Know the sheep first.

Sheep is the collective name of sheep subfamily, including mammals, Artiodactyla, cattle and sheep subfamily, and it is one of the domestic animals raised by human beings. Hairy quadruped ruminant, the main source of wool. Goats and sheep are mainly raised in China.

Goat: goat (same family, different genera)

Genetically,

Sheep: Chromosome 2n=54

Goat: Chromosome 2n=60.

Originated from the same ancestor, because 60 million years ago, the same ancestor 2n=60 occurred.

Robertsonian translocation led to partial fusion of chromosomes, forming sheep 2n=54.

Goats and sheep rarely produce hybrid offspring after mating

Let me talk about raising sheep.

Sheep farming is very special. Compared with other animal husbandry, sheep farming is not a special farming industry, but large-scale farming has really blossomed everywhere in recent years. It is said to be ancient because sporadic farming has a long history, which is needed by illiterate women and children, and the elderly with crutches can know, know and do it.

Large-scale farming is different from those sporadic farming in the past. Although they have their own lessons, they are more fundamentally different.

As an industry, it is necessary to raise sheep as an industry and gain income by raising sheep. Why do people make money with others? No matter which industry, it is the same. If we all make money or lose money, this industry will not exist.

Why raise sheep?

1 Have a clear attitude and correct understanding.

We raise sheep, not as a sideline, but to earn some oil and salt sauce. We are in business, and we are going to make a fortune from it.

Raising sheep requires comprehensive and systematic investigation and analysis, relevant resources (reserves) accumulation (technology), courage, perseverance, determination and courage, doing one thing, loving one thing and drilling one thing, in order to raise sheep well.

When doing business, you should have the appearance of doing business. You can't build a good car behind closed doors, and you can't get good grades just by fantasy. You should study more and communicate more.

Abundant natural resources

Weeds, shrub branches and leaves, vines, leftovers from agricultural and sideline products processing, farmland straws piled up on mountains, and high-quality pastures produced by cheap land are all sources. If these are fully developed and utilized, the output of mutton products will increase by more than 100 times. This is the potential, which has great potential to be developed and utilized by us.

If we take high-quality forage grass as the foundation, add various farm straws, green roughage obtained by various other ways, and leftovers from the processing of agricultural and sideline products, some of them can even raise fat and good sheep without or with less concentrated feed.

3 change living conditions

Raising sheep can change living conditions. Someone asked how much money a ewe can earn by raising sheep a year. There are no specific standards. Generally calculated at 1000 yuan. Good management, maybe more; Poor management, maybe less.

Raising sheep is a very good project for the government to help the poor accurately at present. It doesn't need much labor and space. A large number of natural resources can be utilized, and those with conditions can be raised more and those with conditions can be raised less.

The local government strongly supports the development of sheep industry.

In order to develop mutton sheep production, each county and city has its own subsidy policy.
