Detailed explanation of the preparation and feeding methods of breeding feed

I. Preparation and feeding methods of root and tuber feed

Root and tuber feed refers to root crops, tubers, or melons and fruits, etc. It is characterized by high moisture content, soft texture, rich sugar content, easy digestion, good palatability, and rich in vitamins. It is an important feed material for supplementary feeding of breeding sheep, lambs, and ewes in winter. After harvesting root and tuber feed, it is generally stored in indoor piles or in cellars; before storage, it can be slightly air-dried to remove surface moisture.

??? Before feeding, root and tuber feed should be washed clean of soil, chopped, and then fed either as a separate supplement or mixed with concentrate; never feed sheep whole pieces of root and tuber feed, so as to avoid causing esophageal blockage.

II. Preparation and feeding methods of concentrate feed.

Concentrate feed refers to crop grains, feed meal, and animal protein feed. Its processing method is mainly to use it as a supplement after grinding. Concentrate feed is required to be made from a variety of grains and cakes.

??? Do not feed too much, otherwise the sheep are prone to illness.
