Breeding techniques of Hu Sheep

Hu sheep is not only a very important livestock, but also a kind of protected livestock and poultry in our country. Hu sheep have a wide range of uses, such as meat, leather and so on. Hu sheep is a kind of breeding breed with high economic benefit because of its early sexual maturity, obvious estrus symptoms, strong reproductive ability and fast growth rate. So how to raise Hu sheep? The following editor brings you the breeding technology of Hu sheep, let's have a look!

1. Select superior species

The quality of the breed is closely related to the growth ability and quality of Hu sheep. We should choose the breeding ram with uniform size and fast growth speed, and we should pay attention to serial breeding when breeding to prevent inbreeding. When introducing, we should pay attention to its purity and ensure that it has the growth advantages of Hu sheep, otherwise it will reduce the commodity value of Hu sheep. After seed selection, we should pay attention to prepare for reproduction, after gradually entering the breeding period, it is best to raise in groups, and then when the estrus can be mated, and then carry on the breeding work.

2. Reproduction preparation

The time of sexual maturity of Hu sheep is relatively early, and it will enter the period of sexual maturity about half a year after the birth of young Hu sheep. Mating can be carried out when it is about 9 months old, and the ewe's estrus time is about 3 weeks. Generally speaking, it is the best time for breeding within 1-2 days after ewe is in estrus. The cycle of ewe in the later stage of pregnancy is about 5 months, and there is no great requirement for the mating season. If we need to rebreed, then we usually do it within 10 or 20 hours after estrus. When mating, it is necessary to do a good job in management, increase the proportion of feed nutrition and improve the pregnancy rate.

3. Main points of feeding

The feed of Hu sheep is mainly forage grass, which should be fed together with fine feeding. Intensive feeding should not be ignored for breeder sheep, young sheep, etc. It is necessary to ensure the dosage to make the sheep full. If the sheep makes a cry after eating, it means that it is not enough, and it should be replenished in time. When feeding, we should follow the principle of timing and quantification, feeding about twice a day. It is not possible to feed a single feed for a long time to prevent undernutrition from affecting the growth of Hu sheep. We can add a small amount of salt to the feed, which can enhance the appetite of Hu sheep and promote digestion.

4. Disease prevention and treatment

Disease can pose a fatal threat to the growth of Hu sheep. Especially some infectious diseases, such as sheep plague, No. 5 disease and so on. We should pay attention to it in the process of breeding. Do not feed moldy and deteriorated feed to prevent gastrointestinal diseases of Hu sheep. Then it is necessary to do a good job in epidemic prevention and improve the resistance of Hu sheep. And the sheep house should be disinfected regularly, and the eating, activity and feces of Hu sheep should be observed regularly. When an anomaly is found, it should be isolated in time, then find out the specific cause, and then take corresponding measures.

The above is a brief introduction to the breeding technology of Hu sheep, which is actually similar to that of domestic sheep. The most important thing is to do a good job in management and disease prevention and control, enhance the growth capacity of Hu sheep, and avoid affecting the efficiency of breeding.
