How to raise goats in free range, goat stocking technology?

This is a very systematic problem!I can't say it clearly in a few words!

The following is an excerpt from the article that I hope will help you!

How to herd and manage the flock.

If the local green fodder is abundant, you can use summer grazing to fatten goats, but pay attention to the following technical measures: 1. Do a good job of summer grazing. In summer, the weather is hot, and the sheep love to gather and cannot eat.

In terms of grazing methods, it is necessary to leave early in the morning and return early, go out late in the afternoon, and rest more at noon. The time of the morning grazing depends on the amount of dew. The dew is heavier, and the grazing time can be a little later.

Because there are many parasites on the dew grass, sheep are susceptible to parasitic diseases, and sheep are prone to bloating when they eat dew grass. Usually the day is just dawn, around 10 o'clock in the morning, before the day is about to heat the sheep to graze. Cattle are grazed at about 2:30 p.m. and harvested at 7 p.m.

From 11 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., we will return to the circle to rest. Put the pasture with poor grass quality on the sunny slope in the afternoon, and put the pasture with good grass quality on the shady slope in the afternoon, and choose a place with high dry ventilation or grazing in the shade of the forest on sunny and hot days to avoid sheep crowding and mosquito harassment. On rainy days, it is advisable to graze on flat ground.

Let the sheep eat 4-5 full every day. Around the evening, choose a pasture with lush grass, adopt a starry grazing method, repeatedly drive the sheep, and let the sheep eat the "return grass" several times. Salt and water should be given before grazing every day, so that the sheep can climb the mountain effectively.

Drink water 1-6 times a day. Drink clean, long-running water or well water. Do not drink dirty water and water from stagnant pits to prevent contracting parasitic diseases.

Do not let the sheep lie down in wet and muddy areas to prevent rheumatism. On rainy days, grazing should be carried downwind to prevent the face from being hit by the rain. Light rain should be grazed and heavy rain and heavy rain should be avoided as much as possible.

After the rain, the sheep are placed in a hillside and the "starry" grazing method is adopted, so that the wind can dry the wool as soon as possible to prevent illness. Do not graze on the steep slope when the lightning and thunder are thundering, so as to prevent the sheep from falling down the steep slope for fear of thunder and lightning.

The most important thing is to practice and summarize experience!Finally, I wish you success in breeding!

Just rush to the mountain, and if you can eat enough, you can grow meat.

The feeding time of sheep should not be less than 8h a day, and it should reach "four full". The sheep from the mountain to ruminate a full, a full cycle is about 2h, four full should be 8h.

1. In summer and autumn, due to the length of the day and the short night, the temperature is high, the water consumption of the sheep increases, and the amount of food needs increases, at this time the sheep should be grazed twice a day, and the sheep should be returned to the pen at noon to rest, drink water and properly replenish salt, the specific time is 7 in the morning and 11 o'clock in the morning, 4 8 o'clock in the afternoon.

2. In winter and spring, the days are short and the nights are long, the temperature is low, and the grass is aging, so that the grazing time must be extended, so that the sheep can take in more nutrients, and the sheep should be sold all day long, and the sheep should be collected at 9 10 o'clock in the morning, and the sheep will be collected at 5 or 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

3. Appropriate rotational grazing to relieve grassland pressure and reduce the occurrence of parasitic diseases.

1. Goats like to be dry and afraid of moisture. The sheepfold should be built in a dry place and kept clean in the pen. Goats especially love to be clean, eat grass, drink water, a slight smell is reluctant to eat and drink, sometimes, the first sheep eat grass exhalation, so that the grass is slightly damp, the latter sheep is unwilling to eat again.

Therefore, when feeding grass to sheep, it is necessary to add less frequently.

2. Different grazing methods should be adopted according to the growth of weeds in the four seasons and the changes in climate. The agricultural proverb says: "There is no coincidence in herding sheep, three full days a day", "sheep run once, one day in vain".

It means that grazing outside, to feed the sheep, and at the same time, to avoid the sheep being frightened and running wild, exerting physical strength, is the basic essentials of sheep herding. Throughout the year, the climate is different, the quality of the grass is not the same, when the sheep are herded, it must be adapted to the time, place and grass.

3. Generally drink daily.

Three or four times. Drink plenty of water when it's hot, and warm water or freshly drawn well water on cold days. The water quality should be clean, and no drinking sewage or stagnant water should be avoided to prevent the transmission of parasitic diseases.

It is necessary to feed the sheep some salt frequently, the benefit is to increase appetite and maintain the balance of metabolism in the sheep's body. Salt can be turned into brine for drinking, or mixed with feed, or placed in a clean slate or basin trough, and licked by sheep.

1. Pay attention to grazing methods. In the hot summer, sheep love to gather and can't eat enough. Grazing in the morning should be early and return early, generally when the dew is just dry.

From 11 o'clock at noon to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, let the sheep rest and eat grass in the pen, and use Zhuang Lekang for fertilizer, which has a good effect. In the afternoon, the grazing can be harvested at 7 p.m., and the grazing should be carried out in the shade on hot days to prevent heat stroke.

2. Pay attention to heat dissipation and dry sheep. In summer, sheep are easy to get sick with fire, so it is very important to dry sheep every day to ensure the health of the sheep. At noon, the sheep should not be in a hurry to enter the sheepfold, but let the sheep rest and drink directly in the shade of the trees.

After grazing at night, the sheep can be left to dry for a period of time before entering the enclosure. Every time the rotten kernel is out of grazing and harvesting, do not rush to drive the sheep, but let the sheep walk slowly to dry and dissipate heat.

3. Pay attention to weatherproofing. There are many thundershowers in summer, and once the sheep are attacked, they are very vulnerable to colds, colds, and fat loss, so summer grazing should try to avoid wind and rain. In rainy weather, you can bring a large cloth that can cover the sheep when grazing, so that the sheep can temporarily shelter from the rain.

In addition, do not graze on steep slopes when lightning and thunder are roaring, in case the sheep are frightened and injured.

4. Pay attention to salt and water. At the same time of feeding 1 2 times a day mixed feed (wheat bran, jade pai silver rice noodles, soybean cakes, etc. with rice bran and grass bran), grazing sheep should drink light salt water 4 6 times a day, and the amount of salt added can be calculated as 8 10 grams per sheep.

5. Pay attention to environmental hygiene. High temperature and humidity in summer, after the sheep return from grazing, the range of activities becomes smaller, which is easy to cause the dampness and poor environment of the enclosure, which often causes the occurrence of parasitic diseases, so it is necessary to pay attention to the environmental hygiene, ventilation and moisture-proof of the sheep house, keep the sheep house clean and dry, and do a good job in the prevention and control of parasites such as sheep scabies.
