Technical points of High-foot Sheep Culture

Those who have raised sheep all know that goats have one child a year, and the kind of sheep introduced by the pro-farm network today can produce two births a year, which can be regarded as a kind of high yield in all kinds of sheep, which is not achieved through some special breeding technique. but this kind of sheep itself can achieve two births a year, this is the high-footed sheep. What the pro-agricultural network wants to introduce to you today is the technical points about the breeding of high-footed sheep.

When it comes to high-footed sheep, I don't know if you are familiar with it. Here, the pro-agricultural network will first introduce to you the knowledge about tall sheep. High-footed goat is an excellent meat goat breed, which has strong adaptability, tolerance to rough feeding, high feed conversion rate, early sexual maturity of high-footed goats, and rams generally show sexual behavior at the age of 3-4 months. but it can only be sexually mature at the age of 5-6 months. when the goats are 3-4 months old, the first estrus is about 20 days and lasts for 46 hours, and it can be in estrus all the year round. The high-footed sheep has good reproductive performance, the gestation period is about 145 days, and can give birth to two babies a year, the lambing rate is high, the first lamb can reach more than 160%, the lamb is more than 210%, when the lamb is born, the average weight of the male lamb is 2.1 kg, the female lamb is 2 kg, and this kind of sheep is specially bred for food, so the meat is tender and delicious. Widely praised in the market, the following is a specific introduction to the technical points of breeding high-footed sheep.

I. Construction of sheep shed

If you want to raise tall sheep well, you must first build a suitable living environment for them. The selection and construction of sheep farms need to be planned according to the number and development scale of existing sheep, as well as the status of funds and the degree of mechanization. At the same time, local conditions should be fully considered and production costs should be reduced. The sheep house should be built in a place with high terrain, good drainage, dry ventilation, sunny light and adequate water supply. As for the construction of building-style sheephouses, the sheephouses are generally 4-6 meters wide and 2-3 meters high, and their length depends on the number of sheep raised. The area of the sheephouses is calculated on the basis of 1.2 to 1.5 square meters per adult sheep. A sports ground is built next to the sheephouses, and trees are planted around them for shade. The floor is nailed into a bed with a spacing of 1 cm to 1.5 cm with wooden strips, bamboo strips or thin wooden sticks, so that feces and urine fall on the ground. The sheep bed can be divided into columns and can also be made into movable panels. The requirements and design of the house should be as follows: the house is divided into ram pen, ewe pen, lamb pen, fattening pen, grass rack, feeding trough and drinking water equipment. The grass frame is set up with wooden strips against the wall in the house, which is about 1 meter high and has a feeding gap of 15 centimeters wide. The material trough can be made of cement or wood, generally 25 cm wide, 22 cm wide and 10 cm 15 cm deep. The bottom of the trough is curved, and it is best to leave an outward outlet hole. Drinking water equipment is set up along the wall, automatic drinking fountains can be selected, one can be installed every 3 meters, and drinking buckets can also be placed in the house without drinking fountains.

Second, moderate scale breeding

The appropriate scale of high-foot sheep breeding depends on many factors, such as farmers' investment ability, market price, forage area, feeding and management conditions, male-female ratio and so on. The practice shows that the minimum scale of breeding ewes should not be less than 20, and the appropriate scale should be 40-50 ewes. It is suitable for professional large households to control the breeding scale at 100 to 200. When raising high-footed sheep in rural mountainous areas, summer grazing should come out early and return early, and grazing can be done at 9 o'clock in the morning. Let the sheep rest and graze in the enclosure from 11:00 to 3pm, and graze at 7pm in the afternoon. Sheep should be supplied with enough salt and clean drinking water when they return to the pen. The sheep were fed with mixed feed (wheat bran, corn meal, bean cake plus rice bran and straw meal) once or twice a day, while grazing sheep were fed with brine for 4 or 6 times a day.

III. Epidemic prevention management

Although the diseases of high-footed sheep are less and better to feed, it is also necessary to do a good job in disease prevention and treatment, and vaccinate them in time in accordance with the immunization procedures of sheep. Sheep houses should be disinfected regularly; at present, parasitic diseases also restrict the development of sheep industry. Sheep with internal and external parasitic diseases are becoming thinner and thinner, even causing death, and the lighter ones are also wasting away to varying degrees due to the consumption of sheep nutrition, resulting in hindering the growth and development of young sheep, decreasing the reproduction rate of adult sheep, and reducing the output of wool and mutton. Sheepskin quality is damaged, so we must also pay attention to the prevention and control of sheep parasitic diseases in vivo and in vivo.

The above are the key points of the breeding technology of the tall sheep sorted out by the pro-agricultural network for everyone. The high-foot sheep belongs to a breeding industry with high economic returns, and its main consumption object is the food industry. Some high-end restaurants pay more than 60 yuan per kilogram of this kind of mutton, so it can be seen that the prospect of the planting market for the development of high-footed sheep in rural areas is still quite good, and interested farmers can try to raise it.
