Techniques of raising sheep in winter

In fact, there are many things to pay attention to in raising sheep in winter, because if you are not careful, there will be all kinds of problems. the most important thing is that if the winter management is not done well, it will cause the sheep to lose weight, and the sheep, which are not easy to be fattened, will lose weight again. The loss really outweighs the gain, so raising sheep in winter is very fastidious, so today let's take a look at how to raise sheep in winter.

1. Protect against cold and keep warm

The temperature in winter is relatively low, which will have a certain impact on the vital signs of sheep, so we need to deal with the sheep house before the winter, repair the ventilation and leakage in the sheep house, and keep the room dry. At the same time, it can also be insulated by thickening the cushions in the sheep house or using more warm materials to cover the sheep sheep. finally, we can also carry out indoor heat preservation through more advanced modern technology. However, the cost is relatively large, and it is generally not recommended to use it until it is a last resort.

2. Group management

We have to group the sheep before the winter, usually according to the age, sex, physique, growth stage, pregnancy and other conditions, because different sheep need to pay attention to different points, in order to facilitate later management, sheep need to be divided into groups before the winter. It should be noted that sheep with weak growth under normal conditions and some sheep with poor reproductive ability should be fattened and sold as far as possible, and should not be left for breeding in winter.

3. Make a good vaccine

We all know that the temperature in winter is relatively low, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, not only the high incidence of sheep during this period, but also the peak of disease in many animals. if we usually pay attention, we will find that after a long winter, the number of many animals has not increased, but decreased, so during this period of time, we should do a good job of vaccination in advance. Improve the immunity of sheep, reduce the occurrence of diseases, and irregularly carry out physical examination and supplementary epidemic of sheep.

4. Scientific feeding

The appetite of raising in winter will decline, so we only need to think twice a day, each time the amount of feed is not too much, but mainly concentrate, so as to maintain the nutrition needed for the normal growth of sheep. However, we should also feed an appropriate amount of green or forage to maintain nutritional balance. Due to the low temperature in winter, many people only change water every few days when raising sheep, which actually has a great impact on the intestines and stomach of sheep. The best way is to use warm water to raise sheep and change drinking water at least twice a day. Finally, it should be noted that when the winter temperature picks up slightly and the sun is strong, the sheep can be properly driven out for grazing, which can also enhance immunity.

5. Sanitary cleaning

In fact, people are also very afraid of the cold and trouble in winter, and many people think that the hygiene of sheep houses and cattle can be cleaned for a period of time, thinking that the activity of bacteria during this period of time is very low and the rate of reproduction is very slow. in fact, this is a misconception, the hygiene of sheep houses in winter should pay more attention to cleaning, there are many bacteria only active in winter, and the speed of spread is very fast. It does great harm to the sheep, so we should at least make sure that the sheep house is cleaned every three to five days or so, and thoroughly sterilized every half a month, so as to ensure the hygiene of the sheep house. Of course, we can also use fermentation beds for breeding, so as to ensure the hygiene of the sheep house and protect the environment.
