What are the profits and costs of raising sheep? How to raise sheep?
Choose a good breed to feed. A sheep needs forage 1.5 yuan a day, and 0.5kg a day. Six dollars can be sold, and after deducting forage, utilities and epidemic prevention fees, there are still four dollars left. In other words, the net profit of a sheep is not lower than that of 4 yuan. \x0d\\x0d\ In the long-term junior high school production, we have been exploring and summing up experience in many aspects, such as feeding management, seed selection and matching, feeding and fattening, and disease prevention, and summarized it as "management, selection, matching, education and prevention". \ x0d \ x0d \ management is a scientific feeding management method. Most sheep farmers with good economic benefits adopt the method of raising sheep in houses, and reasonably cooperate with forage feed to raise sheep in houses. This method can save herders and increase their technical strength. Adopt the method of combining grazing with supplementary feeding. In addition to grazing in the grass period, first, a large number of high-quality pastures such as alfalfa are planted; Second, a large number of reserves and silage straw; The third is to strengthen the supplementary feeding of lambs and Hotan sheep. Adopt flexible grazing methods. Firstly, the sheep were divided into small groups according to age, sex and size, and the number of each group ranged from 50 to 100. Fattening sheep and breeding sheep graze in groups during the green grass period, and breeding sheep and breeding sheep graze in situ. Secondly, according to the feeding characteristics of sheep, the method of circular grazing by sections is adopted, that is, after grazing every day, the sheep are allowed to graze in the original grazing place. When the sheep are half full, they will graze on the fresh grass, and then let them go when they see that they don't eat much, so that they can eat enough. This method of "the gentleman ripens later, tightens first, loosens later, and supplements three times a day", which combines two seasons' slowness (grazing is slow in spring and autumn), three persistence (grazing with the group, going out early and coming back late, drinking twice), three stability (grazing, drinking water, and getting in and out smoothly) and four prevention (preventing running, nest, harm and disease). \x0d\\x0d\ Select to optimize the population structure. Through the survival of the fittest, the old sheep and sheep with poor production performance will be eliminated in time year by year, selected for many times, cultivated by classification and subsection, and the principle of gradual progress will be adhered to, so as to continuously optimize the flock structure and continuously improve the economic benefits. Because each household has different varieties, different quantities and different development, the selection method is different and the selection ratio is different. But we should pay attention to the three stages of birth, weaning and one year old, as well as the reproductive performance and the growth rate of offspring. The selection ratio of ewe is: elimination rate 15%-20%, and retention rate is 35%-40%. Rams introduce Suffolk, Dorset, Boer goat, small-tailed Han sheep and other fine breeds according to the situation, and generally do not breed by themselves. After continuous selection, the age structure of young sheep (0.5- 1.5 years old) accounts for 15%-20%, and mature sheep (1.5 -4 years old (65-75%, 5.5 years old accounts for10%-. The proportion of ewes reaches 65%-70%, of which 45%-50% can be bred with ewes. The greater the proportion of ewes, the higher the slaughter rate and the better the economic benefits. \ x0d \ x0d \ matching means matching and breeding methods. It is through the reasonable choice of male and female sheep spouses and the scientific breeding method to achieve the purpose of optimal matching and complete matching. It can not only make full and effective use of excellent rams, but also artificially control the lambing season and breeding frequency. Estrus control techniques such as estrus synchronization can also be used to make ewes concentrate on estrus at a suitable time and breed in a short time, so that the conception rate and breeding rate are higher, so that ewes of the right age can be fully bred and the lamb quality is improved. \x0d\\x0d\ Education is a training measure for sheep. In the late pregnancy and early lactation, ewes should be fed reasonably, and at the same time, they should do a good job in drinking water, supplementing salt and sanitation in sheds. According to the forage, season and ewe situation in different areas, different concentrate compositions are corn 5 1%, bran 8%, cake 23%, alfalfa meal 10%, bone meal 3%, salt 2% and calcium hydrogen phosphate 3%. The supplement amount is generally 0.5 kg -0.7 kg per ewe every day, twice in the morning and evening, and the amount is appropriate. Carefully observe the ewe's condition before giving birth, and assign a special person to be on duty at night. After the lamb is born, strengthen the cultivation to ensure the lactation of many lambs. Lambs were supplemented with high-quality forage and compound feed from 10 to 14 days after birth. The amount of supplementary feeding depends on the place and sheep. The supplement amount of most lamb compound feed is 50g-70g for two weeks, 1 month and 65438+200g- 150g for two months. Concentrated feed consists of 40% corn, 25% cake, 25% alfalfa, 8% bran, 2% bone meal and proper amount of salt. \x0d\\x0d\ Prevention means preventing diseases. In addition to routine vaccination, you need to take a medicated bath after shearing, and use insect repellent every spring and autumn. At the same time, plant ash and other disinfectants are sprayed at the entrance of the fence in the activity place to isolate the abnormal or sick sheep, so as to reduce the morbidity and mortality.
