How to fattening breeder sheep after elimination

The elimination of breeding sheep includes the elimination of breeding rams and ewes, which are generally older, low productivity and unsatisfactory breeding sheep. The breeder sheep also need to be sold after elimination, so before the sale, the average grower will fattening for a period of time to maximize profits as much as possible. The fattening methods of fattening sheep after elimination are different from those of normal sheep, so how can we fatten the fattened sheep after elimination? Let's take a look at it.

1. Check the sheep.

Before fattening, we need to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the eliminated breeder sheep in order to avoid unnecessary losses. When checking the sheep, we need to do it from all aspects to ensure the accuracy of the data. After the test results come out, for sick breeder sheep, we have to go through treatment before fattening; if they are untreatable sick sheep, then they need to be dealt with in time; at the same time, if they are too old to feed, then there is no need to waste time and cost to fattening, can be sold directly. Therefore, it is very necessary to have a physical examination after the elimination of the breeder sheep, and it is also a problem that many people often ignore.

2. castration at the right time

Breeder rams should be castrated before fattening, and we will castrate the fattened rams about ten days before fattening. Farmers are very clear about the fattening of rams, if there is no castrated ram, then it is very difficult to fatten, so the eliminated breeding ram also needs to be castrated, and at the same time grasp the time of castration. On the other hand, the eliminated ewes need to be fattened immediately after giving birth, which is the best fattening stage, and should be sold in time when they are fattened to a certain extent, otherwise they will lose weight again.

3. Nutrition allocation

We also have some differences in nutritional allocation of eliminated breeder sheep, and many feed formulations used for fattening sheep are not applicable in this kind of eliminated breeder sheep. The eliminated breeder sheep basically stop their growth and development, and if they want to fatten, they need to use other nutrients to repair their skills. We usually choose high concentrate for fattening and feed with forage grass to improve the meat quality of breeder sheep. The concentrate is mainly corn and wheat bran, mixed with a small amount of bean cake.

4. Seize the time

Eliminated breeder sheep should grasp the time in the process of fattening, in fact, whether it is eliminating sheep or normal fattening sheep, we should grasp the time to get out of the fence, otherwise they will lose weight when they grow to a certain extent. The best fattening time for eliminated sheep is about two to three months, and the maximum time can not be more than three months, because the fat deposition capacity of sheep is limited, so once the maximum is reached, "feeding will not continue to gain weight."

The meat quality of obsolete sheep is also very different from that of normal fattening sheep, so if we want to improve the economic value of eliminated sheep, we need to improve meat quality by feeding, which is the purpose of our fattening.
