How to keep sheep from the cold in winter

Sheep breeding is a very common breeding project in China. Management is very important when raising sheep. We should adjust our management methods reasonably according to the changes of seasons. Ensure sheep can grow normally in every season, especially summer and winter. Summer should do a good job of cooling heatstroke prevention, and in winter should do a good job of insulation against cold. So how do you keep sheep warm in winter? The following small series will briefly introduce you, let's take a look together!

1. Temperature control

The temperature control of sheep raising in winter must be the key point of management. After entering winter, if the insulation performance of the sheep house is not good, then we can cover a thick thermal plastic film on the sheep house. It is best to use double-layer film, so that the wind resistance and heat preservation ability of the sheep house are very good. And when necessary, we can cover the floor heater on the sheephouse floor to control the temperature of the floor, which is very beneficial to the temperature control of the sheephouse, and can also achieve the purpose of keeping warm.

2. Reasonable ventilation

After the temperature in winter gradually decreases, in order to prevent sheep from being blown by cold wind, many sheep farmers will close their doors, windows and vents tightly to avoid the invasion of thief wind. Although this can indeed prevent sheep from being blown by the wind and causing colds and other problems. However, the air circulation in sheep houses is extremely poor, and if sheep live in an environment with poor permeability for a long time, it will also lead to various diseases in sheep. Therefore, while maintaining the temperature of the sheep house, we should also do a good job of reasonable ventilation. Exhaust harmful gases from the sheep house, and pay attention to avoiding direct wind blowing on the sheep when ventilating.

3, prevent moisture

In winter, plastic greenhouses are generally more tightly closed. The excrement produced by sheep will evaporate water. At this time, the humidity in the shed will increase, resulting in various diseases of sheep and a decrease in temperature. Therefore, in addition to ventilation, we should also pay attention to moisture, regularly clean up the remaining water and excrement in the sheep house. Proper ventilation to reduce humidity, and then in the sheep shed on the ground mat grass, both can play a moisture-proof role, but also can keep warm cold. However, the mat should also be replaced regularly to avoid the mat being too wet.

4. Wind and snow protection

In many parts of our country, the amount of snow and snow in winter is relatively large. Therefore, after entering winter, we should check the sheep house construction in time to ensure its durability. Because of excessive snowfall, the roof of the sheep house needs to bear a lot of snow weight, and the snow will produce a lot of water after melting. If the roof of the sheep house leaks, then the growth of the sheep will be greatly affected. In addition, we must not only ensure that the sheep house has a strong bearing capacity, but also have a slope of more than 55 degrees. After snow, the snow on the roof should be removed in time to reduce the pressure.

The above is a brief introduction to how to keep sheep warm in winter. Today's introduction is here, this article is for reference only, I hope to help everyone oh!
