Key points of sheep management in winter

Sheep breeding has become a more important breeding project in China. The economic value of sheep is relatively high, because sheep have two uses: food and textile. However, raising sheep is not so simple. Sheep have different management methods every season in the breeding process. As autumn is coming, winter is coming soon. Today, Xiaobian will talk about the management points of sheep breeding in winter. Let's take a look together!

1. Reasonable grouping

Low temperature in winter will have a certain impact on the growth and development of sheep, which is very important for sheep management. Therefore, in order to facilitate the management of sheep, we have to divide them into several different groups according to their age, sex and growth stage. Mixed breeding may lead to strong bullying and big bullying. It should be noted that sick sheep and normal sheep can not be raised together, and the sick sheep are concentrated together, so that we can manage and graze sheep in winter, and eliminate seriously ill sheep and sheep that grow too weak.

2. Reasonable grazing

As mentioned above, the temperature in winter is low, but sheep still need grazing to increase nutrition. We should take heat preservation measures for sheep when grazing. Grassland selection Goose grazing longer in the early winter when the grass is not completely dry, at higher altitudes where there is less wind and sun, and where there is clean water to drink. Grazing time as far as possible to choose at noon when the temperature is higher, choose fresh grass more places. After winter, reduce grazing time and exercise amount of Mianyang, increase feed, improve feed conversion rate of Mianyang, and do fattening measures.

3. Increase feed

Feed is the key to ensure sheep fattening, to ensure the diversity of feed, there are sufficient comprehensive nutrients. If feeding a single feed for a long time, it is easy to cause malnutrition in sheep, resulting in blocked fattening of sheep. Therefore, we should not only ensure that sheep are full in daily feeding, but also provide other nutrients, such as vitamins, inorganic salts, etc. Then pay attention to sheep drinking water, winter air humidity is low, appropriate supplementary drinking water can improve sheep body moisture, promote sheep digestion, but pay attention to water temperature, can not feed cold water, otherwise sheep easy to appear diarrhea and other gastrointestinal diseases.

4, timely insulation

Xiaobian in the front focused on the problem of low winter temperature, natural insulation management is also a necessary work we need to do well in winter. Because the temperature is too low, the heat and energy consumption rate of sheep will become faster, hindering the fattening of sheep. And timely insulation can also promote the conversion rate of feed to ensure the normal fattening of sheep. Before winter, carefully check the sheep house to prevent air leakage and ventilation, and repair it in time after discovery. To prevent the invasion of thief wind, causing sheep to catch a cold, conditional can be added in the sheep house warming equipment.

The above is a brief introduction to the management points of sheep breeding in winter. Winter is a headache season for all farmers, so we must take various protective measures. Today's introduction is here. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help everyone.
