Six new technologies for raising sheep

The sheep industry is gradually shifting from the pastoral areas to the farming areas. However, it is difficult to obtain large economic benefits from the traditional extensive management of agricultural areas. Combining the introduction of excellent varieties, we will vigorously promote the following six kinds of new technologies that are easy to operate and master, which can greatly increase the economic benefits of raising sheep. I. Artificial insemination The promotion of this technology can greatly increase the utilization rate of breeding sheep, reduce the number of breeding rams, and save the cost of feeding and the purchase of excellent rams. In addition, the excellent rams are expensive and are currently at more than 10,000 yuan each. If the breeding method is used, breeding of cross-infection and spreading of certain diseases will be easily caused, and the rams will lose their breeding ability. The basic ewes lose their species. Use value. 2. Lamb supplementation and early weaning Lambs have been unable to meet their nutritional needs since they have reached the age of several weeks. Therefore, lambs should be trained to eat and feed for feeding. Generally start from 7 to 10 days of age, 15 to 30 days of age to feed 50 to 70 grams, 30 to 60 days to reach 100 grams, 60 to 90 days to reach 200 grams, to ensure that the lamb live full and fast growth , laying the foundation for early weaning and late fattening. Early weaning is carried out at 100 days of age, and no more than 4 months of age at the latest. This shortens the gap between lambs and increases the number of fetuses born within the ewes' useful life. III. Forage Processing Modulation After Feeding Sheep Traditional sheep feed is often not processed through any processing. For example, corn stalks are mostly fed with dry stalks of whole plants. This results in low digestion and utilization rates after feeding, which not only causes extremes in forage resources. Big waste, and the sheep grow only slowly, the feeding cycle is long, and the slaughter rate is low. Therefore, silage, ammoniation, fermentation and other feed preparation and processing technologies should be widely promoted to increase the economic benefits of raising sheep. IV. Facility breeding In the past, farmers used sheep to raise sheep in the open air for raising sheep. The sheep tend to grow in summer, autumn, winter, and spring. Therefore, if you want to increase the efficiency of raising sheep, you should promote facility breeding and construct a sheep house or warm house with a reasonable layout. In this way, both in summer and winter, the flock has a comfortable living environment that promotes rapid growth and weight gain. The rational construction and layout of the breeding facilities can greatly reduce the occurrence of diseases. It is more economical to spend money on the building of a sheep house than to spend money on medicines and drugs. Moreover, excessive use of drugs can lead to drug residues. V. Integrated Disease Prevention and Control Technology Disease is a major threat to the production of sheep. It should focus on the prevention of communicable diseases and adhere to the principle of prevention. Regular expulsion of parasites inside and outside the goat, attention to the sanitation and disinfection of the pens, often observed in the daily management of sheep spirit, diet, feces, etc. are normal, so that no illness early prevention, early detection of disease, early treatment. 6. Economical Crossbreeding The use of meat-excellent rams and local ewes for binary or ternary crossbreeding will produce superior hybrid lambs and fattening to produce commercial mutton sheep. Hybrid goats not only grow fast, but also have high feed rewards. They also have good meat quality, tenderness, high selling prices, and good economic returns.
