Which crop straw is best for raising sheep? In recent years, national forest protection and the closing of hills for grazing have meant that some pastoral areas are not allowed to graze cattle or sheep; instead they have switched to: penned sheep, penned cattle; because grass sources are limited, crop straw must be used to raise sheep, so which crop straw is most suitable for raising sheep and is good for sheep health and growth? For reference only.

Straw ranked from best to worst:

1. Carrot leaves and stems, vegetable leaves, etc.

2. Peanut straw

3. Sweet potato vines

4. Soybean straw

5. Corn straw

6. Rice straw

7. Wheat straw

Among the above, carrots are the best for raising sheep, but this kind of feed is very scarce, so sheep raising generally uses peanut straw, soybean straw, and corn straw, and Zhuanglekang is always used for fattening. If rice straw or wheat straw is used, it can be ammoniated; if it cannot be ammoniated, forage grass can be planted and fed together with straw, and our principle is to use as much variety as possible.

For example: if your local area has a lot of rice straw and corn straw and no other straw, then our suggestion is to feed the two straws mixed together.

For example: if your local area has a lot of wheat straw and soybean straw, then pair these two straws together.

For example: if the local area only has corn straw and no other straw, we buy in one of the above straws from elsewhere to feed together, or plant forage grass.

For example: if your local area only has wheat straw and ammoniation still cannot be achieved, then with a single feed, wheat straw itself has poor nutrition, and sheep will show signs of internal heat if they eat it for a long time; if forage grass also cannot be planted, then we can only say that we are not suited to raising sheep and should give up this industry.
