Sheep technology (goat articles)

 First, the goat breeds
goat breeds are many, according to the existing varieties can be divided into: dairy goats, goat wool, fur kid goat, cashmere goat meat and goat meat.
Second, breeding management,
1, grazing: grazing goats feeding habits of compliance. grazing, the sheep grazing green feed variety, easy access to comprehensive nutrition, increasing physical activity, sun exposure received, and all weather exercise is conducive to sheep growth and development, and enhance immunity against the disease. Meanwhile, more economical sheep grazing, feeding and management can reduce costs, reduce production costs. where there are grazing areas, grazing can be kept almost. grazing sheep eat grass to make both, fast increasing fat, but also to improve pasture utilization. in grazing technology must be based on , lactation, feeding lambs, meat, wool. Therefore, the technical emphasis on grazing a bushes, grass, good quality, good place for good water quality, not the local grazing in low humidity, parasites and other diseases to prevent infection. If a small number of sheep farmers, can be led or tied to animal husbandry, animal husbandry; keeping the number of long time, they should be each year in early spring before the grass began to feed the sheep according to species, sex, age, health, and is divided into: adult male sheep, adult sheep groups, breeding sheep and lambs groups for clustering grazing.
(1) led release: Members of the sheep grazing sheep grazing led front. This law is conducive to live to see the sheep grazing for the plains, hills and mountains, and grazing season.
(2) to catch a release: Members of the sheep grazing The sheep grazing followed. conducive to stabilize a few sheep for plains, hilly areas and in spring and autumn grazing.
(3) waiting for release: the regular members of grazing grazing grazing Road or when the foot of the hill to catch up with the highway sheep grazing sheep to reach staff cut corners come the end of waiting for the sheep, this method saves labor. for no farmland, no young trees, no animals grazing damage the slopes. and much less in the grass or hay of use.
(4) led by animal husbandry: a few grazing sheep holding a rope member, choose a better grass, so that the sheep ad libitum. for a small number of those sheep.
(5) suppository, animal husbandry: sheep, is to use a long rope to fasten the other end to fasten the small wooden sticks, nailed to the ground at any time, so that sheep grazing freely within the control of the day can be changed in several places. for small groups less labor households.
depending on the season, choose pasture to sheep. morning out in the grass when the first small animal husbandry, where grazing, the sheep do not begin to overeat too much to prevent disease-causing. sheep are salt habit of grazing to the attention of Buwei salt. pay attention to water summer hot days, water is more important, the sheep into the drinking water field, pause a moment to let the sheep only to drink, to prevent the water too fast, strayed into the trachea. in the cold, winter pregnant sheep not to drink cold water . More avoid empty stomach to drink chilled water, to prevent causing a miscarriage.
2, keeping
(1) ram: feeding the rams for breeding, to have the fat of the superior, robust, lively, energy abundant, sexually active, too fat too thin is not conducive to breeding. ram feed, can be adapted to local conditions, higher nutritional value of feed, digestible, palatable, to ensure a daily intake ram a sufficient number of multi- various kinds of green fodder. shall be given during the breeding soybean cake, peanut cake, eggs, etc. with high protein feed. but also supplies salt, bone meal high in minerals such as feed, to ensure their nutritional needs. ram every day, including grazing have 6-7 hours exercise. lack of exercise, poor appetite will ram, poor digestion, or constipation, affect the precision and sperm vitality. pay attention to the number of control breeding, generally 1-2 days semen individual Tizhuang the ram 3 times better. farmhouse sheep should pay attention to male and female decomposition, if the mixed feeding group will affect the normal use of ram, and prone to premature breeding ewes or mess with. a hot day It should be noted for the ram to create cool conditions to improve their fertility, ram scrub every day, so the sheep body to keep clean. ram-based feeding to grazing, even feeding, but also to make species Rams have some grazing time. in a good breeding place when the grazing grass to choose, put close to grazing. grazing Do not let it run around or Pa Kua.
(2) types of ewes: ewes can be divided into air situation period, early pregnancy, late pregnancy, early lactation, late lactation five stages. empty of ewes pregnant is to maintain a good body condition, to the normal estrus, ovulation and pregnancy, for more than a re-breeding, in a rut period, accompanied by 1-2 times on it. pregnant ewes need more nutrients, to meet the general grazing, the grass season, no feeding; hay season, can Buwei some hay. trimester, the rapid growth of the fetus, newborn lambs 90% weight increase at this time, if undernourished ewes, newborn lambs is small, the survival rate is low, resistance is low, easy death. and because of ewes Biaoqing well, to the lack of milk during lactation also. Thus, in addition to grazing, the need to supplement with high protein and minerals, vitamin-rich diet, such as plenty of grass, soybean, raw bran, wheat bran, bone meal, salt and so on. ewes in late pregnancy can not be grazing in the rain, and to gradually increase the size of a small, easy to digest, nutritious diet. 1-3 days before labor, it is best not to feed concentrate, feed only high-quality hay, to prevent indigestion or the occurrence of mastitis. pregnant ewes should pay attention to miscarriage, to prevent abortion. it should be separated from the flock to carve seriously take care to avoid far, animal husbandry, or in the slope, concave to grazing, to prevent Jizou, bolted, Wrestling, and vigorous activity , is strictly prohibited to play the sheep. spring to try to avoid drinking cold water ewes in summer to prevent the sheep eat weeds exposed in winter to prevent frost sheep eat grass in order to avoid abortion. lamb nutrition mainly depends on breast milk, therefore the need to strengthen early lactation ewes feeding, a number of conditions when they Buwei feed and concentrate juicy. lactating later, Lamb has been able to crush the mixed concentrate feed, sheep grazing in addition, the can Buwei some hay and concentrate. in the management , we should pay attention to maintaining regular clean, dry environmental conditions, good cleaning, disinfection.
(3) breast-feeding a lamb: lamb growth and development of fast plasticity, adaptive capacity, resistance to poor, sick, high mortality rate. Therefore, to enhance feeding lactating ewes, the ewes milk enough to parent children strong fertilizer; promote lamb as early as the beginning of milk and eat and eat often enough milk, feeding the lamb in a timely manner, to ewes Ziyang to be careful and meticulous care management. lambs 1-3 days after birth, we must allow the ewes to eat 1-3 days after delivery of endocrine mm colostrum milk. colostrum thick, yellow, with particularly rich in nutrients, favorable Lamb growth and development; with antibodies and more beneficial to lambs against various diseases; containing minerals and more, especially with the laxative effect of magnesium and more, can promote the excretion of meconium, clean the intestinal tract. If no meconium to row Lamb will cause constipation. lactating sheep milk is the main source of nutrients. As lambs grow fast, digestive function is not fully developed, can not be more green roughage intake, with particular attention to feeding lamb and more. newborn lamb robust, or early producing ewes, ewes babysitter is not strong, need artificial aids. assisted several times, ewe lambs will find a breast pump.
fed lamb to do a good job. lambs 15 days after birth is necessary to induce eat hay. the quality of the young hay, tied with a rope, breast-feeding a lamb in the column of suspension can also be chopped on the trough, let ad libitum. mixed concentrate the supply, the initial feeding of material texture should be loose, easily digested and contains high starch feed, the amount of feed should be less to more, do not use beans or a high fat diet, avoiding difficult to digest and cause enteritis. to time, and quantity, so the lamb for malnutrition and weight loss, or diarrhea due to eating too much. To do a good job of grazing lambs, initial animal husbandry should be with the ewes, a short time, put the past, animal husbandry, in the flat, grass looks a good place for good grazing .
for lamb to create dry, clean, warm conditions in order to reduce disease and ensure healthy lambs, weaned lambs to do a good job. lambs weaned at 2-4 months of age, usually around weaning time can be kept to determine the level and weight. weaned, if the strength of uneven growth and development of lamb can be divided into sub-weaning.
(4) bred lambs: the first mating after weaning to the time of the public and ewes. In addition to do a good job of grazing, the but also according to the circumstances of the sheep were fed, the sick sheep in a large number of grass outside Buwei, where appropriate, make a small amount of fine material, to ensure adequate amount of exercise. Public ewes to clustering, so as to promote the development, control of size, to prevent chaos delivery, early distribution.
