How do sheep survive the winter, and how to raise sheep safely in winter

Sheep are guided by their owners to graze in places where there is no snow, and if the snow is heavy, they stay in the enclosure and eat the stored hay for the winter.

Sheep are afraid of cold, although sheep can resist the low temperature of minus 20 degrees, but long-term in the low temperature environment, there will be frost damage, affect the growth, so in the process of winter breeding, the doors and windows in the sheepfold should be sealed tightly, and the sheepfold should be spread with straw, but also to provide corn flour, bran, rice bran and other concentrate feed for the sheep, so that it can survive the winter smoothly.

1. Afraid of cold

Sheep are afraid of cold, although the cold-resistant temperature of sheep is about minus 20 degrees, but for a long time in the low temperature environment growth, sheep will appear frost damage, cold, in serious cases will die, so in winter when breeding sheep, it needs to be moved into the indoor enclosure.

2. Warm treatment

When breeding in winter, the sheep should be kept warm. First of all, the vents and windows in the sheepfold are sealed with transparent plastic film, wooden strips, iron nails and other materials, and cotton curtains are hung at the entrance of the passage for the sheep to keep the cold wind out.

3. Provide feed

In winter, there is less fresh pasture, so it is necessary to provide the sheep with corn flour, rice bran, wheat bran and other cereal feeds to provide them with enough energy to withstand the cold, and also provide the sheep with clean warm water, and the frequency of feeding should be controlled to twice a day.

4. Regular grazing

In the sunny weather in winter, the sheep should be driven out of the pen and pulled into the hillside and grassland, so that they can move freely to forage, increase the activity of the flock, and improve their immunity. Moreover, when the amount of activity increases, the amount of food eaten by the sheep will also increase, thereby increasing the meat production rate.

In winter, the grass is yellow and the nutrition is low, if the feeding management in the process of sheep raising is not strengthened, the meat sheep and sheep are prone to emaciation and weightlessness. In order to ensure the safety of the sheep in winter, it is necessary to do a good job of grazing when raising sheep in late autumn, so that the meat sheep flock can gain weight and regain strength, and lay a good foundation for a safe winter. To this end, the following measures should be taken:

Prepare enough grass, good winter fat In order to ensure that the meat sheep do not lose fat, it is necessary to prepare enough forage for the meat sheep and sheep to survive the winter. According to the number of heads of meat sheep and the number of sheep needed, all kinds of grass, hay, leaves, vegetable gangs, vegetable leaves and crop straw should be collected to raise sheep. It can be ammoniad, alkalized and heap feeding, and can also be made into silage and fermented feeding.

Among the concentrates, corn, barley, bran, oil cake and distiller's grains are all good feeds for sheep, but the feed should be fed together to achieve diversification.

Live in a warm circle, prevent colds, as the saying goes, "the circle warms three points of fat".Before winter, the sheepfold must be repaired well to prevent the invasion of thieves, hang straw curtains at night, and the ground should be dry and not frozen. The most effective way to reduce the loss of calories in meat sheep is to repair the warm house to avoid sheep catching colds and preventing colds.

Sheep are mostly pregnant, and should be properly exercised in combination with grazing, and forage should be saved. For winter sheep grazing, they should choose to graze in a low-lying and warm ditch with leeward and sunny direction to prevent strong winds. Sheep should go out late and return early in winter, and they should go out of the wind and return to the wind to graze.

Sheep are ruminants with strong digestive ability, and can be fed with night grass and concentrate and an appropriate amount of mineral feed to raise sheep to meet the dual needs of breeding sheep, pregnant sheep and fetal nutrition.

Salt appetizing, water full of some people say that winter sheep are difficult to raise, and salt water is fat-loving. It means that although sheep are difficult to raise, as long as salt is added to water to drink sheep, sheep will eat more grass, love to drink water, and are easy to fat. If the water is insufficient, the sheep lacks water, the sheep's louvers (valve stomach) and nose will be dry, do not like to eat grass, and are prone to dry shutters.

But sheep should not drink too cold water, especially pregnant sheep, it is best to drink warm water.

Keep it safe, prevent the lamb from slippery roads in the cold weather in winter, and pay attention to prevent slipping when grazing. Pregnant sheep entering and exiting the pen door should prevent crowding, collision and overhead frame to avoid miscarriage. In order to ensure the safety and smooth delivery of pregnant sheep.

Sheep are afraid of the cold. Although sheep can withstand low temperatures of minus 20 degrees, if they are in a low temperature environment for a long time, they will suffer from frost damage and affect their growth. Therefore, in the process of winter feeding, the doors and windows in the sheepfold should be closed tightly, and straw should be laid in the sheepfold to provide the sheep with corn flour, bran, rice bran and other concentrated feed, so that they can survive the winter smoothly.

Sheep are not afraid of the cold.

1. Afraid of coldSheep are afraid of the cold. Although sheep have a hardy cold temperature of about minus 20 degrees, if they grow at low temperatures for a long time, they will suffer from frost damage and cold, and even die in severe cases. Therefore, when raising sheep in winter, you need to move the sheep into an indoor pen.

2. Warm treatment

In winter, sheep should be kept warm. First of all, the vents and windows in the sheepfold are sealed with transparent plastic film, wooden strips, nails and other materials, and the entrance of the sheep is hung with cotton curtains to keep the cold wind out.

3. Provide feed

There is very little fresh grass in winter. At this time, it is necessary to provide corn flour, rice bran, wheat bran and other grain feed to the sheep, provide enough energy for the sheep to resist the cold, provide clean warm water for the sheep, and control the feeding frequency twice a day.

4. Regular grazing

In winter, when the weather is fine, the sheep should be driven out of the pen and pulled to the hillside and grass, so that they can move freely to forage for food, increase the activity of the sheep selling pants, and improve immunity. And, when activity increases, the food intake of sheep Americans also increases, resulting in higher meat yields.

How goats survive the winter safely.

In winter, in addition to sheep need a certain amount of feed nutrition, pregnant sheep and frail sheep need a higher level of feed nutrition. Therefore, winter is the key to sheep raising. Prepare plenty of forage.

In the cold winter and early spring, adult sheep are stored according to 200 kg of hay of 300 kg each, which can be stored according to the actual local situation of various crop straws, and the method of silage, micro storage, dry powder and wet mix is used to feed the sheep. In winter, dry grass, peanut vines, sweet potato vines, and green bean stalks are the best forages for sheep. Epidemic prevention and deworming.

Do a good job in the epidemic prevention work of sheep pox, sheep infectious pleuropneumonia, sheep rapid disease, cataplexy, and enterotoxemia. Deworming can be done orally with propimidazole mg 25 mg per kilogram of body weight or levamisole 10 mg intramuscular per kilogram of body weight, and then taken once every 7 days to achieve the ideal anthelmintic effect. Rational grazing.

In early winter, take advantage of the sunny and warm weather to extend the grazing time and try to let the sheep eat as much as possible to lay the foundation for wintering. After entering the harsh winter, some cold-tolerant plants can be used to graze sheep in windless and sunny weather after the frost is dissolved and dried. No grazing in rainy and snowy weather.

Strength and weakness grouping. After winter, according to the age, gender, physique and other conditions of the sheep are reasonably divided into groups, and the sheep with similar body conditions are formed into a group and fed in groups, so as to take care of the weak sheep. In winter, we insist on the combination of grazing and supplementary feeding, and feed the whole group in rainy and snowy weather.

For poor physique, long-term emptiness and low production performance of sheep slaughter, feed increased, fattening market. Polywarming is accommodating.

In winter, the sheep house should be inspected every day, and the northwest wall should be set up with straw, firewood and plastic sheeting to prevent the wind and reflect the wall to ensure that the temperature of the sheep house reaches more than 10.

Scientific feeding. In winter and spring, forage should be reasonably matched, and it should be replenished twice in the morning and evening.

In the forage feeding, we should take the method of first drying, then greening, multi-breed collocation, less feeding and more meals, and timely addition to ensure that the sheep have more sufficient, palatability and comprehensive nutrition. The daily intake of hay should account for 6% to 8% of one's body weight, and the amount of green grass should account for more than 20% of one's body weight. In order to increase feed intake, light salt water can be sprayed regularly on the forage grass to keep the flock full of bellies throughout the day.

Winter is cold, the night is long, the grass withers, the nutritional value of forage is low, the sheep body heat loss is more, and at this time it is the pregnancy period of most ewes, the breeding sheep enter the first wintering period, the sheep have more demand for nutrients, once the feeding management is improper, it will lose fat and even cause the sheep to die. Therefore, the following links must be grasped in production. The repair of the sheep house requires sitting in the north and facing south, full sunshine, air circulation, dry and hygienic, good warmth performance, and blocking the wind tunnel before the "beginning of winter" to ensure that the roof does not leak rain, is impermeable on all sides, and the ground is not wet.

For dilapidated, leaky, and ventilated sheep houses, they should be repaired in a timely manner; In the cold winter, it is necessary to hang straw curtains or cotton curtains at the exit and vents of the sheep house to prevent the invasion of "thief wind". Reasonable grazing in winter in addition to the snowstorm weather, should adhere to daily grazing, especially in early winter, dry leaves are still relatively rich, cold-tolerant plants also grow, at this time to graze, late out and early return, let the sheep try to eat more grass. When grazing, it is necessary to choose a pasture land that is sheltered from the wind and the sun, the terrain is high, and the water source is better, and the regret is to put the shady slope first and then the sunny slope, first put the bottom of the ditch and then put the ditch slope, first low grass and then high grass, so that the sheep walk less and eat more grass; insist on going out against the wind and returning to the wind, so that the sheep can gradually adapt to the cold; Ewes are placed near pastures, reared sheep and lambs are placed in distant pastures, and thin sheep are placed in separate groups in grassy pastures; and put a barrage on the guard of the sheep, so that the sheep may not eat the grass with mud, or the grass with frost, or the grass that rains.

Timely feeding in the dry grass period of winter and spring, it is difficult for sheep to meet their nutritional needs by grazing alone, so it is advisable to implement half-day grazing and half-day supplemental feeding. In this way, it can not only reduce physical exertion, but also help to preserve and increase fat. In winter and spring, hay is fed, mostly peanut seedlings, soybean straw, wild grass, etc., and an adult sheep is fed kilograms every day.

If the number of sheep is small, the grass can be placed in the basket and then hoisted up to feed; When the number of sheep is large, you can make your own straw rack to feed the grass, and you can also bundle the grass and hang it at a height that the sheep can eat. Supplemental feeding concentrate, can be used cereal, corn flour, rice bran, soybean cake and other mixed concentrate, in the evening once fed, each adult sheep per day to feed kilograms. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the addition of salt, vitamins and trace elements; For lambs, breeding rams and pregnant ewes, add some green and juicy feed such as carrots.

To ensure that the forage is dry in winter, it is necessary to ensure that the drinking water is sufficient. Generally, you can drink a brief round banquet at 2 o'clock in the afternoon every day, and drink it again after returning to the pasture in the evening, the water temperature is about 25, and do not give the sheep cold water or ice slag water. Pay attention to the fetus into the winter, most of the ewes are pregnant, pay attention to the fetal work.

Don't be overly tired when grazing, walk slowly, don't jump over ditches, don't climb steep slopes, don't walk on ice paths, and don't frighten the sheep; When returning to the pasture, it is necessary to control the sheep and avoid chasing after them; The entrance and exit doors should be stable to prevent miscarriage caused by crowding. **: China Breeding Network.
