Goat breeding technology, goat breeding technology

Goats are suitable for growing in a high-lying environment, and can choose a dry and sunny place, convenient drainage and open terrain to build a pen when breeding, and provide green feed for goats once a day in the morning, noon and evening to maintain their growth, and can also be stocked for one hour a day to improve their immunity.

1. Build a enclosure

Goats are suitable for growing in a dry and warm environment, breeding goats choose a high-terrain, leeward and sunny site, convenient drainage and irrigation, and use wood to build a enclosure, in which a length of about two meters of trough and clean and hygienic drinking water equipment should be placed.

2. Provide food

Goats feed on pasture grass in the process of growth, and can provide green fodder for goats three times a day to maintain their growth, but in the case of insufficient grass sources in winter, they can provide goats with rice bran, wheat bran, broken corn and other cereal feed, so that they can survive the winter smoothly.

3. Regular stocking

Goats are mainly active in the environments such as hillsides and woodlands, if they are kept in captivity for a long time, their immunity will be reduced, so as to suffer from diseases, and they should be provided with one hour of activity time every day when breeding, and they should be driven out of the enclosure and put into the hillside or grass to forage for themselves.

Goat Breeding Techniques:

1. Build a sheep house

The sheep house should be selected in a place with high dry terrain and a sunny leeward place, leaving a feeding area of 10-20 square meters in front of the sheep house, and installing fixed feeding troughs and drinking utensils. There should be a drainage ditch outside the house, and a bamboo mat or cement floor should be laid inside the house.

2. Provide feed

Sheep are livestock that mainly eat coarse materials, supplemented by concentrates. It is best to "grow grass and raise sheep" for large-scale breeding, so that fresh grass can be eaten all year round. Sheep farmers should open up special land for green fodder and artificially plant alfalfa, ryegrass and other forage grasses.

In addition to feeding grass in summer and autumn, grass can also be dried into hay or silage for sheep after harvesting in autumn.

3. Choose excellent varieties

According to local conditions, excellent varieties with large body size, fast growth, high reproduction rate, strong adaptability, good meat quality and high efficiency are selected. The choice of the male parent is the South African Boer goat, followed by the horse-headed goat in China; The female can choose Saanen dairy goat, Hebei white goat, etc.

4. Mating

Regularly transfer breeding rams from other places, give breeding male and female sheep ear numbers and prepare breeding files, record in detail the number of breeding sheep, breeding time, breeding methods and lambing conditions, and control male and female sheep in a planned way to avoid breed degradation caused by sheep inbreeding.

5. Management

Large-scale sheep raising should be based on self-breeding and self-raising, and reasonable grouping. If grazing, it should be divided into areas for rotational grazing. And pay attention to the management of brushing, hoof trimming, etc.

6. The density is reasonable

Sheep are ruminants and spend a long time of the day feeding on forage and rumination. Therefore, there should be enough slots and activity space in the sheep pen, and each sheep should have a square meter of activity space.

7. Disease prevention

Group goats are prone to disease, mainly lamb dysentery, streptococcal disease, infectious pustules, nematodes, sheep lice, etc. It is necessary to implement the principle of "emphasizing prevention rather than cure," and it is also necessary to do a good job in the work of vaccination and comprehensive prevention and control of key diseases.
