What is the cold-resistant temperature of sheep?

The cold-resistant temperature of sheep is -20 degrees Celsius to -40 degrees Celsius.

As an animal with strong adaptability and cold tolerance, sheep can survive and reproduce in a cold environment. Generally speaking, different breeds of sheep have different tolerance to cold. Common cold-resistant sheep breeds include Himalayan sheep, Tibetan East goat and Mongolian sheep.

Himalayan sheep is a kind of sheep adapted to cold areas, living in mountainous areas above 3000 meters above sea level. According to farmers, this kind of sheep can still live normally at a low temperature of MINUS 30 degrees Celsius, and its cold tolerance is amazing. Tibetan East Goat is known as the "fighter among alpine sheep", which can survive in the cold of MINUS 40 degrees Celsius and endure the attack of wind and snow. Mongolian sheep is a common sheep breed in Inner Mongolia grassland. They usually live in a low temperature environment of MINUS 20 degrees Celsius, and can keep their body temperature through long and dense hair.

Matters needing attention in raising sheep in winter

In winter, sheep should be raised in the valley of sunny slope, sheltered from the wind and sunny, with high and dry terrain and good water source. While some forage is still dead, pay close attention to grazing, release it late and harvest it early, pay attention to grazing at noon on sunny days, and let the sheep eat as much forage as possible. It is forbidden to eat frost forage and feed it after returning to the house. The weather is cold in the solar terms in late winter, so the sheep should be fed in the house. The sheepfold should be inspected frequently, the place with broken air leakage should be repaired in time, and the doors and windows should be hung with straw curtains. Pay special attention to the snowstorm and block up the places where the wind and snow leak.

We can cover the place where sheep are raised with thick warm plastic film and cover it with double-layer film. This can not only protect the sheep from wind, but also keep the temperature of the sheepfold to a certain extent. In addition, we can further increase the temperature of the sheepfold and use floor heating to heat the floor.
