Fattening techniques of Sheep breeding

Sheep are docile and timid, easy to domesticate, and are now farmed all over the world. They are highly adaptable to the environment and have strong resistance, so they are deeply loved by farmers. In order to raise sheep well and maximize the economic benefits, many farmers will adopt fattening technology. Let's take a look at sheep fattening technology.

1. Sheep barn preparation

The sheep shed for fattening should have good ventilation, keep the ground dry and clean, warm in winter and cool in summer, prevent temperature changes caused by seasonal changes from affecting sheep fattening, and cushion grass on the floor of the sheep house. In addition, the sheep shed must be spacious and brightly lit, so that each sheep has enough space to rest and lie down, and enough grooves should be prepared. The length of the trough should be commensurate with the number of sheep, generally the length of adult sheep is in 50cm, and the length of lambs is in 30cm.

2. Pre-fattening management

Epidemic prevention measures should be taken before fattening. When the sheep enter the fattening shed, isolation observation should be carried out for half a month. After confirming their health, they should be put into the sheep shed for fattening. When fattening, they should be raised in groups according to age, sex, physical size, physical strength and so on. In addition, for ram fattening, castration can be considered according to its breed and age. generally, the castrated ram grows faster, and the meat quality does not have that smell, so it is more popular in the market.

3. Feeding method

Before feeding, preparing adequate forage and feed is the basis of fattening. Generally, each sheep should prepare 2kg forage or silage 5kg and mixed concentrate 0.4kg every day when fattening. Feed according to the intake of sheep to determine the amount of feed, how much to eat, must not be more, one is a waste of feed, the other is to avoid gluttony, causing indigestion and gastrointestinal problems, which is not conducive to the growth of sheep. In feeding, an appropriate amount of salt can be added to the feed, which can promote the appetite of sheep, increase food intake and gain fat quickly. When fattening, do not bury the sheep or add antipsychotics, hormones and other illegal drugs in the feed, use drugs in the later fattening period, must strictly implement the drug withdrawal period, only after the drug withdrawal period, can be listed on the market. In addition to adequate feed when fattening, it is also necessary to ensure adequate clean drinking water, which can promote digestion and reduce gastrointestinal diseases. Drinking water in summer should be protected from the sun and need to be changed frequently, so as to avoid deterioration and pollution of drinking water, and anti-freezing in winter.

4. Fattening season

Only by mastering the time of fattening can you improve the economic benefits, otherwise, even if you succeed in fattening, you will find that the market is cold, and you still can't make money. Winter and Spring Festival is the best-selling period for mutton every year, when the market demand is huge and the price is good, so it is the best time to fattening in autumn, and the climate is mild in autumn. the method of forage and crop straw can provide a large number of feed sources.
