Key points of fattening techniques for Mutton Sheep

Mutton sheep breeding is very common in China, because the market demand for mutton is very large, so mutton sheep breeding is still very popular. When raising mutton sheep, the fattening of mutton sheep must be a problem that everyone pays close attention to. So when we raise mutton sheep, how to do a good job in fattening mutton sheep? Today, the editor brings you the key points of the fattening technology of mutton sheep. The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Lamb production season

When raising mutton sheep, we should pay attention to the lamb production season. It is best to give priority to the fattening production system in that year to ensure that the fattening lambs are released before the New year every year, so that the economic benefits are still very considerable. And can not only meet the market demand, but also take into account the changes in the supply of forage grass. At the same time, in order to ensure the fattening time of the lambs, it is best to give birth in the early spring of each year, so that if the lambs are kept until the end of the year, the weight of the lambs can reach about 70 jin, which may be higher. And if the lambing time is concentrated, it is also very beneficial to fattening management.

2. Suitable weaning time

When weaning the lamb, make sure that the lamb is weaned normally at the right time. That is, when the lamb is about 3-4 months old, it is weaned. If the body size is relatively large, then the weaning time can be earlier, on the contrary, if the physique is poor, then the weaning time should be extended appropriately. When the lamb is lactating, it is necessary to ensure the normal development of the lamb. Because the fattening ability of lambs is directly related to their weaning time. After weaning lambs should be castrated in time, and then do a good job of medicine bath deworming. Separate grouping, grazing and supplementary feeding management should be done according to the body weight and body shape of lambs.

3. Fattening time

Fattening time is also very important for the fattening effect of mutton sheep. The ideal fattening time for lambs should be around autumn, because the climate and temperature at this time are very suitable for lamb growth. If the fattening time is too late, then the temperature gradually drops, and the lamb consumes too much, resulting in a hindrance to weight gain. And autumn forage resources are relatively rich, its agricultural products are also more, because it can provide sufficient feed supply for lamb fattening. Usually at the beginning of October, an appropriate amount of mixed concentrate is added. However, the fattening time should not be too early, if the fattening period is too long, then it will shorten the feeding period and affect the body weight.

4. Grazing and supplementary feeding

The grazing time of mutton sheep should be kept at least 8 hours a day to increase the food intake of lambs and promote their growth and development. And after returning to the sheepfold after grazing every day, we should also do a good job of supplementary feeding, which is mainly rough feeding. Because the gastrointestinal capacity of sheep is relatively large, digestive ability is also relatively strong. So even if you eat a lot of forage grass while grazing, you will still be hungry at night. The amount of supplementary feed should be maintained and increased appropriately with the increase of the age of mutton sheep. Then two months before the column is the period of concentrated fattening, this time should be the focus of supplementary feeding, to increase the mixed concentrate. It is also necessary to increase the amount of rough feeding in winter.

The above is a brief introduction to the main points of fattening techniques of mutton sheep. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
