How to raise mutton sheep and grow fast

Mutton sheep is very popular in our country, and now the price of mutton on the market is very considerable. Sales in China are also second only to pork and beef. Therefore, the breeding area of mutton sheep in China is very large. When raising mutton sheep, sheep farmers want to improve the growth rate of mutton sheep and enhance their market competitiveness. So how to raise mutton sheep to grow fast? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Variety selection

Breed will directly determine the growth rate of mutton sheep, so if you want mutton sheep to grow fast, then the choice of breed is very important. For example, small-tailed Han sheep, Hu sheep and other native sheep breeds in China have the advantages of excellent meat quality, fast growth and strong reproductive ability. And many foreign varieties have been introduced into our country. Although there are many excellent sheep breeds in our country, we should also pay attention to the reasonable choice according to the climate and environment of the breeding area. For example, if the summer temperature exceeds 35 degrees, it is not suitable for raising cashmere goat breeds, while if the winter temperature is very low, it is not suitable for raising short-haired breeds such as Boer goats.

2. Culture mode

The breeding model is also crucial to the growth of mutton sheep. If it is a stocking mode, then every morning and evening should pay attention to do a good job of supplementary feeding, fine feeding should have higher protein and energy and other nutrients. If it is in captivity, then feeding should be based on the principle of feeding more and less, because the absorptive capacity of feeding is relatively poor, so if you increase the number of feeding, it is more conducive to the nutrition absorption of sheep. And when feeding feed, it is necessary to match the feed reasonably, in which coarse feeding is the most, fine feeding is the second, and finally protein feed and fresh forage are the second. When feeding feed, appropriate amount of drinking water should be matched, and warm water should be the main feed in winter.

3. Scientific feeding

When raising mutton sheep, they should be raised separately according to different growth stages, species and other factors. The fattening effect of separate feeding is very obvious, and then we have to control the feed according to the characteristics of each group. For example, in the early stage of young sheep, forage should be given priority to, while in adulthood, because the purpose is to fattening, it should be fed mainly with feed. Because there is a big gap in the feeding amount between the two, if they are fed together, it will have a great impact on the fattening of the two kinds of sheep. Finally, if it is for fattening, then it is best to keep it in captivity.

4. Fattening skills

When fattening mutton sheep, mutton sheep are prone to disease. After the emergence of disease, mutton sheep will lose weight, loss of appetite or even do not eat and so on. It will have a great impact on fattening, so we must do a good job in disease prevention and control of mutton sheep. And if the sheep shed is too dirty, it will restrain the fattening speed of mutton sheep to a certain extent. For some sheep that eat slowly, we can add some agents to the feed to promote digestion. Finally, it should be noted that when rapid fattening, feed should be given priority to, and forage can only be used as a supplement for mutton sheep.

The above is a brief introduction to how mutton sheep grow quickly. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
