How to improve the benefit of raising sheep

Sheep is a very common breeding project in China, which is raised almost all over the country. The market of mutton is very large now, and its market price is also relatively high, but many sheep farmers will find that their breeding efficiency is not very good, and sometimes there will be losses. So when we raise sheep, how to improve the efficiency of raising sheep? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Epidemic prevention and deworming

When raising sheep, if you want to ensure the healthy growth of sheep, then regular epidemic prevention and deworming work is certainly indispensable. Many sheep farmers are reluctant to buy insect repellent in order to save some money during epidemic prevention. As a result, the growth of sheep is affected by parasites, which slows down the growth rate and, in serious cases, leads to sheep death. Then we have to do a good job in all kinds of epidemic prevention work, such as small ruminant and sheep pox. if we wait until the sheep get sick, it will certainly be too late. In breeding, as long as the sheep do not die, then basically will not lose money.

2. Variety selection

Before raising sheep, we must do a good job in the selection of breeds, and now it is recognized that the better sheep breed on the market is Boer goat. After selecting sheep breeds, we should also strengthen the work of breeding and improvement to avoid the decline of sheep quality caused by long-term feeding. The breeding ram which is not suitable for breeding sheep should be removed and eliminated in time. Some fine breeds of rams and ewes which are different from sheep are properly introduced to cross with ewes to improve the quality of sheep. If it is the same group breeding, then we should pay attention to avoid inbreeding, it is best to keep records and establish files to avoid promiscuity and mismatch. Strengthen the breeding and hybridization of sheep.

3. Control the production time

The price of mutton usually falls around October every year. If fattening is carried out during this period, the price will be higher if it is sold in May-June of the following year, and the difference between the price and the lowest price of mutton can reach 5-7 yuan. Therefore, its breeding efficiency can also be effectively improved, and it is best to buy some sheep with strong growth ability and strong disease resistance in every autumn. After normal breeding, it can be sold in the spring and summer of the second year, which can effectively give full play to the breeding advantages of fattening sheep and expand the benefits of breeding.

4. Reduce the cost of breeding.

When breeding, we should make full use of the local natural resources. For example, the straw of various crops can be processed into ammoniation or green feeding, which can not only increase the food intake of sheep, but also improve the feed conversion rate. In summer and autumn and other seasons rich in natural resources, the amount of supplementary feeding can be reduced appropriately, or there may be no supplementary feeding. Appropriate extension of grazing time to ensure adequate food intake of sheep. In winter and spring, when there are few forage resources, it is necessary to increase the amount of supplementary feed, prepare feed reasonably and feed it at full price.

The above is a brief introduction to how to improve the efficiency of raising sheep. The benefit of sheep breeding should be improved from all aspects, especially the management of breeding, we should pay more attention to it. That's all for today's introduction.
