Construction Scheme of Boer Goat Farm

Boer goat is a meat goat breed. A corresponding sheep shed should be built in order to give full play to its excellent production performance, facilitate management, and be more conducive to large-scale breeding. Let's take a look at the construction plan of Boer goat farm.

Construction of Boer Goat Farm

The breeding farm should first choose a suitable geographical location, according to the biological characteristics of Boer goats, the sheep house should be built with high topography, good drainage, leeward to the sun, sufficient water, quiet environment, convenient transportation, convenient epidemic prevention and grazing land. In general, the types of sheep houses are single-slope type and double-slope type, and there are single-slope type from the roof structure, that is, the roof is inclined to one side. Such a sheep house requires that the material of the roof is better, convenient for rain and drainage, and the area of the sheep house is small. The double-sloping roof inclines to both sides, so the area of the sheep house is relatively large, so it is suitable to do ewe delivery room or ewe and child sheep house. According to the degree of tightness, it is divided into open type, the structure is relatively simple, and it is mostly used in areas with better climatic conditions. The enclosed sheephouse is strictly enclosed, which is mostly used in areas where climatic conditions are not very good. It can be windproof in winter and semi-open, between the two. From the plane structure, it can be divided into rectangle, square and semicircle, which is mainly determined by the feeding quantity of goats. From the construction materials, there are brick structure, civil structure and open fence structure and so on.

Boer goat breeder passage

For a long time, in order to facilitate the feeding and management of Boer goats, a breeder channel should be set up, and the two sides of the channel should be separated by iron bars or wooden poles. When the sheep eat and drink, the head will stick out from the railing to feed or drink. The height of the sheep house depends on the area of the sheep house. If it is a closed sheep house, the height should take into account the area of sunlight. The management of the sheep house should keep in mind the principles of "mud pig clean sheep", "sheep do not lie wet" and "circle warm three fat", and should be disinfected regularly. Large-scale feeding should be equipped with warm equipment in the delivery room, preferably a warm pit.

Area of Boer goat farm

The construction area of the farm can be determined according to the sex and size of Boer goats. Usually, each adult ram of Boer goat covers an area of 1.5 square meters to 1.8 square meters, and an adult ewe covers an area of 1.8 square meters to 2.0 square meters. Each ewe with young covers an area of 2.0 square meters to 2.3 square meters, and each young sheep covers an area of 1.0 square meters to 1.2 square meters. Each lamb covers an area of 0.8 ~ 1.0 square meters, so it can be calculated according to the structure and quantity of sheep.

Boer Goat Farm facilities

The necessary facilities of the farm are sheep bed, feed trough, grass rack, neck frame and so on. The sheep bed is a place for sheep to rest. There are also many kinds of feed grooves, including mobile strip feed trough, fixed strip feed trough and fence long feed rack, and the shape of feed trough can be determined according to the situation. The function of the grass rack is to prevent sheep from eating and interfering with each other. The forage rack can be made of steel bar or wood, with one-sided grass rack fixed at the root of the wall and two-sided grass rack placed in the feeding ground. The neck frame is used for fixing sheep, which is convenient for inspection and prevention of diseases. In addition, the sheep house should also be equipped with sinks, fences, aisles, and lighting and ventilation facilities.

Configuration of Boer goat sports ground

The construction of the farm should also consider the configuration of the playground, which is paved with concrete or brick, and the area is determined according to the structure and number of sheep. The area of adult ram, ewe with young, adult ewe and young sheep should be 2.5 square meters, 3.5 square meters, 4.0 square meters, 2.1 square meters and 1.8 square meters, respectively. The enclosed sheephouse mostly uses movable glass windows for lighting, the window is 150 cm higher than the sheep bed, and its length and width is about 100 × 200 cm. Epidemic prevention facilities include disinfection pool, disinfection channel, medicine bath, isolation ward, veterinary observation room, etc., while storage facilities include forage warehouse, silage cellar, low-quality consumable warehouse and so on. Sewage facilities mainly refer to fecal tank, dung fermentation field and so on.
