How to raise sheep with fermented bedding? A detailed explanation of the technical points
Fermented bedding is an environmentally friendly, safe and effective ecological farming method proposed by combining a brand-new natural agricultural concept with modern microbial fermentation treatment technology. Raising sheep on fermented bedding works on the same principle as raising pigs, and the operation is basically similar, but because the living habits of goats differ greatly from those of pigs, there are some special points to note in certain operations. Below let us take a look at fermented bedding sheep-raising technology together!
Site selection requirements
Goats are by nature fond of cleanliness and require clean, fresh feed and drinking water, and they require a dry, well-ventilated pen; low-lying, damp and foul-air environments easily lead to parasitic diseases and hoof diseases. Therefore, the pen should as far as possible be chosen on dry, flat, wind-sheltered, sun-facing land, and sandy soil that is breathable and permeable to water is best. If the terrain around the pen is relatively low, the ground can be treated as a "stilt house" with slatted floors, leaving a space of 10-20 cm below to avoid excess water soaking the bedding, and also to avoid the surrounding.
Bedding preparation ⟧7⟧The thickness of the fermented bedding layer for raising sheep is generally slightly less than that of a pigpen fermented bed, calculated at 40-50 cm, and the bedding source can be sawdust used alone or a combination of sawdust, rice husks and straw.
The thickness of the fermentation bed litter layer for raising sheep is generally slightly less than that of a pig pen fermentation bed, calculated at 40-50 cm; the litter source can be sawdust used alone or a combination of sawdust, rice husks, and straw.
Strain preparation
1. Dosage: 1 kg of fermentation agent can build 10-12 square meters of sheep pen; the area of a single pen must not be too small, and 40-50 square meters is recommended; the stocking density must not be too high, and it is recommended that each sheep occupy about 2 square meters.
2. Dilution: The fermentation agent must be evenly mixed and diluted with rice bran (or cornmeal) at a ratio of bacterial agent : rice bran (or cornmeal) = 1:5 or more (fresh rice bran has better nutritional effect than old rice bran).
