Points for attention in raising sheep

So attract more and more people to get rich. So what do you need to pay attention to in raising sheep? the following pro-agricultural network has come to pay attention to raising sheep for you.

1. Breeding sheep selection

Raising sheep is generally to buy their own breeding sheep to breed on their own, which can reduce breeding costs and increase profits, but also avoid pathogens brought by new sheep. So how to choose the breed of sheep, there are many breeds of sheep, each breed has its advantages and disadvantages, according to the breeding environment and market sales to select healthy breeder sheep. Sheep raising can not blindly follow the trend, can not look at others to raise sheep after making money, follow to raise sheep, this kind of situation will often lose money.

2. Culture scale

If they are farmers who have just come into contact with this industry, they have less experience, and they are unable to cope with many emergencies, so it is recommended to raise them on a small scale, raise 10 or so sheep first, and slowly accumulate breeding experience and learn breeding knowledge. Then slowly expand the scale of breeding, rather than want to eat a big fat man, raise dozens of hundreds of sheep, this will only lose all their money.

3. Feeding

Sheep diet is very critical, drinking water should be clean river water, spring water, well water, each sheep need to drink 2-5kg a day, so drinking water should be adequate, in addition, drinking warm water in winter can relatively save some concentrate. Feed must be evenly matched, between grazing and grasslands and mountains and forests in rural areas, but pay attention to feeding salt, salt is an indispensable mineral feed for sheep growth, grazing alone can not supplement the required minerals. In addition, during pregnancy, ewes should not be fed with acidic feed, such as distiller's grains, vinegar dregs, silage and so on, otherwise it is easy to cause ewes to have a miscarriage.

4. Deworming and disease prevention

Sheep are easily infected with parasites during their growth, resulting in slow growth, reduced immunity and serious death, so regular deworming and medicine baths are required every year. In addition, the environment of the sheep house should be clean and dry, clean the breeding area on time every day, disinfect the site with lime, and vaccinate the sheep.

5. Male and female separate circles

Rams and ewes had better be kept separately in captivity, which can not only avoid inbreeding, but also breed good breeders. Because many breeders do not keep good records, ewes cannot be artificially assisted during pregnancy, resulting in low survival rate of lambs and affecting production.
