What are the precautions for raising sheep in autumn and winter and how to avoid sheep getting sick?

Sheep raising is a relatively complete breeding project in China, during the sheep raising period, sheep in each season have different precautions, such as into the winter after its feeding methods also need to be moderately changed, due to the winter feed is not enough, there is not enough fresh forage, for the growth of sheep is also a certain adverse effect, and easy to cause sheep disease, reduce the social and economic rights and interests of sheep farmers, let's take a look.

Cold-proof and insulated

Cold-proof and thermal insulation is the primary precautions for breeding sheep in winter, due to the low temperature in winter, sheep are prone to see the wind fever and cold, so after entering the autumn and winter, it is necessary to check whether the sheep house is permeable, if there is a permeable area, it is necessary to carry out waterproof plugging in time to avoid cold air into the house, endangering the growth of sheep. Subsequently, it is also necessary to add sheep house bedding materials to improve the heat insulation capacity of the sheep house, and there are standard lamb insulation boxes to ensure that the lambs successfully survive the winter.

Ewes protect the fetus

Generally, the pregnancy period of ewes is in winter, so it is very critical to avoid the management of pregnant sheep in winter, to carry out group feeding for sheep, sleek and sophisticated feeding will inevitably have an impact on ewes, such as squeezing and trampling, etc., it is very bad for pregnant sheep to have a good baby, in addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the concentrate feed of pregnant sheep, can not be fed with mildew rotten and deteriorated concentrate feed, and at the same time also need to pay attention to group stocking, can not let pregnant sheep too fitness exercise, bounce, to avoid pregnant sheep miscarriage.

Timely feeding

The temperature in winter is very low, but because the total amount of green feed in winter is not enough, there may be a shortage of concentrate feed, and the ability of sheep in winter is particularly large, because it is necessary to complete their own thermal insulation work, so farmers should prepare sufficient concentrate feed, carry out supplementary feeding work for sheep after stocking, pay attention to the proportion of concentrated feeding and green feeding, and improve the nutritional absorption of sheep.

Drinking water management

Winter sheep drinking water is very critical, never let the sheep eat cold water or cold water, the water that is too low to eat will affect the digestive tract of the sheep, resulting in poor digestion of the sheep, reduce the software of the immune system, gastrointestinal diseases and even infectious diseases, etc., so when feeding the domestic water, we should pay attention to the temperature of the living water to prevent the sheep from stressing and affecting the growth.

Immunity and disease prevention

Because the temperature fluctuation in winter is very large, the temperature difference between day and night is also very fluctuating, the growth of sheep is very bad, which will lead to a variety of infectious diseases, so before entering the autumn and winter, we must strictly implement the immunity program process to carry out immunity work for each sheep, and it is also necessary to master the more common infectious diseases in winter to do a good job of immunization, such as pig foot-and-mouth disease, sheep triplet, etc., to improve the prevention of diseases, enhance the resistance of sheep, and ensure their healthy physical and mental growth.

The above is a detailed introduction to the precautions for raising sheep in winter and the methods to prevent sheep from getting sick, winter is an important season in the process of raising sheep, because this time is the pregnancy period of many ewes, whether the ewes can grow normally is important to ensure continuous and efficient breeding, so we must do a good job in winter management to prevent unnecessary harm.

When raising sheep in autumn and winter, you need to prepare feed in advance. And it also needs to keep the sheepfold warm. It is necessary to take some measures to prevent pests and diseases. Foods that boost immunity should be added to the feed.

First of all, we should control the temperature, and then we should also clean the farm regularly, inject vaccines in time, improve resistance and immunity, disinfect regularly, choose some more sophisticated feed, and be sure to pay attention to the amount of feed.

First of all, we should pay attention to the planting temperature, we should pay attention to the planting environment, we must inject the sheep in time, and we must pay attention to the health problems inside the environment, and we must pay attention to the feed matching.

Raising sheep in winter, keeping warm is a must. Air leaks in the sheep house can be sealed with plastic film or mud. In addition to this, the sheep should be given protein such as soybean cake, sesame cake and cottonseed cake with high energy content, and pregnant ewes should be herded into a warm separate pen to avoid miscarriage.

1. Keep warm.

When raising sheep in winter, we must take measures to keep warm and prevent cold. You can inspect the sheep house before winter, block the air leakage of the sheep house with soil, and then seal the windows with plastic film to prevent the sheep from losing weight. In addition, you should spread a royal layer of soft straw on the floor of the sheep house to keep the sheep warm.

2. Feeding management.

In winter, sheep consume a lot of fat to ward off the cold. To raise sheep in winter, it is necessary to provide sufficient feed for the sheep and feed them three times a day. In addition, protein and feed with high energy content, such as soybean cake, sesame cake, peanut cake, etc., should also be provided to improve the sheep's cold resistance.

3. Separate captivity.

The gestation period of the ewes is in winter. Ewes should be raised in winter, and the pregnancy should be checked regularly. If a ewe is found to be pregnant, it is necessary to rush to a separate pen immediately to prevent the ewe from aborting. And when feeding pregnant ewes, it is forbidden to feed moldy and spoiled feed.

4. Feeding method.

In winter, it is necessary to ensure sufficient drinking water, and the water temperature should be about 35 degrees, because if the sheep are given ice water for a long time, the sheep's digestive system will be abnormal and prone to intestinal diseases. Moreover, boilers and other heating equipment can be installed in the sheep house to increase the temperature in the sheep house.

1. Ventilation problems. The temperature in winter is very low, because many sheep farmers will choose to close the sheep house tightly in winter to keep warm. However, the ventilation problem of the sheep house is ignored, and if the sheep house is tightly closed, although it is warm, but the air circulation is poor.

As a result, the humidity in the sheep house increases, the content of harmful gases increases, etc., and the sheep are very prone to various respiratory diseases. Therefore, in winter, we should not only do a good job of keeping the sheep house warm, but also pay attention to ventilation and maintain a balanced relationship. Proper ventilation at noon when the weather is better and the temperature is higher during the day, and it is necessary to do a good job in the sanitation of the sheep house, clean up the manure in time, reduce the humidity of the sheep house, and reduce the content of harmful gases.

2. Hair loss. Shedding is also a common problem for sheep during the winter months. Most of the sheep shedding in winter is caused by nutrition and parasites.

For example, because of the lack of forage resources in winter, if the sheep are not fed well, they will not be able to eat enough. Insufficient intake of nutrients such as trace elements and vitamins leads to hair loss, so it is necessary to pay attention to the work of supplemental feeding and add an appropriate amount of premix to the feed. Parasites are mainly caused by scabies mites, and can be dewormed by subcutaneous injection of ivermectin or smearing.

It should be noted that it is necessary to provide hay, provide good water resources, and do not let the sheep eat the grass with frost to prevent the sheep from diarrhea, and secondly, to ensure the air circulation of the sheep house, but also to do a good job of keeping warm, but also to do a good job of hygiene and cleaning. My opinion is that in winter, we must ensure the comfort of the environment, and also pay attention to disinfection, but also pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases, so as to ensure the health of sheep.

Sheep need to be supplemented with more nutrients when they enter the winter, so that they can make it healthier and will not lose fat. When repairing the sheep house, it is required to face north and south, so that there can be more sunlight in winter, and at the same time, there should be a better ventilation opening, so as to ensure that the sheep house is clean and hygienic and has good ventilation.

At this stage, the first sales market of sheep is more ideal, the market demand is also very good, many people want to gradually raise sheep, but with the arrival of winter, the temperature drops sharply, and it is very easy to encounter all kinds of problems in the process of raising sheep.

1.Ventilation challenges.

Because the temperature in autumn and winter is slightly lower, many farmers will seal the sheep house for heating, but it is not clear that there will be a bad ventilation effect, so that the environmental humidity, harmful gases and harmful substances in the sheep house are significantly improved, and sheep are very easy to cause various respiratory diseases.

Therefore, in winter, in order to better achieve the balance of heat insulation and ventilation, the aluminum alloy doors and windows of the sheep house can be opened for ventilation in the afternoon when the weather is sunny in the daytime; At the same time, it is necessary to do a good job in the sanitation and disinfection of the sheep house, and immediately remove the environmental pollution of excrement, which is also conducive to reducing the environmental humidity of the sheep house and improving the air index.

2.Shedding conundrum.

Shedding is also common in winter, and there are generally two factors that cause sheep to lose hair, namely the nutrient content problem and the Schizocephalus problem. For example, lack of nutrition, dry feed in winter, if the sheep do not add to fill the feed, the sheep will not eat enough, nutrients, vitamin intake will also be insufficient, there will be hair loss, so we must pay special attention to fill the feed forage, at the same time must add feed to the feed, multi-dimensional electrolysis, etc.

As everyone knows, the problem of schizocephalus is mainly caused by scabies mites. At this stage, there are many ways to prevent and manipulate scabies mites in plague areas, such as intradermal injection of ivermectin, metamidine and other drugs.

3.Appetite conundrums.

Many villagers have experienced poor appetite of sheep in winter, which is mainly related to poor feed flavor and lack of domestic water. Because of the lack of emerald green juice and more feed in winter, the feed is relatively single, and even many sheep farmers only eat sheep grass, resulting in poor feed deliciousness and reduced sheep appetite.

Therefore, it is proposed that roughage and concentrate should be matched with each other, and salt should be put moderately to improve the freshness of feed. When sheep are fed a lot of pellets, they must have enough water to digest and absorb the feed, so it is recommended that sheep should be provided with sufficient warm boiled water after eating.

4.Growth and development problems.

Ultra-low temperatures in winter can also harm the growth and development of sheep, and are also closely related to temperature and feed. Generally speaking, when the ambient temperature is too low, the amount of heat needed to protect sheep from the cold will increase, and the nutritional value for growth and development will also decrease, which in turn will harm the weight gain of sheep. In addition, the lack of vitamin A in the feed is also one of the primary causes of stunted growth and development of sheep, as far as possible to improve the nutritional content of the feed, add more buds, beans, and at the same time add 1%-2% vegetable oil in the feed, which is beneficial to sheep from severe cold and lipid damage.

The above introduces four difficult problems and preventive measures for sheep raising in winter, and expects to have some enlightenment for sheep farmers. In simple terms, winter management methods focus on insulation, ventilation and feeding.

There will be many common problems, such as it is likely to cause the sheep to freeze to death, and it may also lead to nutritional deficiencies, or there will be some diseases, and there will be hair loss, and then you should also pay attention to the problem of ventilation.

The most common problem of sheep raising in winter is a shortage of feed. So in general, herders store grain in the fall. To ensure that the sheep can have enough food during the winter months.

Insufficient food, changes in temperature, lack of nutrition, ventilation problems, hair loss problems, growth and development problems.

The temperature in winter is low, and the sheep house in summer and autumn is not suitable for the growth of sheep now, so it is necessary to choose a leeward and sunny place for the construction of the sheep house, keep the house warm and dry, and hang a straw curtain at the exit of the sheepfold and the vent in the morning and evening. Heavy snow covers the mountains, and sheep have no way to go up the mountain to graze, so before entering the winter, the sheep's rations must be prepared. Second, the weather is relatively cold in winter, so the grazing time should be around noon, or a warmer time.

Third, the weather is relatively dry in winter, and most of the grass eaten by the sheep is relatively dry, so it is necessary to add more water to the sheep to drink.

<> vaccines. It is necessary to do a good job of vaccinating sheep regularly, the temperature in winter is low, the life of bacteria is also very active, and the incidence of sheep is high, and some farmers will reduce livestock after winter, because the winter measures are not done. Attention should be paid to captivity:

Feed forage, feed diversification, regular and quantitative, feeding generally twice a day. Pay attention to feed cleanliness. Do not throw the grass directly into the bar.

For all kinds of feed, it is necessary to pay attention to the feeding method and pre-feeding treatment.

In winter, if the ewe is pregnant, the ram and the ewe must be raised separately, and the distance between the two sheep houses should be close, maybe farther, so as to better protect the ewes. It is also necessary to provide more concentrate feed and light salt water to the ewes, and to adjust the temperature of the environment where they stay appropriately, so that the sheep can be better protected and grow better lambs. In winter, when sheep are raised and dry grass, we mostly feed crops with orange stalks, bean skins and green hay.

The lack of green and tender forage is basically all hay, and the demand for drinking water for sheep has increased. Sufficient and clean drinking water must be guaranteed and consumed freely at all times.

This is the first thing to do in winter enclosure sheep raising. The temperature in the winter sheep house in the cold areas of the north is very important, it not only affects the normal growth and development of meat sheep, but also seriously threatens the life safety of newborn lambs.

In winter, sheep raising generally needs to pay attention to the warmth of sheep, and must do a good job of keeping sheep warm, especially at night, do not let Yang freeze, and let the sheep have enough food.
