What are the main reasons for the failure of raising sheep?

Sheep breeding is a very common breeding project in China, and mutton is also a very popular meat product in China. Therefore, there are still a lot of people raising sheep in our country, but when raising sheep, we are often easy to encounter many reasons that lead to the failure of raising sheep. Today, the editor brings you the main reasons for the failure of raising sheep. Let's take a look at it.

1. Poor environmental conditions

Environment is very important to the growth of sheep, if the basic facilities for raising sheep are too simple, it is likely to lead to failure of raising sheep. Nowadays, many people still have the traditional idea of low input and high output in raising sheep. Many sheepfolds are too simple to keep cool in summer and warm in winter. And the air quality in the sheep house is poor, less light and gloom. Sheep have higher requirements for the environment, and sheep like to grow in a drier environment. If you live in a damp and dirty environment for a long time, it is very easy to get parasitic diseases. And the growth rate will also decrease, it will be difficult to mate in estrus, and the probability of failure will decrease as a result.

2. Reasons for farmers

Now there are many people who raise sheep and start up halfway. Some take the villages and towns as the unit to carry on the collective breeding, although they themselves have the high breeding enthusiasm, but do not know how to breed. Therefore, only some people who understand can be hired to raise sheep, and if these breeders do not have a strong sense of responsibility, it will easily lead to failure in raising sheep. For example, in normal management, the growth of sheep is not checked regularly. There is no timely warmth in winter, no hoarding of forage grass, no heat prevention and cooling in summer, insect repellent and epidemic prevention, and so on. Will lead to poor health of sheep, reduce production capacity, leading to a variety of diseases.

3. Lack of forage

Sheep's food is mainly grass-based, if you want sheep to grow normally, then adequate forage is very important. But after a period of time, there may be a forage crisis due to too little forage grass and too much farming. Many people will increase the feed, but because the sheep are ruminants, the lack of forage will affect the digestive system of sheep, resulting in intestinal flora disorder and hinder the growth of sheep.

4. Epidemic prevention and deworming is not in place.

The overall development of sheep in the epidemic prevention and deworming task force is also very important. When raising sheep, many people have some wrong ideas, such as strong disease resistance, not easy to get sick, simple feeding and so on. As a result, the work of epidemic prevention is not paid attention to, and the disinfection and deworming work is not in place. Some even never disinfect sheep in sheep sheds, and the most basic vaccines are not used. As a result, in the case of centralized breeding and no deworming and epidemic prevention, the bacteria multiply too much. As a result, the resistance of sheep will decline, leading to the occurrence of various diseases.

The above is a brief introduction to what is the main reason for the failure of raising sheep. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
