How to improve the fecundity of mutton sheep

Mutton sheep are farmed in all parts of our country, and the market price of mutton is high, so it is welcomed by many people. When raising mutton sheep, we should pay attention to the breeding of mutton sheep in order to ensure the continuous and efficient breeding of mutton sheep. Therefore, many people are very concerned about improving the fecundity of mutton sheep. So how can we improve the fecundity of mutton sheep? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Increase the proportion of ewes of appropriate age.

When raising sheep, the proportion of ewes of appropriate age in the whole flock has a great influence on the multiplication and breeding benefit of the flock. Usually the proportion of ewes of appropriate age should be maintained at about 65% of the whole flock. At the same time, we had better be able to ensure that the lambs can be fattened in the same year. Ewes such as the old, weak, sick and disabled should be eliminated in time, so as to increase the proportion of ewes of appropriate age in the flock. Then it is necessary to determine the mating time of ewes to avoid excessive lambing interval and increase the lambing proportion of ewes, so as to improve the fecundity of mutton sheep.

2. Improve the feeding level of breeder sheep.

Feed has a great effect on the fecundity of breeder sheep. A good feeding level can not only improve the libido of ram, but also improve the semen quality of ram. For ewes, it is conducive to estrus and increase the number of ovulation during estrus. Therefore, strengthening the breeding of mutton sheep is the key measure to ensure the reproductive ability of mutton sheep. Special attention should be paid to breeding sheep during the mating period and about 45 days before mating to ensure full fat mating as far as possible. Improve the ewe estrus uniformity and ovulation, so as to improve the conception rate. Then it is necessary to do a good job in raising ewes in the late pregnancy and lactation period, so as to restore the body condition of ewes as soon as possible and ensure the next normal reproduction.

3. Timely breeding

Timely breeding is also very important for the fecundity of mutton sheep. For some mutton sheep breeds that can be in estrus all year round, they are generally able to mate in estrus at all times of the year. However, in the high temperature in summer and severe cold in winter, it will still have a certain impact on the breeding of mutton sheep. Therefore, most mutton sheep will still be in estrus in spring and autumn, so we must pay attention to timely identification of mutton sheep estrus and timely breeding. Especially in the first estrus, at the same time, we should also do a good job in the diagnosis of pregnant ewes to prevent empty pregnancy and strengthen fetal protection. This is also a strong guarantee to improve the fecundity of mutton sheep and improve the efficiency of raising sheep.

4. Strengthen epidemic prevention

In the process of breeding, for some congenital dysplasia and aging sheep, it should be eliminated in time. If it is malnourished, then the feeding method should be properly improved to promote recovery as soon as possible. If affected by infectious diseases, then it is necessary to do a good job of epidemic prevention, timely isolation and breeding, sick sheep will be eliminated. If it is a general disease that causes sheep infertility, it should be diagnosed and treated in time to ensure that the reproductive function can be restored as soon as possible. Then in production as much as possible to reduce the phenomenon of infertility caused by human factors, such as too much semen collection and so on.

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