“Beginning in the winter, as the weather gradually cools, the quantity of pasture decreases, the quality of grasses deteriorates, and the nutrients decline. This season, many farmer-raised sheep become skinny and some even die. To prevent this from happening Today, I told everyone how to do a good job of raising and managing winter sheep.†On November 14th, Nanjiang County Animal Husbandry Bureau researcher and Nanjiang Yellow Goat Breeding Expert Jia Zhenggui attended the Yangtan Technical Training Meeting of Yangtan Village in the last two townships. She gave a lecture to herders about the breeding techniques of "Wintering the sheep without losing it." Jia Zhenggui said that in order to protect the sheep in winter, the following six key points should be grasped: The grass is still rich in early winter, and the nutrition is better. In this season, it is necessary to use sunny weather, extend the grazing time, try to make the sheep Eat more food, more deposition of nutrients in the body, to lay the foundation for overwintering and crossing the spring. After entering the winter, some cold-tolerant plants can be used. After the ice is dissolved and dried, the sheep should be grazing immediately, and should be returned as late as possible at night, and no rest at noon to allow the sheep to eat and eat well. Grazing land should be selected on the slopes, creeks and other places where the terrain is low and the leewards are sunny. Rain and snow weather, low temperatures, try not to grazing, reduce the amount of sheep movement to reduce physical fitness. After rational grouping into the winter, the sheep should be grouped rationally according to the age, sex, physique, etc. of the sheep. The sheep whose body condition and strength are similar to each other should be grouped and reared in groups to facilitate the care of the weak lambs. In the winter, it is necessary to maintain good weather, grazing, and supplementation to manage the sheep. The rain and snow weather must be maintained throughout the day. For poor health, long-term empty and low performance sheep should be eliminated in time, fattening market. Note warm winter temperatures are low, the sheep consume more heat, warm work should be done. After winter, it is necessary to thoroughly inspect the sheep pen, such as the wall, especially when the wall in the north is to be repaired and made airproof. The ventilation holes around the sheep pen should be blocked so that the temperature in the circle can reach 10°C or more. Feeding in time to the winter, the weather is cold, the grass is rough, and the flock is facing many difficulties, especially the ewes in the gestation period, not only need their own nutrition, but also the fetus's growth and development also need nutrition, grazing alone is satisfied The only measure that can't meet the needs of nutrition is to feed some corn, wheat, radish, etc., supplements. Winter and spring should be reasonable with forage feed, divided into two times sooner or later. In the feeding of forage grass, it should be done first, after the mix with more varieties, less fed a lot of meals, add timely methods to ensure that the sheep have more adequate, palatable, more comprehensive feed forage. In terms of feeding amount, the amount of hay on the day should account for 6 to 8% of their own weight, and the amount of fresh grass should account for more than 20% of their own weight. In order to increase the amount of feed, regular spraying of brackish water on the forage can be done regularly to make the sheep whole. The belly is full of belly. In order to improve the fattening effect, 1 to 2% of the body weight can be supplemented with the fine material, and the formula is within the per kilogram of fine material: 64 pounds of corn, 15 pounds of fried beans or pancakes, 18 pounds of wheat bran, 1 pound of salt 1 kg of urea, 1 kg of 12 all-round additives, crushing and mixing, and quantitative feeding every night. In addition, the sheep must have sufficient clean drinking water. With this method, the monthly gain of mutton sheep can reach 12 pounds or more, and the maximum weight can be more than 20 pounds. Prepare enough forage grass Each adult goat has 400 kg of hay reserves in the winter. The hay reserve can store various crop straws, and feed herds with silage, micro-storage, dry powder wet mixing and other methods. At the same time, according to the number of sheep in the fall, 2 to 3 mu of high-quality, high-yielding clover, ryegrass and radish can be used to provide sheep for winter pasture, so as to ensure that the sheep are fed with sufficient high quality fresh grass in the withered period. In order to do a good job of preventing the epidemic while paying attention to keeping the sheep house clean and dry, we must first do a good job of the sheep epidemic prevention with sheep pox, sheep contagious pleuropneumonia, sheep epidemic disease, phlegm, and enterotoxemia. . Second, we must do a good job of the parasites in the flock. Insecticides can be administered by oral immunization with 12.5 to 25 mg of flummazol per kg of body weight or 10 mg/kg of levamisole per kilogram of body weight, and once every 7 days, the insect repellent effect can be achieved.
