How to raise sheep in rural areas?

1, build a house. The sheephouse should be located in a high and dry place, facing the sun and leeward. There should be a feeding area of 10-20 square meters in front of the sheephouse, and a fixed feeding trough and drinking utensils should be installed. There should be drains outside the house, and bamboo mats or concrete floors should be laid inside. Plastic film should be used to tie the shed in cold areas in winter, which can increase the temperature of the sheephouse by 4-7℃, which is beneficial to the growth of sheep. Different types of disinfectants, such as 20% lime milk and 10% bleaching powder solution, should be used in turn to disinfect sheephouses, sports grounds, feeding troughs, drinking utensils, feeding tools and pens regularly.

2. Break up. Sheep fed in houses should be raised separately according to the factory production mode, and special delivery rooms, lamb houses, mutton sheep houses, ewe houses, ram houses and sick sheep isolation houses should be set up, and corresponding feeding management measures should be taken.

3. Choose seeds. Select excellent varieties with large size, fast growth, high reproduction rate, strong adaptability, good meat quality and high efficiency according to local conditions. South African Boer goat is the first choice of male parents, followed by China Matou goat. The female parent can be Sanyan goat, Hebei white goat, etc.

4. mating. Regularly exchange breeding sheep from other places, wear ear numbers for breeding sheep and ewes, compile breeding files, record the number, breeding time, breeding mode and lambing situation of breeding sheep in detail, and control the hybridization of male and female sheep in a planned way to avoid breed degradation caused by inbreeding of sheep.

5. scale. The scale of raising sheep should be appropriate, which can be determined according to the existing cultivated land, forage, labor force and investment. It is generally advisable to raise about 20 fertile ewes, with an annual income of 10,000 yuan. As a family, you may not be able to get so much money at once. At the beginning of breeding, don't covet the scale, but constantly explore and summarize the breeding experience and snowball.

6.density. Sheep are ruminants and spend a long time eating and ruminating in a day. Therefore, there should be enough slots and activity space in the sheepfold, and each sheep should have 1. 5—2。 5 square meters of activity space.
