Whether sheep drink cold water or warm water in winter is related to the feeding method.

It is best to give sheep warm water in winter, because it takes a lot of energy to drink cold water, even water with ice residue, to heat it to the temperature of sheep's body temperature. Pay attention when raising sheep. When grazing, you must choose cool weather. We should go out as early as possible in the morning and come back later in the afternoon. The ground of the sheepfold must be kept dry, sanitary and ventilated, and the sheepfold and playground should be cleaned and disinfected regularly.

1. Do sheep drink cold water or warm water in winter?

1. Warm water must be used to drink water for sheep in winter, because it takes a lot of energy to heat the water in sheep if you drink cold water or water with ice residue. If the energy consumption is large, it will affect the fatness of sheep.

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, the method of raising sheep

1, select excellent varieties.

(1) Take the breeding of Hu sheep as an example. When choosing Hu sheep, you must choose a ram with uniform body shape and fast growth.

(2) After the seed selection is completed, we must be prepared for breeding and pay attention to avoid inbreeding.

Step 2 prepare for reproduction

(1) The sexual maturity time of Hu sheep is relatively early, and it will enter sexual maturity about half a year after the young sheep are born. Hu sheep can be bred in about 9 months, and ewe estrus lasts about 3 weeks.

(2) Generally, the best mating time is 1-2 days after estrus, and the pregnancy cycle of ewes is about 5 months, so there is no requirement for mating season.

(3) If it is necessary to re-breed, it should generally be carried out within 10 hour and within 20 hours after estrus. When mating, management must be done well, which can increase the feed nutrition ratio and improve the conception rate.

3. Feeding point

(1) Hu sheep's feed is mainly grass, so it must be fed with concentrated feed, which can't be ignored for breeding sheep and young sheep.

(2) The amount of feed must ensure that the sheep can eat enough. If the sheep barks after eating, it means that it is not enough and should be supplemented in time.

(3) When feeding, you must follow the principle of regular and quantitative feeding, and feed it about twice a day. You can't feed a single feed for a long time to prevent nutritional deficiency from affecting the growth of Hu sheep.

(4) A small amount of salt can be added to the feed, which can enhance Hu sheep's appetite and promote digestion.

4. Disease prevention and treatment

(1) Diseases will do some harm to the growth of Hu sheep, especially some infectious diseases, such as sheep plague and No.5 disease.

(2) In the process of feeding, we must pay attention not to feed Hu sheep with moldy and deteriorated feed, so as not to cause gastrointestinal diseases.

(3) Doing well the epidemic prevention work of Hu sheep can improve the disaster resistance of Hu sheep. Moreover, the sheephouse should be disinfected regularly to observe the feeding, activities and feces of Hu sheep.
