring and autumn, goats were bathed with 0.5% Mel 2% trichlorfon water and sulfur for 2 minutes; in spring and autumn, goats were treated with levamisole, Shengkexing or nitrochlorophenol twice, and health Chinese medicine was fed once a quarter, and salt was eaten once a bimonthly. At the same time, we should also do a good job in vaccination and comprehensive control of key diseases of goats.

Tube. Large-scale goat breeding should be based on self-breeding and reasonable grouping. If grazing, it is necessary to divide the area and rotate grazing. And pay attention to brush test, hoof repair and other management work.

Worker. Feed the grass with a grass rack, separate the grass from the sheep with a fence, leave a gap between the fence for the sheep's head to protrude, and feed and drink water with corresponding troughs and sinks, which not only reduce feed waste, but also conducive to health and epidemic prevention. Harvest, transport and process forage grass to achieve mechanization.

Give up. The inside of the house should be concrete or covered with bamboo mats, and there should be drains and suitable areas for goats outside. Sheep dung should be cleaned regularly and disinfected regularly with 20% lime milk and 10% bleach solution.

go. Lambs used for fattening should be castrated within 7-21 days after birth. Castration at this time is conducive to improve the quality of goat meat, and make it docile, easy to manage, rapid fattening.

Tim. While the goats are properly fed with concentrate feed, some additives such as rumen metabolic regulator and urea slow-release agent should be added to the feed for better benefit.
