Let's learn three key points of mutton sheep breeding.
1. diversification
Breed is the first condition to improve the economic benefit of raising sheep, and the quality of breed directly determines the production performance, feed consumption, feeding cycle and feed-meat ratio of sheep.
Experience shows that the number of weaned lambs per litter can be increased by 1~2, the weight gain can be increased by 10%~30%, and the feed utilization rate can be increased by 10%~ 15%.
Improved varieties grow faster than local sheep and have shorter feeding cycle, which can increase economic benefits 10%~ 12%.
feed
Feed is the basis of raising sheep, and it is the key factor to the success or failure of raising sheep.
Generally speaking, the cost of feed accounts for 70%~80% of the cost of raising sheep.
Therefore, reasonable selection, utilization and development of feed, improving feed return rate and reducing feed consumption rate play a decisive role in improving the economic benefits of raising sheep.
3. Epidemic prevention
Once an epidemic situation breaks out in a sheep farm, it will definitely cause huge economic losses and even disasters, so epidemic prevention is particularly important.
Farmers should inject vaccines such as sheep's four defenses, foot-and-mouth disease and sheep pox according to immunization procedures, and pay attention to the mental state, appetite and feces of sheep at any time.
When an infectious disease or suspected infectious disease occurs, it should be isolated immediately, and the veterinarian should be invited to observe and treat it in time. Dead sheep should be buried or burned.
When ewes give birth in summer, avermectin can be used to drive away nematodes in vivo and parasites such as lice, mites, ticks, flies and maggots in vitro.
To sum up, that's all for today. Sheep farmers can learn more about it and hope to learn something useful to you!
