What is the cross generation of Boer goat?

The Boer ram is mated with the ewe of the local goat, and the offspring are called the hybrid generation. The male lambs in the hybrid generation are fattened and put on the market, and the female lambs are selected and then mated with Boer rams, which is progressive hybridization. Through progressive hybridization, the consanguinity components of Boer sheep are more and more, and the production performance of Boer sheep is closer and closer to that of Boer sheep, which is an effective way to improve the production performance of local sheep, especially in rural areas. this is an effective way to improve local goats. Another advantage of progressive crossbreeding is that the sheep bred in this way can better adapt to our local conditions.

The second and third generations of local goats after continuous crossbreeding with Boer goats are basically close to Boer goats in appearance and wool color.

In other words, the higher the generation of Boer goat, the closer to Boer goat, of course, this is not infinitely high, too high, local goat adaptability and other genes will be weakened, affecting the local growth of Boer goat hybrid breeds. the characteristics of Boer goats are too low to be properly highlighted.

What are the growth performance and quality of Boer goat?

The body height of adult Boer goat was 75 cm and 65 cm, respectively, and the body weight was 95 120 kg and 65 kg, respectively. The slaughtering rate was higher, with an average of 48.3%. Boer goat, which can maintain production value until the age of 10, is a world-famous goat that produces high-quality lean meat. In addition, the skin quality of Boer goat is excellent, which is the best leather raw material.

1. Fecundity and lambing rate: Boer goats are non-seasonal breeding livestock and can breed lambs in estrus all the year round. Ewes mature at the age of 6 months. Due to the high level of sex hormones in autumn, sexual activity is at its peak in autumn, but less in spring and summer. According to the lambing results of 100 ewes, there were 24 single lambs, 58 double lambs, 15 three lambs and 1 four lambs, and the average litter size was 1.93. The rams matured at the age of 6 months, with an average of 15 ewes under grazing and 30 ewes over 9 months of age. High lamb rate means increased meat yield per ewe and per unit area.

2. Disease resistance: Boer goats have rare disease resistance, such as blue tongue hydrocyanic acid poisoning and enterotoxemia.

3. Rough tolerance and adaptability: Boer goats survive longer than other animals without water supply and feed under drought conditions. It has a grazing habit and can feed on young trees and shrubs and plants that other animals do not eat. It feeds on a wide range of leaves and bark as high as 160 cm and forage as low as 10 cm. Therefore, it is suitable for mixed grazing with cattle to increase the meat yield per unit area of grazing land. In addition, because Boer goats have the habit of eating shrubs, they can be used to control the clumping and spread of shrubs. Boer goat has the roughness tolerance and adaptability mentioned above, which is suitable not only for raising in South Africa, but also for development in other countries. In China, in addition to Boer goats can be developed in areas rich in forage, many weeds and crop straws can be used as roughage for Boer goats.
