Technical video of raising sheep

Sheep raising technology mainly includes feeding and management technology, disease prevention and control technology, mating and breeding technology, lamb feeding and management technology, forage processing technology and enclosure construction and so on.

Sheep house construction

The sheephouse should choose a feeding area of 10 Mel 20 square meters in front of the sheephouse where the terrain is high and dry and the sun is leeward, and fixed feeding trough and drinking water utensils should be installed. There should be drains on the outside, and bamboo mats or cement should be laid inside the house. In winter, plastic film should be used to buckle the shed in cold areas, which can increase the temperature of sheep shed by 4 ℃ 7 min, which is beneficial to the growth of sheep. Take turns to choose different types of disinfectants, such as 20% lime milk, 10% bleach solution, etc., to disinfect sheep houses, playgrounds, feeding troughs, drinking utensils, feeding tools and enclosures regularly.

Partition management

According to the mode of industrial production, sheep of different ages, different breeds and different physical conditions should be raised in separate houses, and special delivery rooms and lamb houses, mutton sheds, ewe houses, ram houses, sick sheep isolation houses should be set up, and matched with corresponding feeding and management measures.

Breeding sheep selection

According to local conditions, excellent varieties with large size, fast growth, high reproduction rate, strong adaptability, good meat quality and high benefit were selected. The choice of male parent is South African Boer goat, followed by Horse head Goat in China, and female parent can choose Saaneng Milk Goat, Hebei White Goat and so on.

Mating management

Regularly exchange breeding rams from other places, give ear numbers to male and female sheep for breeding and compile breeding files, record in detail the serial number, mating time, breeding mode and lambing situation of breeding sheep, and control the breeding of male and female sheep in a planned manner. to avoid breed degradation caused by inbreeding.

Large-scale culture

The appropriate scale of raising sheep can be determined according to the amount of arable land available to the family, the amount of forage feed, labor and the amount of funds invested. Generally, it is appropriate to raise about 20 ewes that can breed, with an annual income of up to 10,000 yuan. As families may not be able to come up with so much money at once, do not covet the scale at the beginning of breeding, but constantly explore and sum up breeding experience and take a snowball approach to development.

Density management

Sheep is a ruminant, which spends a long time in the day picking forage and ruminating. Therefore, there should be enough trough and activity space in the sheep's enclosure, and each sheep should have 1. 5Mutual 2. 5 square meters of activity space.

Feed collocation

Sheep are livestock that mainly eat coarse feed and supplemented by concentrate. The best way to raise sheep on a large scale is to "recommend raising sheep" so that you can eat fresh grass all the year round. Sheep farmers should open up special land for green feed and artificially plant forage grasses such as alfalfa and ryegrass. In addition to feeding grass in summer and autumn, grass can also be dried in the sun or made into silage to feed sheep after harvest in autumn. Corn can also be planted for silage for sheep to feed all the year round. When preparing concentrate feed, we should not only have a certain amount of corn, but also match protein feed such as soybean meal, wheat bran, fish meal and bone meal in proportion. In addition, if an appropriate amount of rumen metabolic regulators, urea sustained-release agents and other compound feed additives were added, the benefit would be better. In addition, large-scale sheep breeding must have clean drinking water for sheep to drink.

Disease and epidemic prevention

Goats raised in groups are prone to disease, mainly lamb dysentery, streptococcosis, infectious pustules, nematodes, sheep lice and so on. In order to implement the policy of "prevention is more important than cure", we should also do a good job in vaccination and comprehensive prevention and treatment of key diseases.

Daily management

Large-scale sheep breeding should be based on self-breeding and reasonable grouping. If grazing, it is necessary to divide the area and rotate grazing. And pay attention to brushing, foot repair and other management work.

Castration and fattening

Lambs used for fattening should be castrated within 21 days after birth. Castration at this time is conducive to improve the quality of meat, and make it docile, easy to manage, rapid fattening.
