Key points of feeding and management techniques for black goat breeding rams

Management knowledge for black goat breeding rams. In the reproduction of black goat flocks, breeding rams play a role that cannot be ignored. The quality of the breeding ram directly affects the offspring, so ordinary farmers raising goats will select outstanding breeding rams. Many people raise Weiyan black goats because of their advantages such as large body size, strong disease resistance, and strong breeding ability of rams. Introducing Weiyan black goat breeding rams for improvement has generally achieved good results. To raise breeding rams, one must master knowledge such as feeding methods and breeding management.

How should black goat breeding rams be fed and managed? This requires farmers to standardize the management of black goat breeding rams, establish a normal daily feeding and management routine for breeding rams, and arrange well the feeding, drinking water, exercise, brushing, and rest of breeding rams, so that the breeding rams develop good living habits, maintain good body condition, improve breeding ability, and extend the service life of the breeding rams. Breeding rams must never be treated roughly, nor whipped. Teacher Liang Chunting told farmers that the normal growth and development and service life of black goat breeding rams are directly related to feeding and management, especially feeding during the young stage is even more important.

For the feeding of black goat breeding rams, the feed is required to be small in volume, rich in nutrition, highly palatable, and easy to digest. More protein feed and green hay should be fed, and less succulent and carbohydrate feed should be fed. Succulent feed and green roughage should generally account for less than 60% of the total nutrients in the diet, and should not be too much. Especially for growing rams, appropriately increasing the concentrate and reducing the amount of roughage in the diet affects breeding value. In order to improve the semen quality and sexual function of breeding rams, an appropriate amount of animal feed can be fed, such as blood meal, bone meal, eggs, etc.

What matters should be noted in the breeding of black goat breeding rams? Teacher Liang Chunting said that black goat breeding rams play a very important role in the flock. For young rams breeding for the first time, they can breed 2-3 times per week in the first month. Young rams should breed once every 2-3 days. Adult rams should preferably breed once a day, and occasionally twice, with one day of rest every 5-7 days. As for breeding time, in summer it should be in the early morning and evening, and in winter when it is warm. They must not be fed or given water one hour before and after breeding, and it is strictly forbidden to rinse the body with cold water after breeding. After a ram has a fever, it is forbidden to use it for one month. (Submitted by Rural Notes)
