What grass do sheep like to eat? What are the reasons for eating less?

Sheep prefer to eat grass, and can be fed alfalfa, ryegrass, grain amaranth, yellow grass, Mexican corn grass and so on. When raising sheep, we should pay attention to the sunny weather when grazing and abide by the principle of leaving early and returning late. The ground of the sheepfold must be kept dry, sanitary and ventilated, and the sheepfold and playground should be cleaned frequently and disinfected regularly.

1. What grass do sheep like to eat?

1, sheep prefer to eat pasture. There are many grasses suitable for feeding sheep, such as alfalfa, ryegrass, grain amaranth, yellow grass, Mexican corn grass and so on. These are all good sheep feed. The feed for sheep is mainly alfalfa and straw, but it should be noted that alfalfa should not be given to sheep in large quantities when it germinates more than one foot in early spring.

2. Pay attention to raising sheep. Try to choose cooler weather when grazing. Go out early in the morning and come back late in the afternoon. When the dew is heavy, the grazing time must be later. Don't let sheep eat naked aquatic plants, which is easy to cause flatulence. In summer, we should do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling of sheep, and choose tree-lined grazing to prevent heatstroke. At the same time, shear and strengthen ventilation measures are taken to facilitate the heat dissipation of sheep body surface.

3. The ground of the sheepfold must be kept dry, sanitary and ventilated. Sheep pens and sports fields should be cleaned frequently and disinfected regularly. When the weather is hot in summer, we should put fresh and clean water in the drinking basin and let the sheep drink freely. We can add 0.2 g of salt to each kilogram of sheep's weight, which can maintain the acid-base balance in sheep. In summer, ewes usually give birth to lambs. At this time, abamectin can be used to drive away nematodes in vivo and parasites such as lice, mites, ticks and fly maggots in vitro.

Second, what is the reason why sheep eat less?

1, sheep will choose feed, for example, some concentrated feed tastes good, and some coarse feed tastes bad, so pay attention to the order when feeding. If you feed them coarse grains first, you can add some concentrate after the sheep are basically full, so the sheep can still eat. However, if the sheep are fed with concentrated feed first, and then fed with coarse feed with poor palatability, it will lead to sheep eating less.

2. You can't change the feed casually. For sheep, it needs microbial decomposition after eating feed before it can be absorbed by the body. If the feed is changed suddenly, the change of gastrointestinal environment will affect the absorption of microorganisms and it will be difficult for sheep to adapt, so it is not recommended to change the feed suddenly. If you want to change, you must take your time in the process of replacement.

3, usually pay attention to check whether there is any problem with the digestive system of the sheep, and pay attention to matching when feeding the feed. Only balanced nutrition can make sheep's physique better. You can make the sheep move more at ordinary times. If you keep it tied in the sheepfold and rarely move, it will lead to indigestion and easy eating.
