How to feed ordinary sheep

First, the technical points that need to be paid attention to in raising sheep

1. Suitable place to build a shed: the sheep shed should be located in a high, dry and sunny place. There should be a feeding area of 10-20 square meters in front of the sheephouse, and a fixed feeding trough and drinking utensils should be installed. There should be drains outside the house, and bamboo mats or cement floors should be laid inside. In winter, plastic film should be used to fix the shed in cold areas, which can increase the temperature of the shed by 4-7℃, which is beneficial to the growth of sheep. Different types of disinfectants (such as 20% lime milk and 10% bleaching powder solution) should be used in turn to disinfect sheephouses, sports grounds, feeding troughs, drinking utensils, feeding tools and fences regularly.

2. Timely isolation: Sheep raised in sheds should be isolated according to the factory production mode, and sheep of different ages, breeds and physical conditions should be raised separately, and special delivery rooms, lamb houses, mutton sheep houses, ewe houses, ram houses and sick sheep isolation houses should be set up, and corresponding feeding management measures should be taken.

3. Breeding of improved varieties: select excellent varieties with large size, fast growth, high reproduction rate, strong adaptability, good meat quality and high efficiency according to local conditions. South African Boer goat is the first choice of male parents, followed by China Matou goat. The female parent can be Sanyan goat, Hebei white goat, etc.

4. Breeding and breeding management: regularly exchange breeding rams from other places, number breeding rams and breeding ewes, establish breeding files, record the number, breeding time, breeding methods and lambing of breeding sheep in detail, control the mating of breeding rams and breeding ewes in a planned way, and avoid breed degradation caused by inbreeding.

5. Moderate scale: the scale of raising sheep should be moderate, which can be determined according to the existing cultivated land, forage, labor and investment. Generally, it is appropriate to raise about 20 fertile ewes, and the annual income can reach 1 ten thousand yuan. As a family, we may not be able to spend so much money at once. At the beginning of breeding, we should not covet scale, but constantly explore and summarize breeding experience and develop by snowballing.

6. Reasonable density: Sheep are ruminants and need to eat and ruminate for a long time in a day. Therefore, the sheepfold should have enough slots and activity space, and the activity area of each sheep should be 1.5-2.5 square meters.

7. High-quality feed: Sheep are domestic animals that mainly eat roughage, supplemented by concentrated feed. Raising sheep is best to plant grass on a large scale, so that fresh grass can be eaten all year round. Sheep farmers should open up special land for green fodder and artificially plant alfalfa, ryegrass and other pastures. In addition to feeding grass in summer and autumn, grass can also be dried into green hay after harvest in autumn or made into silage for sheep to eat.

Corn can also be planted as silage for sheep to eat all the year round. When preparing concentrated feed, besides a certain amount of corn, protein feed such as soybean meal, bran, fish meal and bone meal should be matched in proportion. In addition, if a proper amount of compound feed additives such as rumen metabolism regulator and urea slow-release agent are added, the benefit will be better. In addition, large-scale sheep raising must have clean drinking water for sheep to drink.

8. Raising sheep to prevent diseases: goats raised in groups are prone to diseases, mainly lamb dysentery, streptococcosis, infectious pustulosis, nematodiasis and sheep lice. To implement the policy of "prevention is more important than cure", we must also do a good job in vaccination and comprehensive prevention and control of key diseases.

9. Scientific management: Large-scale sheep raising should be based on self-reproduction and self-support, with reasonable grouping. If grazing, it is necessary to divide the area and take turns grazing. And pay attention to the management of brushing teeth and horseshoes.

10, timely castration: for fattening lambs, it is best to castrate within 7-2 1 day after birth. At this time, castration is beneficial to improve the quality of meat, and make it docile, easy to manage and fatten quickly.

Second, the matters needing attention for beginners to raise sheep.

1. For beginners, don't always think about having two children a year or three children every two years. You can make money by raising and managing a child every year. The key is to produce at a good time, not as early as you did, and it is best to produce at the end of the month! Improving the survival rate and timely sales of babies is not to earn more if you produce more, but it may be inversely proportional!

2. Forage should be planted in different seasons, with high yield and fast growth in spring and autumn, and winter grass can be planted, such as winter grazing 70 ryegrass. If there is no condition for stocking, it is necessary to comprehensively utilize straw for micro-storage and ammoniation!

3. To invest in raising sheep in the pen, you have to divide the money equally. One is to buy sheep, the other is to build a sheepfold and silage cellar, and the other is feed money. If you don't buy all the sheep, there will be no money behind, and the capital chain will be broken, a vicious circle! Raising sheep is difficult!

Don't always think that the more sheep you have, the more you will earn. This is not absolute. Some novices raise two more sheep in order to save costs and earn more money with limited money. You're right. Here's the theory. Finally, I couldn't wait to go to the breeding ground, pull the unweaned lamb out, put it in the car and left. Dude, are you raising sheep with your life? I don't know, the risk of raising sheep has increased several times, because the sheep are too small (lambs are difficult to take care of, especially before weaning), so use your only experience to break through. If you have no experience, the money you earn is limited. It is shrinking. What kind of confidence and passion did you cultivate in the second year?

Some novices hire people to raise sheep directly, but they also start from the shopkeeper themselves. In this way, they usually hire people. Those who are not very clever are trying to lower people's wages, but raising sheep is a delicate job. It is not difficult to say that it is bitter, and it is not difficult to say that you don't have to shoulder heavy burdens, but you should be careful, observe more, find it early and treat it early! Please ask smarter people to raise it. If someone treats your sheep as an experiment, you will lose and your salary will be indispensable! You won it, and he learned skills. People quit, so he went home and did it himself. Why do you want to work for you? Raising sheep is not a big investment. With your experience, he can grow up from childhood! By that time, the blind will really eat noodles and rob the building. Good management is the key.

6. You don't need too cunning people to raise sheep. Really cunning people won't raise sheep! But he is also a man who needs to know science. Raising sheep means honesty. You didn't calculate. You are dealing with animals. It's no use playing tricks! If you have love, he can repay you! Say something unpleasant, you have to raise him as a son! ! ! ! You can keep it.

7. Don't raise people with low psychological quality. If you can't afford to lose money, don't raise them. If you work, you won't lose money. Then you'd better work It is common for a real extended family to die 70-80 people every year. A person sighs all day after one or two sheep have died, thinking that he has lost thousands of sheep ... and his heart aches all day, but this is the correct way to find out the reason and how to avoid it next time!

8. Those who want to invest in sheep this year and make big money next year. Instead of throwing cold water on you, give up this idea as soon as possible and return to your job! Any industry is risky and technical. There is a huge difference between a good profit increase and a bad profit increase.

Third, raising sheep requires mastering the technology of planting grass and raising sheep.

1. Suitable varieties can be alfalfa, 70 pairs of rye and Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica per pasture. Clover, clover, Rumex and other forage varieties have high yield, high quality and strong adaptability.

2. The appropriate scale should be determined according to the family labor force and equipment conditions, and then the planting area should be determined according to the breeding scale. Under normal circumstances, three acres of forage can feed 15-20 adult animals all year round. The reproductive speed of sheep is slow, and the annual growth rate is only about three times that of ewes at the beginning of the year. Therefore, the planting area of pasture depends on the number of breeding sheep and the development speed, so as to meet the supply without wasting.

3. The principle of determining the suitable stubble layout is to increase the forage yield per unit area and ensure that fresh green forage can be eaten all year round. The following modes are often used in production: (1) The reasonable combination of alfalfa and Dongmu 70 rye can ensure the balanced supply of sheep sijiqing feed. (2) Rumex K-l hybrid Rumex interplanting ryegrass or 70 rye in the field.

4. The correct feeding of adult sheep needs about 4 kilograms of green feed every day, and excessive feeding of green grass is easy to cause diarrhea. In the case of sufficient fresh feed, the proportion of bran in concentrated feed should be appropriately increased (bran should account for about 40% of the total concentrated feed). Rumex K- 1 hybrid Rumex has high water content, so it should be properly controlled when feeding. Alfalfa and clover are easy to cause swelling and pain when fed alone, so they should be fed together with other grasses. Sudan grass and Mexican corn seedlings contain hydrocyanic acid, so they should be slightly aired after harvest and before feeding.

Fourth, raising sheep needs to master disease prevention and control.

Sheep will get sick while growing, but it is still much less than raising pigs. At present, the development of sheep industry tends to intensive and large-scale farming. Due to the concentration of sheep, it has brought favorable conditions for controlling and eliminating infectious diseases, and also created opportunities for the easy occurrence of epidemics. Therefore, in order to ensure the health of sheep, large sheep farms must adhere to the policy of "prevention first, prevention is more important than treatment" and formulate a set of strict comprehensive health and epidemic prevention measures to prevent pathogens from invading sheep, thus ensuring the healthy development of sheep industry.
