Management techniques of Sheep breeding

Sheep has a plump body and dense wool. in addition to being eaten as mutton sheep, with the development of the textile industry, its wool is also constantly used in textile, which is an important textile raw material with high economic value. When raising sheep, in addition to the two key points of aspects and feeding, we also need to master other feeding and management techniques in order to raise sheep well. Let's come to the pro-agricultural network to have a look at sheep breeding and management techniques.

1. Cut off the tail

Tail amputation is mainly carried out in long-tailed sheep, which is for cleaning and breeding, the tail is too long, the sanitary cleaning of the tail is not convenient, it is easy to breed germs, infect diseases, and is not conducive to breeding. The time of cutting off the tail can be carried out during the lamb period, 7-10 days after the lamb is born. the method is to have a rubber band that is common in our lives. Tie the rubber band one inch of the root of the lamb tail, be sure to tie it tightly, and then apply iodine or disinfectant. About a month and a half later, the tail withered and fell off due to poor blood flow and insufficient nutritional supply.

2. Castration

Castration refers to the ligation or castration of a ram that is not a breeder, in order to reduce the incidence of disease, improve resistance and rapid growth, which is conducive to fat gain and fat retention. It is also carried out during the lamb period, two weeks after the lamb is born, or using rubber tendons as a tool to fasten the spermatic cord, which can dry up and fall off after about 20 days, and the testicles can also be removed by surgery.

3. Trim the hoof

When raising sheep, long-term house feeding will lead to abnormal hoof growth, which will skew to one side and affect the walking activities and feeding of sheep. Therefore, during the transition of spring and summer every year, the growth of sheep's hoof should be checked in time, and the sheep with abnormal growth of sheep's hoof should be trimmed. The pruning method is to soften the sheep's hooves after rain or soak in water, and then put the sheep on the ground. Pruning and pruning should not be over-trimmed at one time, so as not to hurt the sheep. For those with incorrect hoof shape, they can be corrected after many pruning.

4. Medicine bath

Medicine bath is to eliminate parasites on the body surface of sheep and prevent skin diseases. The time of medicine bath is generally carried out in sunny weather of 7-10 days after shearing. More sheep in medicine bath need to trim the bath, while less sheep in medicine bath can be carried out with basin or tong.

5. Deworming

Deworming is mainly to eliminate parasites in the intestines and stomach of sheep, and the harm of gastrointestinal parasites is greater. When the disease is serious, it will lead to weakening of sheep food intake, gradual weight loss, and death, causing certain economic losses to farmers. Deworming is generally carried out in spring and summer, and special insecticides are available for feeding. According to the proportion of 20 mg per kilogram, the deworming effect is excellent.

The above is the sheep breeding management technology brought by the pro-agricultural network, so much for the introduction of sheep breeding management. If you want to know more, please pay attention to the pro-agricultural network.
