What are the breeding methods for ewes to produce more lambs?

How can you make ewes produce more lambs? This should be the issue sheep farmers care about most, as it directly affects everyone's sheep-farming profits. Below, China Sheep Farming Network gives you 6 methods. You can try them to make sheep farming more profitable!

Feeding more green forage and succulent feed and less grain feed can result in more female lambs.

Feed more feed with a high calcium content. When female goats eat feed with a high calcium content, the proportion of sodium and potassium in the egg is lower than that of calcium. After the egg combines with sperm, it develops more often into a female lamb, and the rate of female lambs can reach more than 90%.

Using neutral VB12 injection as a thawing agent for frozen semen improves sperm vitality and the conception rate, which can increase the chance of ewes producing female lambs.

About 30 minutes before mating or artificial insemination, inject 5% arginine 2-3 cm into the cervix of the female goat, which can improve the vitality of sperm carrying the X chromosome.

Mate on sunny days. Generally, mate between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. First let the ewe stand facing the sun for about 30 minutes. The rate of female lambs from ewes can reach more than 95%.

The number of male and female lambs produced by ewes often varies depending on the stud ram. When a stud ram that has not been used for mating for a long time is used for mating, ewes produce more male lambs, while when a stud ram used frequently for mating is used, female goats produce more female lambs. In addition, the production of male and female lambs is also restricted by the stud ram's own heredity. For example, if a female goat produces more male lambs when mated with a certain ram, then mating with another stud ram may result in more female lambs.
