Key points of short-term goat fattening technology, methods for rapid weight gain
Goat farming is a very common farming project in China, and the farming area in China is also very large. When raising goats, everyone certainly wants to fatten them out as quickly as possible to improve their farming benefits. Therefore, the short-term fattening work for goats is something many people pay close attention to. So how should goats be fattened in the short term? Below, the editor brings you the short-term goat fattening technology. Let's take a look!
1. Lamb fattening
When fattening goat lambs, it is generally divided into three periods: early, middle and late fattening. If the lamb fattening cycle is two months, then each period is about 20 days. In the early fattening period, first observe all aspects of the lambs, and adjust the feed formula according to the lambs' eating situation. Then in the middle fattening period, appropriately increase the feeding amount of feed, especially paying attention to the protein ratio. At the same time, also pay attention to ensuring the nutritional balance and quality of the feed, so as to ensure the normal growth of the goats.
In the late fattening period, we should not only increase the feeding amount of feed, but also pay attention to the fatness of the lambs, which is very critical to the goat meat quality. When increasing the feed, we should combine it with the body weight of the lambs, and reasonably adjust the management techniques and fattening plan according to the goats' weight gain and health conditions. The fattening feed for goats should maintain an appropriate amount of concentrate. For example, soybean cake, corn and wheat bran. In addition to adjusting the concentrate according to changes in the fattening period, an appropriate amount of roughage should also be provided.
2. Adult goat fattening
After goats reach adulthood, their fattening cycle is generally about two months. If the goats are in good body condition, they can be marketed in as short as 40 days. In that case, the early and late fattening periods are each 10 days, and the middle period is about 20 days. If the body condition is poor, then about 80 days are needed, with the early fattening period being 20 days and the middle and late periods each being 30 days. The feed for fattening goats should be reasonably allocated according to the actual situation of the goats. After about two months of fattening, if the goats reach a body weight of 40 jin and a pre-slaughter weight of about 90 jin, then they can be sold.
3. Disease prevention and control
If you want short-term fattening of goats, then disease prevention and control work is also very important. We should not only do a good job in routine vaccination work, but also pay attention to routine disinfection of the goat farm. It must be carried out strictly according to the vaccination procedure. For example, in March-April, vaccinate against goat pox. Then in February-March and September, inject sheep quadruple vaccine or sheep quintuple vaccine. Before preventive injection, pay attention to the validity period and production information of the vaccine, and keep records. The needles used for injection should be changed for each goat to avoid infection.
The above is a brief introduction to short-term goat fattening technology. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
