Enclosure construction requirements and feeding management for raising sheep

Whether the sheepfold building is reasonable or not is closely related to the growth and development of sheep. For a long time, the agricultural sheep raising in our county is stocked, the ground circle is covered with grass and fertilizer, some sheep and cattle are in the same circle, the enclosure is humid, the sun is insufficient, goats often get sick, spring and summer develop, autumn fat and winter die, causing great losses to sheep farmers. The main reason is that the enclosure building is not scientific and standard, and the management is poor. In order to ensure the healthy growth and breeding of goats and promote the development of sheep industry, the author formulates the building requirements of goat pens according to the climatic conditions and living habits of goats in this county, which can be used as a reference for agricultural sheep breeding. The basic requirements of the sheep house are ventilated and dry, sanitary and clean, cool in summer and warm in winter. Sheep sheds are divided into sheep sheds and sheep sheds, and their architectural purposes are different. The shepherd is only for the sheep to rest and sleep, there is no playground, no feed, no grass rack. The goat is lively and active, and the captive sheep house requires a certain area of sports ground, otherwise, because the movement space of the sheep is small and the movement of the sheep is insufficient, it not only affects the growth of the sheep, but also brings a series of diseases to the sheep. Therefore, the captive sheep house should not only have a rest and sleep place with good ventilation, strong warmth, dry hygiene, but also build a sports ground outside the sheep house, which is 2 to 3 times the area of the sheep house, so as to facilitate flock activities and sunbathing, to ensure the health and growth needs of sheep, and is conducive to large-scale breeding and intensive management of captive goats. The weight gain of goat house is fast, which is 2% higher than the daily weight gain of grazing. Adult sheep can be sold after fattening for 60 days, which can improve the economic benefit of raising sheep. 2 the sheep house building 2.1 the sheep house building should be located in the center of the pasture, with near water source, convenient transportation, open terrain, warm winter and cool summer, good drainage and a flat ground on the south slope with a certain slope. 2.2 Sheep House Building Standard due to the rainy and humid climate of Guizhou Province, it is better to build a building-type sheep house. The 2mm door width of the inner building 1mm sheep shed wall high 1.2mm is open or the glass window is open outward, which is beneficial to adjust the indoor temperature. the floor is 0.8-1.5m above the ground and 45 °oblique to the outside house, so as to facilitate the flow of sheep feces and urine into the dung tank. The length of the sheep shed depends on the scale and site of raising sheep, but it should be divided into several cubicles of 4 × 3m so as to facilitate the classification and management of sheep. The sheep bed can be laid with wood strips of wide 10cm and thick 3.5cm, slightly sloping, and the gap is apart from 1~1.5cm, so that sheep feces and urine can be dripped smoothly under the bed and keep the sheep clean all day long. The playground should be closely connected to the sheep house, with brick walls and partition walls on three sides, with a height of 1.5m to prevent sheep from escaping, and the playground floor should be treated with cement, requiring a flat and 2 °slope, with ditches all around, no stagnant water in the field, and keep it clean and dry. 2.3 the sheephouse area can be designed according to the breeding scale, the area is too large to cause waste, too small is not conducive to large-scale production. Usually, the area of each sheep house is calculated according to 1 square meter, the breeding ram and ewe are calculated according to 2 square meters each, the breeding ram and ewe houses should be built separately, the lambing house can be built according to 20% of the basic ewes, and the area of the sports ground is generally 2 '2.5 times the area of the sheep house. A large number of sheep, the width of the site can build a double-row sheepfold, a single-row sheepfold can be built when the number is small or the site width is less than 6m, and the single-row can be built according to half of the size of the double-row. 2.4 the feed trough and grass rack are used for feeding water and salt, which can be set up separately or combined into a combined forage rack. It is most practical to nail a long movable trough with a plank. Generally, the material trough is 2m long, high 20cm, upper wide 35cm, lower wide 30cm. It is generally placed outside the sheep house so that the sheep's foot does not step into the rack and the material does not fall on the sheep body.
