Key Points of White Goat Farming Technology and a Detailed Guide to Raising Methods
The white goat is a type of goat, and there are more than a dozen different breeds in our country. The white goat actually also has a relatively long history in our country, with a large population and a wide distribution range. Its growth ability and adaptability are stronger than those of the black goat. Although the output of meat, milk and so on is not high, it is simple to raise, has a high net meat rate, and its economic value is also very good. So how should white goats be raised? Below, the editor brings you the farming technology for white goats. Let's take a look together!
1. Building the goat shed
Although the white goat has strong adaptability, when raising it, the goat shed should still be built in a place with higher terrain, dry conditions and strong ventilation, to further improve the growth ability of the white goat. The goat shed should preferably be warm in winter and cool in summer, and able to adjust the temperature in time, so that seasonal changes affect the growth of the white goat. Also, around the goat shed, there should be sufficient forage resources for the white goat to eat. The goat shed should also be far away from noisy and polluted places such as urban areas and factories, to ensure the forage and drinking water are clean and provide a suitable growing environment for the white goat.
2. Lamb management
Lamb management is very important for the subsequent raising of white goats. After the lamb grows to about 1-2 months old, the mother white goat's milk can no longer meet the nutrition needed for the lamb's growth. So we need to train the lamb to eat feed in advance, and generally around one week of age, work to entice it to eat is needed. At 2-4 weeks, feed about 60 grams of feed per day, and at 3 months, feed about two hundred grams per day. This can both let the lamb gradually adapt to feed and supplement the nutrition needed for the lamb's growth. Weaning of the lamb should be carried out at around 3-4 months, to increase the number of years the mother white goat can be used and improve farming benefits.
3. Grazing management
The grazing work of raising goats is very important. We can graze white goats by riversides, grasslands and forage areas. If forage resources are scarce or unavailable, then sufficient feed must be ensured. When grazing, pay attention to the environment around the grazing area, and do not graze in polluted, dirty and messy areas, to avoid affecting the growth of white goats and causing disease. During the peak forage period, they can be grazed for a whole day, feeding about 4000 grams of forage. But be careful to avoid hot time periods such as noon. If forage resources are insufficient, after grazing and returning to the shed, supplementary feeding should also be done. If it rains while grazing, they should take shelter from the rain in time and do a good job of cold protection.
4. Disease prevention and control
Disease prevention and control are closely related to the growth of white goats. During the raising process, we must do a good job of disease prevention and control for white goats. Especially during high-incidence periods of influenza such as winter and spring, special attention should be paid to epidemic infectious diseases such as goat plague and braxy. Do a good job of disinfecting the goat shed, and carry out regular immunization work every year according to procedures, to enhance the disease resistance of white goats. Then reasonably adjust the raising environment to prevent the raising environment from deteriorating and breeding bacteria, which can lead to disease. Finally, control the entry and exit of animals, people and vehicles around the goat shed well, to avoid carrying pathogens and spreading them, harming the growth of white goats.
The above is a brief introduction to white goat farming technology. When raising them, we must do a good job of management, improve the environment, reduce the pathogen base, and enhance the immunity of white goats, to avoid unnecessary losses. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can be helpful to everyone!
