What are the drinking water requirements for raising sheep?

Water is a very important link for raising sheep, so sheep drinking water is also more critical, so what are the requirements for sheep drinking water? Let's take a look at these problems, which must be avoided when feeding water.

1. No shortage of water

Long-term lack of drinking water will seriously affect the fattening effect of sheep, because lack of water will cause indigestion, lead to food accumulation in the stomach of sheep, and further lead to a series of diseases. When there is a lack of water, its rumination will not be carried out, and the sheep will slowly lose weight due to lack of water and nutrients, and eventually die. Every day to prepare enough water for sheep to drink, there can be residual water in the sink, but it can be drunk dry, which indicates a shortage of water. However, after feeding, this is an exception, we should pay attention to avoid binge drinking of sheep.

2. Do not drink water before morning feeding

Don't rush to feed the sheep before feeding forage or preparing for grazing every day, because the sheep's body is more sensitive at this time. Water feeding is more irritating to the sheep and can easily lead to illness. The best way is to feed some fresh forage and let it chew and eat. The forage contains water, which can temporarily meet the sheep's demand for water, and then feed it after eating for a period of time, so as to meet its demand for water. without causing the sheep to be stimulated.

3. Do not feed stagnant water

This is a very important point, there may be some insects laying eggs in the dead water for a long time, these eggs can not be observed by the naked eye, if eaten by sheep may become parasites, seriously affecting the safety and health of sheep. Stagnant water for a long time is prone to some substances harmful to the health of sheep, eating too much may lead to a variety of diseases, so we must avoid feeding stagnant water, open more of these risks. Try not to keep the water in the sheep shed for too long and take as much as you like.

4. Grazing and feeding live water

These problems should be paid attention to when feeding water when grazing in the wild. First of all, some puddles formed by the water flowing from the planting land should be avoided to drink. Such water contains a high proportion of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and it is easy for sheep to have problems. Try to avoid plants soaking in some puddles, as these may also contain parasite larvae.

These are the requirements for raising sheep to drink water. Many farmers habitually let sheep drink water at will. As a result, they are inexplicably ill and do not know what is going on. Some parasites may also be brought back outside in this way, and it is necessary to pay attention to drinking water requirements for the sake of safety.
