How much is a cashmere goat?

Cashmere goat is a unique biological resource in China. After long-term natural selection and artificial breeding, cashmere goat has the highest cashmere yield and the best cashmere fiber quality in the world. The main products are fine and soft cashmere, white as jade, bright luster, smooth and delicate feel, and their textiles sell well all over the world. Let's take a look at how much a cashmere goat costs!

How much is a cashmere goat?

The price of the original ram is between 5000 and 10000 yuan, and that of pregnant ewes with lambs is generally between 1500 and 1800 yuan.

What are the breeds of cashmere goats?

China is rich in cashmere goat breed resources. There are mainly Liaoning cashmere goat, Jinlan cashmere goat, Inner Mongolia cashmere goat (Inner Mongolia Erlangshan goat, Inner Mongolia Azuoqi white cashmere goat, Inner Mongolia Alba white cashmere goat), Hexi cashmere goat, Xizang cashmere goat, Sichuan cashmere goat, Shandong cashmere goat and so on. In addition, there are a large number of crossbred and improved breeds in our country. Through some local goat breeds with good production performance, new breeds of goats are bred by multivariate breeding, selective crossbreeding and inbreeding. For example, Longdong white cashmere goat is a new breed of cross breeding with Longdong black goat as female parent and Liaoning cashmere goat as male parent.

How can we increase the cashmere yield?

The main results are as follows: 1. In the breeding and management of cashmere goats, purebred sheep or sheep with heterosis are selected as far as possible. At the same time, the cashmere yield of ram and Capricorn sheep is the highest, the young sheep is the second, and the ewe is the lowest, so the Capricorn sheep should occupy a high proportion in the population structure.

2. In winter and spring, we should pay attention to feeding compound feed, silage forage grass, etc., so that the protein feed in the diet should not be less than 13%, and the crude fiber should not be less than 20%. In minerals, attention should be paid to the supplement of calcium, phosphorus and sulfur, especially sulfur is an indispensable substance that constitutes villi, and sufficient sulfur plays an important role in improving the yield and quality of villi.

3. Change the feeding mode at the right time. After most sheep are conceived in the pastoral area, it is best to adopt house feeding in captivity, and then transfer to grazing after giving birth to lambs and combing down at the end of spring next year, so that the cashmere production period can be avoided and the survival rate of lambs can be improved.

4. Regular medicine bath to prevent in vitro parasitic diseases (such as scabies) is also one of the indispensable measures to increase cashmere yield.
