What are the difficulties in raising sheep on a large scale?

At present, mutton sheep breeding mostly depends on rural retail investors, and there are few large-scale farms. Large-scale sheep raising is only suitable for large enterprises with sufficient funds and mature breeding technology.

There are two main difficulties in raising sheep on a large scale: first, large investment; Second, the cycle is long. To build a farm of the same scale, the cycle of sheep is twice as long as that of pigs, with large investment, slow effect and long cycle, which is unbearable for ordinary people. Feed problem is also a difficult problem in large-scale sheep breeding. Sheep are herbivores, and there is not much concentrated feed for raising sheep, but the most important problem to be solved is where the forage comes from. A lot of land is needed to grow grass and raise sheep.

At the same time, epidemic prevention, feeding management technology, environmental protection, financing and other issues are unavoidable problems in large-scale sheep raising. ?
