Matters needing attention in sheep breeding

Sheep is a common breed of sheep in China, mainly raised in Inner Mongolia, Xizang and lush grassland areas, its body is plump, luxuriant, is the main raw material of many sheep textiles, and docile, easy to raise. So what should we pay attention to when breeding? Let's take a look at the pro-farm network.

1. Drinking water

Keeping adequate drinking water is an essential work for raising sheep. The source of water can come from rivers, wells and springs. Note that ponds or polluted water sources are not drinkable. While those raised in the mountain areas generally have to drink water in the gullies, they must go downhill slowly, control the speed of the sheep, avoid trampling on the sheep, and do not let the sheep drink immediately after drinking in the end. Wait until you catch your breath before you start drinking. If the drinking water is well water, you should drink with it in winter, while in summer, you should use the sun first and then drink it.

2. Feeding

When raising, it is necessary to do a good job in the reserve of forage and fodder. in the cold season in winter, the forage withered and there is no source of forage, so it is necessary to do a good job in the reserve of forage and forage to ensure supply. Sheep should prepare appropriate feeding tools to reduce the waste of forage and improve the utilization rate of feed, which can be fed after chopping common vegetables such as carrots, potatoes and sugar beets. Whether it is forage and feed, it is necessary to ensure its freshness, do not feed moldy, deteriorated forage and feed. Attention should be paid to the proportion of concentrate and roughage when raising sheep. If sheep are grazed, concentrate feeding can be done twice in the morning and evening.

3. Feed salt

When raising sheep, in addition to ensuring adequate feed and drinking water, feeding salt is also an essential work, yes, you read it right, it is to feed salt. Salt can not only increase the sodium and chlorine needed for sheep growth, but also stimulate appetite, increase drinking water and consumption, accelerate the metabolism of sheep, and help to catch and keep fat. Generally speaking, each adult sheep needs to supply more than 10 grams of salt every day, while the lamb can be fed at 3-5 grams. It can be licked freely during feeding, or it can be fed by stirring in the feed.

4. Enclosure conditions

The environment of the sheep house must be dry, ventilated, warm and sanitary, and it should also be equipped with simple food troughs, grass racks and drinking water facilities. If conditions permit, plastic sheds can be added to keep warm. In addition, the enclosure must be regularly cleaned, frequently change the mat grass or mat soil, do a good job of disinfection, prevent the spread of bacteria and microorganisms, leading to sheep infection.
