Last Updated: 2024/11/21, Winter and spring season due to low temperature, if the sheep drink cold water, or even ice ballast water, sheep do not want to drink, will cause sheep drinking water shortage. This not only slows down the digestion process of sheep feed, the metabolism in the body is blocked, and the situation is reduced, but also causes various diseases. Therefore, in the production of sheep must create drinking water conditions to ensure clean and adequate drinking water. If the water temperature of the sheep drinking water is too low, the water should absorb the heat converted from the feed of the sheep itself, which will reduce the utilization rate of the feed. Therefore, the temperature of sheep drinking water in winter and spring should be 20~30℃.

Due to the low temperature in winter and spring, if you give sheep cold water, or even ice ballast water, sheep do not want to drink, it will cause insufficient drinking water for sheep. This not only slows down the process of sheep feed digestion, hinders metabolism in the body, and reduces body fat, but also causes various diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to create drinking conditions for sheep in production to ensure clean and adequate drinking water.

Drinking water temperature if the temperature of the water consumed by the sheep is too low, the water should absorb the heat converted from the feed itself, which will reduce the utilization rate of the feed. Therefore, the best temperature of sheep drinking water in winter and spring is 20-30 ℃.

The form of drinking water in order to promote sheep to drink more water, drink enough water, can give sheep to drink fine feed soup. The method is: first, rinse the concentrate feed with boiling water, stir it evenly, make it into a paste, and then mix a certain amount of water evenly for the sheep to drink.

The amount of drinking water sheep feeds on 1 kilogram of dry matter and needs 3 to 5 kilograms of water. Therefore, in winter and spring, depending on the situation of sheep eating forage, sheep should be given water of 3 to 5 times the quality of dry matter.

Drinking time to drink sheep on an empty stomach, if the water temperature is on the low side, it will make the sheep's body temperature drop suddenly, it is easy to make the sheep catch a cold and have a fever, and pregnant ewes are easy to miscarry if they drink cold water on an empty stomach. In production, the sheep should be given water after 1 hour of grass feeding, so that the water and forage can be fully mixed in the rumen of sheep, which is helpful for digestion.

It is suitable for sheep to drink water twice in the morning and in the evening. If the conditions are not met, drink at least once, but be careful to drink enough.
