Advantages of raising sheep in mountainous areas of Guizhou

China has gradually shifted the focus of sheep production (especially mutton sheep production) from pastoral areas to mountainous areas, which is also of great benefit to the growth of sheep, which is mainly determined by the great pressure faced by pastoral areas and the unique characteristics of mountain areas. Guizhou is a mountainous province, for Guizhou mountain sheep can be divided into the following three advantages.

First, the climate in the mountainous areas of Guizhou is relatively mild, Rain Water is also abundant, the soil is fertile, the plant growth period is good, and there are many sources of forage, which provides a lot of material basis for raising sheep.

Second, the natural conditions in the mountainous areas of Guizhou are also relatively superior, and the level of sheep production is high. Most of the sheep breeds in mountain areas have excellent reproductive performance, such as early sexual maturity, four seasons of estrus, multiple births and so on. the reproductive efficiency is twice as high as that in pastoral areas, and the production efficiency of sheep in the whole year is also higher than that in pastoral areas.

Third, raising sheep in Guizhou mountain areas is generally based on house feeding, which not only does not cause ecological problems, but also has great benefits to the healthy development of agriculture. Raising sheep in crop straw house can not only reduce the air pollution caused by straw burning, but also provide a large amount of high-quality organic fertilizer for the planting industry, which is also beneficial to the sustainable development of agriculture.
