Black goats are expensive, so how should you raise them properly?

The black goat is a goat whose meat is extremely tender and fresh, with a mutton odor smaller than that of ordinary goats. On this point alone, it stands out enough to win consumers' affection. The meat of the black goat can also help boost immunity, and its cholesterol content is also very low. It is very suitable for elderly people to eat. As a result, black goat farming has also become increasingly popular. So let's follow the editor of Tuliu.com to learn about black goat raising methods.

Black Goat Raising Methods

1. Raising Rams

1. In order to improve the breeding quality and the length of use of rams, to allow the good genes of black goats to continue to be passed on, and to ensure that the offspring can have very good genetic traits, management of the feed for breeding rams should be strengthened. Especially when grazing, you must find suitable places. It is best to have fresh green hay.

2. When mixing feed, you should also pay attention; it is best to choose nutrient-rich concentrated feed. Mixed feed only needs to be supplemented with 0.1 to 0.3 kg per day. You can also buy some mineral blocks and let the rams lick them themselves, but they only need to be given two to three times per week.

3. Young rams reach sexual maturity at four to six months, and can be used for breeding at six to eight months. Breed once or twice a day, at most twice; if too often, the ram will also become physically exhausted, affecting the quality of the next breeding. If it is peak season, the most suitable season for breeding, they can breed three to four times, but after breeding you must also be sure to let them rest for one day. After breeding is completed, it is best to ensure at least six hours of exercise every day to restore strength.

2. Raising Ewes

1. In order to improve the mating conception rate of ewes and to ensure that the lambs are strong and free of any defects, the ewes must have a healthy and strong body. As long as the ewe's physical condition is very good, then the lambs' bodies will not be very poor either. Therefore, during the ewe's pregnancy, good feeding management must be done. You can first feed the ewe some very high-quality forage grass. While feeding forage grass, you can also appropriately supplement some concentrated feed; you can use ewe-specific concentrated feed mixed with cornmeal and then feed it.

2. After mating, for pregnant ewes in the first three months, in addition to ensuring sufficient roughage, you can also supplement some concentrated feed every day, about 200 grams, and you can appropriately feed a little more.

3. After about three months, the daily supplementary feed must include 300 to 500 grams of concentrated feed, and each ewe should also be provided with a certain amount of salt every day. When raising them in pens, they must not be kept in a very crowded sheep pen, otherwise, because of squeezing each other, miscarriage can easily occur.

4. In daily life during pregnancy, do not let ewes graze in turns together with rams and other adult goats. Prevent contact with or bumping into the ewe, which could cause miscarriage. Ewes must not be given immunization injections, nor can they be given deworming drugs, otherwise the use of the drugs will make the ewe's pregnancy very unstable. Miscarriage can easily be caused, which will not only lose more lambs, but also harm the ewe's own reproductive system.

The above is the content about how black goats should be fed. I hope it can help more farmers, in the process of farming, to be able to choose small-scale farming. Especially when farming black goats, it is recommended that you can choose six to eight head to start with small-scale farming. If any problems appear, you can also take timely countermeasures, but if the farming scale is too large and you have no experience at all, it will instead bring unnecessary losses.
