Technical points of raising sheep in shed

As a very common livestock in our country, sheep is very popular in our country. Now the breeding area of sheep in our country is very large and there are different breeding models. And house feeding and captivity is one of the more common ones. Compared with stocking, the growth rate of house-fed sheep is faster, the time of getting out of the fence is early, and the fat condition is also very good. So how to raise sheep in a house? The following editor brings you the technical points of raising sheep in a house. Let's have a look!

1. Variety selection

The breed selection of house feeding sheep is very important, and the common sheep breeds suitable for house feeding are small tail Han sheep and so on. The selection of breed directly affects the growth ability and fatness of sheep. And in house feeding, we should reasonably adjust the breeding methods according to the purpose of culture. For example, if it is to sell breeder sheep, then purebred breeding should be carried out. If it is for commercial sheep, then the sheep should be hybridized to improve the quality of the breed, and the breeding benefit can also be expanded.

2. Build an enclosure

To feed sheep, the construction of the enclosure is also essential, to ensure that the sheep house has the basic characteristics of ventilation, dryness, hygiene and so on. It can be in a single slope shed or in a fully enclosed form. Generally, it is mainly fully enclosed, the height of the wall of the sheep shed is kept at about 2.4 meters, and the height of the ground is about 25 cm higher than that outside. Then the ground is mainly in the form of slopes to improve the drainage capacity. A good sports ground should be built outside, and its area should be about 3 times larger than that of the sheep house. Ensure that the sheep have enough free movement space to enhance the growth ability of the sheep.

3. Forage preparation

Forage is the most important part of cost saving in house feeding sheep. In house feeding, each farmer should match scientifically according to the local actual situation. Ensure balanced nutrition in the four seasons and supply in stages. Then it is necessary to formulate a relevant and appropriate forage storage scheme, which can be solved by collecting food crop straw, seedlings, planting silage and so on. You can also use wine troughs, bean curd dregs, planting alfalfa and other forage grasses to prepare for forage. Adequate forage is the key to the healthy growth of sheep, so we must pay more attention to it.

4. Feeding and management

When building the sheep shed, we should prepare all kinds of basic feeding equipment such as food trough and sink in the sheep house. Prevent sheep from wasting feed and polluting drinking water, so as to improve the feed utilization rate of sheep. Then it is necessary to do a good job of raising separately and adjust reasonably according to the size and sex of the sheep. When feeding, sheep should be allowed to feed freely, and sufficient feed should be put into the trough, feeding about 3 times a day on the principle of more than a small amount of feed. Keep water in the sink and change it once a day. In addition, salt should be replenished properly and fine feeding should be supplemented according to the growth period of sheep.

The above is a brief introduction to the technical points of raising sheep in the shed. Raising sheep in the house requires our fine management, especially in feeding, drinking water and so on. A reasonable management method is closely related to its breeding benefit. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
