How to raise sheep well? Key points of sheep raising techniques and daily feeding management
Technology is constantly developing, people's living standards have improved, and the feeding management of sheep is also constantly progressing, so how do you raise sheep well?
Seed selection
First, in terms of sheep breeds, you can have farmers with relatively good breeding quality provide excellent breeds, and through heredity continuously increase the profit of raising sheep. Second, you can also invite experts in this field to provide guidance, or learn from breeding bases in other places to continuously improve the technical problems of raising sheep. This can also solve the sales problem well. After all, the purpose of raising sheep is to obtain profit, and selling for a good price is also what many people have in mind.
Hygiene
In the process of raising sheep, a relatively key point is hygiene. Most of the diseases sheep are infected with are mostly because the hygiene in the sheep shed has not been handled well. Therefore, in daily life, the sheep shed should be cleaned in a timely manner. Do not make excuses just because it will soon get dirty again. Moreover, vaccines are useless for some new diseases, so the manure in the sheep shed must be cleaned regularly, the sheep must also be bathed, and the sheep shed must maintain good ventilation to keep the air fresh.
Feed
As for feed, if it is not a very serious problem, it is best not to casually change the sheep's feed. Even if it needs to be changed, it should be added to the original feed in small amounts for the sheep, because sheep adapt to this very slowly. If a large amount is changed, the sheep's digestive system will be unable to adapt in a short time, causing problems such as poor appetite and indigestion.
Separate feeding
There is also a mistake that many people easily make in the breeding process, which is not classifying sheep by type and raising them all together. In fact, this is very unfavorable to the growth of ewes and lambs, because rams are more aggressive, so they may have a bad influence on lambs and ewes. Therefore, during the estrus period, the rams and ewes used for breeding can be kept together, and then fed separately. This is very favorable to the growth of ewes and lambs.
Breeding
Finally, what should be noted is the problem in breeding, because in the feeding process there will be blood relationships in the second generation. If this continues for a long time, the quality of the entire flock will decline. Therefore, when breeding, it is best to separate them, and then raise sheep with blood relationships in separate groups afterward. In this way, problems in this regard can be well avoided.
