Why do sheep need shearing?

Normal sheep's hair will always grow, and the longer it grows, the longer it grows. If the hair is too long and heavy, it will be difficult for the sheep to move. Therefore, in order to make the sheep move freely, it is necessary to shear the sheep. If you don't shear wool for a long time,

It will be chaotic, it will breed all kinds of bacteria, and sheep will get sick or even die; There is also that wool is too deep, which will accumulate heat and preserve the heat emitted by the sheep itself, which will hinder the breathing of the skin and lead to illness and even death of the sheep.

Matters needing attention

Do a good job in the reserve of forage and ensure the supply. At the same time, it is necessary to choose good forage preparation and storage methods to ensure forage quality.

When feeding grass, it is necessary to prepare simple grass racks and feeding troughs to reduce forage waste and improve feed utilization. Feed carrots, potatoes, beets and other succulent tubers and tubers. All impurities such as sludge should be washed away and chopped for feeding. No matter hay, silage or juicy feed, it should not be used to feed if it is moldy and deteriorated.

No matter what kind of feeding method is implemented, concentrate and roughage should be fed regularly. Grazing sheep should be supplemented twice in the morning and evening, that is, hay should be fed before grazing in the morning, concentrate should be fed at night, and then appropriate amount of straw should be fed.

Sheep grazing in summer and autumn is mainly fed with leguminous grasses, such as alfalfa, vetch seeds and sweet clover, which are chopped and fed.

Avoid feeding sheep with leftover soup, so as not to cause sheep to accumulate food.

No matter which feeding method is adopted, the sheep should be vaccinated regularly and treated with drugs to repel insects. Sheep infected with digestive tract parasitic diseases are particularly prone to diarrhea, emaciation and even death in spring. Therefore, sheep should be given scientific and reasonable feeding conditions in autumn and winter to ensure their safe overwintering and healthy growth in spring.

The winter lambs after weaning are just sprouting grass, so eating grass is enough. But after weaning in early spring, it didn't take long to start eating grass, so it entered the hay season. Therefore, we must pay attention to complementary food in winter. First of all, make sure that the raised sheep have enough green hay to eat. In addition to grazing, add a proper amount of mixed feed every day, ranging from 200 grams to 250 grams.

Fattening sheep house requires ventilation, dryness, warmth and hygiene, and is equipped with simple trough, straw rack and drinking water facilities. If conditions permit, the lamb fattening shed will be covered with plastic shed for warm shed feeding.

Shed rings must be cleaned and stuffed frequently. Those who are completely fattened at home should drink water twice a day, usually in the morning and afternoon 1 time. For grazing lambs, you must choose a good grassland nearby to graze, and don't swim too far, so as not to consume too much energy and affect the fattening effect.
