Matters needing attention in raising sheep and grazing in spring

Raising sheep is very common in our country. When raising sheep, grazing is essential. When grazing, we should adjust the grazing method according to the season. And different seasons, the points for attention in grazing are also different. Especially in spring, what should we pay attention to when raising sheep and grazing in spring? The following editor brings you some matters needing attention in raising sheep and grazing in spring. Let's take a look!

1. Do not graze prematurely

In spring, we should pay attention to controlling the time of spring grazing. Do not graze prematurely, if grazing too early, it will cause great damage to the grassland and lead to grassland degradation. And in the early spring, the green grass sprouts and grows, and its nutrition source mainly depends on the reserve nutrition of the old grass before. Generally, it can satisfy the growth and nutrition of returning green grass for about three weeks, and on the 20th day, the new grass needs to be absorbed from the soil to ensure the yield of grass. If grazing is too early, it will lead to the destruction of the nutritional demand of grass and reduce the regeneration of grass, which is very undesirable.

2. Do not graze freely

When raising sheep for grazing, it is mainly a measure to save feed and reduce breeding costs to improve breeding efficiency. But when we are grazing, we cannot graze freely. If the sheep are driven directly into the pasture, then the harm caused is very great. First of all, it is impossible to give full play to the benefits of forage grass, resulting in a waste of forage resources. And if you graze in the same pasture every day, sheep are very likely to be infected with parasites. In addition, it is easy to accelerate the degradation rate of grassland and reduce the utilization rate of grassland.

Therefore, when we are grazing, the pasture should be reasonably divided into several small pieces. Then the method of rotational grazing is carried out in each area to fix the sheep. In this way, the utilization rate of grassland and the carrying capacity per unit area of grassland can be effectively improved. Avoid serious trampling of forage grass, enhance the growth of forage grass and increase grass yield. The improvement of forage quality is very beneficial to the milk and meat production of sheep. But also can effectively reduce parasite infection. Therefore, when grazing, we must remember not to graze freely.

3. Do not run green for grazing

When grazing in early spring, because the temperature is still relatively low, the germination rate of grass is not fast. Although there seems to be grass all over the ground, the quality is relatively low. In addition, there is a gradual shortage of hay, so there is not enough hay to eat and no new grass to eat, and it is very easy for sheep to "eat what is in the bowl and look at what is in the pot" and want to find good grass everywhere. This is the phenomenon of sheep running green. Sheep running green not only consumes a lot of physical strength, but also does not have enough feed to supplement, and the pasture will be destroyed. Therefore, we must not run green grazing, we should appropriately extend the house feeding time, and the grazing time should also be postponed appropriately.
