Captive rearing technique of Boer Goat

Traditionally, goats are mainly grazed, but they are restricted by grazing land in plain agricultural areas, which hinders the development of goat breeding. Agricultural areas are rich in crop straw and by-products and other resource advantages, if you can master certain technology, the development of goat captivity is completely feasible.

Requirements and Design of Sheep House

The fence house should be built in a place where it is convenient to dry, ventilated and drained, facing south, and the area is calculated according to the predetermined production scale, each sheep (suitable for breeding ewe and breeder ram) needs 1.2mi 1.5 square meters. The sheep bed is 1 meter above the ground and is tied into a leaky sheep bed with slats or bamboo strips. The grass frame is set up by bamboo strips in the temple, with a feeding gap of 15 centimeters wide, and the grass frame is about 1 meter high. Material trough can be made of cement or wood long trough, generally 25 cm wide, 22 cm wide, 24 cm deep, the bottom of the trough is curved, it is best to leave an outward outlet hole. Raising sheep must be athletic, slightly inclined, planted with deciduous trees, shady in summer and sunny in winter.

Feed requirement

The main concentrate that can be used to feed sheep are sweet potato vines, peanut vines, soybean stalks, vegetable leaves, weeds, forage grasses, leaves and so on. The supply of green feed must be guaranteed, and the amount of feed can account for 80% and 90% of the total feed.

Roughage mainly refers to mature crop straw, blighted shell and so on. Roughage should not be too much, otherwise it will affect the feed intake and health of sheep, generally less than 30%, conditional ammoniation, alkalization and other treatment. In the peak season of green materials, the inexhaustible green materials should generally be less than 30%, and if possible, ammoniation, alkalization and so on should be carried out. In the peak season of green material, endless green material should be made into silage for use in the off-season. Captive sheep should also be initially filled with some concentrate, especially young sheep and pregnant, lactating ewes, breeding rams, mutton sheep before going out, etc. In the concentrate, general grains account for 40%, 60%, proteins for 10%, 25%, bran for 20%, 30%, minerals for 3%, and urea can be added to 1%. When feeding, it is appropriate to thicken before fine, dry first and then green.

Feeding and management

Put the forage on the grass rack, let the sheep feed freely, ensure adequate clean drinking water, insist on regular and quantitative feeding, achieve less and more times, generally add grass and water 3 times a day for 4 times.

Epidemic prevention and health care

① regular deworming: spring and autumn once each; alternately use imidazole tablets and albendazole tablets 100mg per kilogram of sheep body re-use drug, one-time administration. In areas where trematodes are prevalent, nitrochlorophenol tablets are used to disinfect worms once a year in Lesser Fullness of Grain and Frosts Descent respectively.

② medicine bath: medicine bath more than twice a year, generally can use 1% trichlorfon or 0.5% formaldehyde solution or 500 × 10 ℃ 6 amitraz solution to clear the weather; the water temperature is about 35 min, let the sheep bathe in the medicine solution for 1 min.

③ to improve environmental hygiene: clean the sheep shed, clean the material trough and sink every day. Fill up the water depressions around the sheep house and sports to make the urination ditch smooth and do not accumulate water. Use high-efficiency and low-toxic mosquito repellent or smoke mosquito repellent. Every spring, summer and autumn, the sheep shed and sports were sprayed with 200 × 10 Mel solution to get rid of mites and ticks.

④ epidemic prevention: do a good job in vaccination and comprehensive prevention of important infectious diseases such as sheep streptococcosis, brucellosis, No. 5 disease, infectious pustular stomatitis, infectious pleurisy and so on. Disinfect enclosures and appliances with 10% Mel, 20% quicklime or 30% hot plant ash water on a regular basis.
