Common problems of Sheep breeding in Rural areas

In the rural areas of our country, farmers generally give priority to planting and breeding. In the past, science and technology were not advanced, and few people went to learn professional knowledge to raise sheep, but now, agricultural science and technology are becoming more and more common, but few people engage in breeding. Many professionals have taken root in the city and do not go back. The following is to answer the problems of raising sheep in rural areas for you.

Poor consciousness of scientific breeding

Many professional sheep farmers have not received professional technical training at all, know little about breeding, and in rural areas, as long as sheep are herded, sheep can grow naturally. For a long time, many people mistakenly think that raising sheep does not need any technology at all.

Poor environmental conditions

Most of the sheep houses in rural areas are in their own courtyards, and few people specially build a room for the sheep, let alone want to ventilate and cool them. Some even build a shed for the sheep in the yard, and their ability to prevent cold and summer heat is also relatively poor. Usually do not think of disinfection, for sick sheep are rarely able to achieve isolation treatment, not only increase the probability of infection, but also reduce the income of breeding friends It has brought trouble to the breeding friends.

Poor epidemic prevention system

Many professional households have serious misunderstandings about the immunization procedure of sheep, some do not get vaccinated, some simply do not understand the need for pig house vaccine, improper transportation and storage of vaccine will also lead to immune errors.

Abuse of drugs

Some professional households have poor awareness of disease prevention and treatment, do not go to a veterinarian for treatment after the illness, but follow others to learn, do not investigate the cause of the disease, and misuse drugs. For example, sheep are herbivores and cannot use antibiotics, but many sheep farmers use oxytetracycline and tetracycline as long as their sheep get sick.

Not divided into groups

At present, many sheep farmers do not pay attention to grouping, large and small, male and female are all raised in a group, resulting in bullying the small by the big, bullying the weak by the strong, breeding prematurely, causing breed degradation and low economic benefits. Sheep farmers mistakenly think that sheep can only be grazed, not given up, eat dry leaves in spring and winter, and grass in autumn and summer, so there is no need to prepare forage grass at all, often cutting off grass in winter and spring, causing sheep weight loss and even diseases.
