Without going into details here, we can see that mutton has high nutritional value, which is in line with the development direction of high protein and low fat in today's world food structure; Mutton sheep is an efficient food-saving livestock, and its development conforms to the national conditions and public opinion; Breeding mutton sheep has the advantages of less investment and quick effect, which can not only effectively develop and utilize the resources of grass hill and slope, but also make full use of the high-quality pasture planted in leisure land and returning farmland.
Traditional goat breeding is mainly based on grazing, and in some places, the ecological balance is destroyed because of overgrazing. At present, sheep house feeding has become a major feeding method chosen by sheep farmers.
1. 1 The selection of sheep farms and the construction of sheep houses need to be planned according to the existing number of goats, development scale, capital situation and mechanization degree. At the same time, we should give full consideration to local conditions and reduce production costs.
Sheep houses should be built in places with high terrain, good drainage, ventilation and dryness, abundant sunshine and sufficient water. 1.2 A building sheephouse is generally 4-6 meters wide and 2-3 meters high, and its length depends on the number of sheep raised. The sheephouse area is calculated according to each adult sheep 1.2~ 1.5 m2. A playground was built next to the sheepfold, and trees were planted around it for shade.
The floor slab is nailed with battens, bamboo sticks or thin sticks to form a bed surface with a spacing of 1~ 1.5 cm, so that feces and urine can fall to the ground. Sheep beds can be separated by columns or made into movable boards.
1.3 The shed is required to be divided into a ram pen, a ewe pen, a lamb pen and a fattening sheep pen with movable wooden fences, and grass racks, feeding troughs and drinking water equipment are arranged in the pen. A straw frame was built with wooden strips against the wall in the shed. The height of straw rack is about 1 m, and the width of feed inlet is15cm.
The sink can be made of cement or wood. Generally, the upper width is 25 cm, the lower width is 22 cm and the depth is 10~ 15 cm. The bottom of the tank is arc-shaped, and it is best to leave an outward water outlet. Arrange drinking water equipment along the wall. You can choose to install automatic drinking fountains or wash basins every 3 meters.
1.4 The medicated bath should be built near the pen house, and the medicated bath should be a long and narrow pool not less than 1 m, with a bottom width of 30-60 cm and an upper mouth width of 60-80 cm; The entrance end is inclined to facilitate the sheep to enter the pool; A step with a certain slope is built at the outlet end, so that the liquid medicine on the sheep can flow back to the pool. 2. 1 Preparation before sheep introduction Before sheep introduction, according to local agricultural production, forage, geographical location and other factors, the characteristics of several sheep breeds and their adaptability to the local area were investigated in a targeted manner, so as to determine which breed to introduce, goat or sheep.
For example, in the south of the Yellow River, it is suitable for goat breeding, in the cold north, it is more suitable for sheep breeding, and in mountainous and hilly areas, it is also more suitable for goat breeding. We should reasonably determine the number of imported sheep according to our own financial resources, so as to have both money to buy and money to raise sheep.
Before you prepare to buy sheep, you should prepare enough forage, repair the sheephouse and equip it with necessary facilities. 2.2 Choosing the time for herding sheep The most suitable season for herding sheep is spring and autumn, because the temperature is neither too high nor too low, and the weather is neither too cold nor too hot.
Introduction in summer is the most taboo, and the weather is hot and rainy from June to September, which is not conducive to long-distance transportation. If the distance between sheep and goats is less than one day, the season of sheep can be ignored.
Most of the sheep introduced to the local area are concentrated in the hands of farmers, so it is necessary to avoid the summer harvest and busy farming season in Sanqiu as much as possible. At this time, most farmers have no choice but to sell sheep, and it is difficult to introduce good sheep. 2.3 Selecting sheep is the key to the smooth development of raising sheep. If farmers want to take their sheep to the sheep farm, they must first know whether the sheep farm has the production license for breeding livestock and poultry, the certificate of breeding sheep and the registration of pedigree ear number issued by the animal husbandry department, and whether the three are complete.
If it is purchased from farmers in the main producing areas, you should take the initiative to contact the local animal husbandry department, or you can entrust the animal husbandry department to handle it and let them control the quality. When selecting, it depends on whether its appearance characteristics conform to the characteristics of this variety. Ram should be 1~2 years old, and it should be elastic to touch the testicles with your hands. Most people who feel pain in their hands are orchitis, moderately fat, but not too fat or too thin.
Most ewes are about one year old. Most of these sheep are in the breeding period. The ewes should be strong, large and even, and the number of rams should be determined according to the size of the group. The general ratio is 1: 15~20. The smaller the population, the more rams can be properly increased to prevent inbreeding. 3. 1 Reducing feeding costs Sheep are herbivores, and compared with food-eating animals such as pigs and poultry, their growth and development speed are slow and their production efficiency is low, so reducing feeding costs is the key to the success of large-scale sheep farm management.
Where the price of high-quality peanut seedlings, sweet potato seedlings and bean seedlings is above 0. 1.5 yuan/kg, the technology of planting grass to raise sheep or silage should be adopted to ensure the reduction of forage cost. For example, planting high-quality pasture can better solve the problems of insufficient high-quality straw for raising sheep in agricultural areas, and the high price of high-quality straw restricts the development of large-scale sheep raising.
In addition, advanced straw treatment technologies such as micro-storage, ammoniation and alkalization are also key technologies to improve the utilization rate of low-quality straw and reduce feed cost. For example, using fermented straw powder and bran and adding some corn grits for feeding, there is no need to add bean cake feed, which is more significant for reducing feed cost.
3.2 To choose excellent varieties, the male parent should choose varieties with large size, fast growth, wide recipes, good meat production performance and quality, high slaughter rate and strong adaptability. Saneng dairy goat is often used as the male parent of 1 and Boer goat as the second male parent in production.
3.3 Determine the hybridization mode There are three ways of goat hybridization: binary hybridization, ternary hybridization and progressive hybridization. If local goats are raised by large-scale farms or large-scale breeders, Saanen goats or Boer rams can be introduced for binary hybridization, and all hybrid rams are fattened. Hybrid ewes can be fattened or bred before crossing with Boer goats.
Among them, the hybridization between Saben binary ewe and Boer ram is called ternary hybridization, and all the hybrid offspring are fattened; The cross between Bourbon dual ewe and Boer ram is called progressive dual cross, while Bosaben ternary cross ewe and Boer ram cross into progressive ternary cross. From the perspective of hybridization effect, ternary hybridization is better than binary hybridization, and progressive ternary hybridization is better than ternary hybridization.
3.4 Adjusting Lambing Season to Improve Lamb Survival Rate Some countries, such as the United States, attach great importance to breeding season and mass production in mutton production. Their experience is intensive lambing in March and listing in July ~ 165438+ 10. China's Hebei, Guizhou and other provinces have also done some research in this field and summarized some useful experiences.
According to the specific situation of our country, the simultaneous breeding technology can be adopted to adjust the breeding season to September ~ 10 and give birth to lambs in February ~ March of the following year, which can effectively reduce lamb death.
2. Information about sheep
Hello! Sheep sheep is a common animal.
Belongs to mammals, Artiodactyla, cattle and sheep subfamily. Full figure and thick hair.
Short head. Males have huge spiral horns, females have no horns or only small horns.
Coat color is white. Now sheep are raised all over the world.
Timid. Autumn and winter * * *.
The pregnant period of female animals is 145- 152 days. 65438+ 0-5 nests per nest.
The service life is10-15 years. Sheep are thirsty and can provide meat, fur and other products for human beings.
Of course, the most famous one is Dolly, a cloned sheep. Cattle and sheep belong to herbivorous ruminant livestock.
Wool is the main raw material of wool spinning industry, meat (especially mutton) can be eaten, and leather is the industrial raw material. The domestication of wild sheep into domestic animals began in the Neolithic Age 8000 years ago, originated in Central Asia, and then gradually spread to all parts of the world.
Sheep have plump bodies, thick fur and short heads. Rams have large spiral horns, while ewes have no horns or small horns.
There are lacrimal fossa on the skull and toe glands on all four hooves. The tip of the mouth and thin and elastic lips can feed on short grass.
Imitation, sociability, the habit of following the first sheep (old sheep). When grazing, I like to feed in the high places, and I like to sleep in the high places of the pasture at night.
Coat can keep warm and insulate heat, so it can resist cold and heat, but it is afraid of rain or cooling after cutting. Generally speaking, I prefer dryness to wetness.
Sexual cowardice, lack of self-defense, vulnerable to animals. It is estimated that there are at least 500 varieties.
According to the tail type, it can be divided into short-tailed sheep, slender-tailed sheep, big-tailed sheep and fat-rumped sheep. According to the production purpose, it is divided into fine wool sheep, semi-fine wool sheep, coarse wool sheep, fur sheep, lamb sheep and milk sheep.
Sheep are seasonal breeding animals. It usually breeds in September ~ 1 1, and the gestation period is 15 1~ 152 days. Most of them are single lambs, but twin lambs and triple lambs are also common, and the breeding period is 6-8 years old.
Sheep are good at using crude fiber, so coarse feed can account for 90%~95% of feed. Grazing can be done all year round, and the forage grass turns yellow in winter and early spring, which is also the lambing and lactation season and needs supplementary feeding.
After weaning, ewes were put into breeding group or fattening group respectively. .
Do you know this knowledge about sheep?
This year is the year of B, the year of the sheep.
There are 9 cold knowledge about sheep. Let's see if you know it. 1. Sheep belong to Bovine, but it's ok. Downward, there are sheep subfamily and sheep family.
2. Goats and sheep are similar to humans and chimpanzees in classification. We eat two kinds of sheep, goats and sheep. Goats and sheep belong to two genera, but both belong to the sheep family.
For example, the relationship between goats and sheep is similar to that between humans and chimpanzees. PS: Family is a taxon under subgenus, families, genera and species of phylum.
3, the sheep's pupil is square, it is sauce purple, super evil! Besides goats and sheep, octopus's pupils are also like this. Then why is it like this? Some researchers believe that this rectangular pupil can take into account the periphery and middle of the field of vision and help these animals find predators.
Goats may produce more milk than sheep, because there are a large proportion of twins in goats. Incidentally, goat's milk, only from the commercial point of view, is difficult to compete with milk-goats are not as good as cattle in milk yield and protein content, and sheep are small in size, which greatly increases the labor costs such as milking.
By the way, one advantage of goat milk is that it can be frozen, and frozen milk will become very strange. 5. If the free-range goats are not properly managed, it is easy to destroy vegetation for several reasons: 1) The upper lip of goats can move, so that they can eat grass roots close to the ground and eat more cleanly than cows; 2) Goats have a strong ability to eat leaves, much stronger than sheep, and are not afraid of thorny shrubs; 3) Goats can stand up on their hind legs, eat tall leaves and even climb trees; 4) Goats' hooves are very sharp, so they can dig up the soil and eat the roots and underground stems below; 5) How far can goats run when they are free-range, with an average of 9 goats.
7 km, while the sheep is only 6. 1 km, and the cattle is 5.3 km. 6. Compared with alert goats, sheep are stupid and instinctively imitate the actions of the sheep around them-so the black sheep in Chinese is black, and the sheep in English has a modern word "sheep" to describe those ignorant people who only follow the herd.
Shepherds and shepherds are indispensable when herding sheep-they can protect the sheep from external threats and prevent them from doing stupid things themselves. 7. Sheep are docile and have a particularly good reputation in the West. Because sheep are docile, Christianity uses the metaphor of "Lamb of God"-a lamb is a lamb.
* * * religion and common sheep sacrifice. 8. In contrast, goats have a bad reputation in the West ... Domestication also makes goats have a stronger desire to mate-so that goats have become metaphors in European culture.
In addition, the pagan goat gods in the classical era, as well as the biblical texts that compare sheep with saviors and goats with degenerates, may work together to make goats a demon image in the Middle Ages. Strictly speaking, the smell of mutton is not a substance secreted by sheep. The smell of mutton is mainly fatty acids with eight to ten carbon atoms.
Sheep are ruminants, and the rumen contains a large number of microorganisms. The digestion of rumen fat is actually the digestion of microorganisms. Lipids release fatty acids and glycerol under the action of rumen microorganisms. Most unsaturated fatty acids are converted into saturated fatty acids by microorganisms, while glycerol is converted into volatile fatty acids by microorganisms.
These decomposers are absorbed to synthesize adipose tissue, and the short-chain fatty acids in them have a great relationship with the formation of odor. 10 by the way, this lovely black-faced and black-footed sheep is called Valais (black nose).
It is a kind of mutton sheep cultivated in the Swiss valley. But after all, eating meat or shearing wool doesn't matter, because-their wives are so cute.
