Matters needing attention in fattening lambs

In order to improve profits, many farms will continue to fatten the lambs, improve the high-quality feed when the lambs are about two months old, and then strengthen the feeding and management, so that the body weight of the lambs can reach half of that of the adult sheep around May. And at this time, the lamb meat is extremely delicate, not greasy, high protein and low fat, very popular in the market, high economic benefits. But in fattening should also grasp the correct time method, otherwise fattening will fail, the following pro-agricultural net to bring lamb fattening points for attention.

1. Hybrid fattening

The lamb that chooses fattening had better be the hybrid lamb, the so-called hybrid lamb refers to the sheep born by the breeding of different breeds of sheep. Under the same feeding environment and management, the hybrid lamb has a greater advantage. first of all, its birth weight is higher than that of purebred lambs, and its survival rate is higher and its growth and development is fast. It is suitable for quick hurdle after fattening.

2. Strengthen the feeding and management of ewes

The weight of the newborn lamb is closely related to the nutritional status of the ew. in addition, the milk secretion of the ewe is also related to the nutritional status, so in order to fatten up quickly, the feeding and management of the ewe must be strengthened. improve high-quality feed in the late pregnancy and early lactation to pave the way for the provision of high-quality lambs.

3. Food inducement and tonic

After half a month after birth, the lamb can be induced to eat, train it to eat forage and let it graze or feed with the ewe. The lamb will imitate the ewe to pick forage. But the fodder eaten by the lamb must be of high quality, such as alfalfa hay, fried soybeans, and not in such a hurry. Take your time, exercise its rumen function, and slowly increase the proportion and weight of fine feeding as it feeds.

4. Weaning in time

If you want to fatten quickly, early weaning is also essential, control to shorten the lactation period of ewes, lambs are weaned earlier, and ewes breed and give birth earlier, so as to achieve the goal of more than one year and improve economic benefits.

5. Deworming

The physical function of the lamb is not as good as that of the adult sheep, and its intestines and stomach still need to grow slowly, at this time, it is very easy to be infected with parasites, causing diarrhea and weak symptoms of the lamb, and in serious cases, it can also cause death and reduce the feed conversion rate, so it is necessary to get rid of worms before it is necessary to fatten up quickly.
