Factors affecting the breeding benefit of Mutton Sheep

Now it is officially winter, the temperature is getting colder and colder, and it is the peak season for mutton. Mutton sheep breeding has become one of the most important breeding projects in China, but many sheep farmers will find it in the process of breeding. The benefit of mutton sheep breeding is not high, and sometimes the meat quality is very poor. So what is the cause? The following editor brings you the factors that affect the efficiency of mutton sheep breeding, let's take a look!

1. Variety

The primary factor affecting the efficiency of mutton sheep breeding is the breed, although almost all the breeds on the market are edible. However, different breeds will lead to differences in the amount and quality of mutton. For example, the main use of fine wool sheep is wool, and the content of mutton is less than half, which is very unwise if it is used for mutton sheep breeding. Specially used for mutton sheep breeding, not only the growth ability is strong, the breeding cycle is short, and the mutton content is very high, which can greatly improve the efficiency of mutton sheep breeding. Therefore, when selecting varieties, we should pay attention to the growth cycle, meat content and quality of the varieties.

2. Environment

The environment of the farm is also the main factor affecting the efficiency of breeding, if the environment is too poor, it will not only reduce the meat quality, delay the time, but also increase the incidence of disease. The sheep farm should be built in a ventilated and dry place where water is not easy to accumulate, so that the environment is more suitable for the growth and reproduction of mutton sheep, and can also improve the quality of mutton. There must also be high-quality forage grass and plenty of clean water around the farm, away from noisy and polluted areas such as urban areas and factories. Ensure the growth environment of mutton sheep and reduce unnecessary losses.

3. Reproduction

In order to ensure the long-term efficient breeding of mutton sheep and improve the economic benefits of mutton sheep breeding, it is necessary to breed reasonably and improve the number of mutton sheep. But reproduction is not so easy to say, many farmers do not have a correct method of reproduction, can not guarantee successful reproduction. So choose to purchase species, but this not only increases the cost of breeding, but also increases the incidence of disease, there is a great hidden danger. Therefore, we must master a correct breeding method, reduce the cost of breeding, reduce unnecessary expenses, and improve the economic benefits of breeding.

4. Feeding

Scientific feeding and management is the key to ensure the healthy growth of mutton sheep, which can reduce the incidence of disease and improve the quality of mutton. According to the different growth stages of mutton sheep, learn different management methods to understand the growth habits and nutritional requirements of mutton sheep. Adjust the feed nutrition collocation reasonably to ensure the comprehensive nutrition absorption of mutton sheep, pay attention to the feeding of coarse and fine grains, prevent malnutrition of mutton sheep, and abide by the principle of fixed time and quantity. It is found that pregnant sheep should have sufficient nutrition, improve the growth and immunity of young sheep, and ensure the healthy growth of young sheep.

The above is the editor's brief introduction to the factors that affect the efficiency of mutton sheep breeding, of course, it is not just these reasons. For example, there are various aspects such as the construction of sheep pens and vaccination. The above four points are problems that farmers often appear and often ignore, so the editor hopes that everyone must do a good job in these aspects of management before breeding to protect their own breeding benefits. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
