What should I pay attention to in goat captivity?
1, captive goats should have enough playgrounds. Captive goats should not only have a well-ventilated, warm, comfortable, dry and hygienic sheephouse, but also build a playground 2~3 times larger than the sheephouse outside to let the sheep move and bask in the sun, so as to ensure the healthy growth of the sheep. If the captive goats do not exercise enough and the light time is too short, it will not only affect the growth of sheep, but also cause various diseases. Grass is the seed of grain, and sheep is the pig. However, goat captivity is different from pig breeding. In order to improve feed reward, pig breeding needs less exercise, while goat captivity needs enough exercise to reduce various diseases. 2, captive goats should be reasonably matched with diet. When grazing freely, goats can selectively eat grass and leaves they like or need to meet their own physiological and metabolic needs. However, in captivity, people rely on artificial feeding and eat whatever they are fed. If the feed type is single and the nutrition is not comprehensive, it will inevitably lead to the lack of some elements and nutrition, leading to the emaciation of sheep and the occurrence of various diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably match the diet of captive goats to ensure that the forage is diverse, reasonable and balanced. (1) Green feed mainly includes: sweet potato vines, peanut vines, grasses, weeds, leaves, etc. Ensure an adequate supply of 2~3 kinds of green feed every day. (2) Roughage mainly includes: crop straw, chaff, etc. In the peak season of green raw materials and the harvest season of raw materials, green coarse materials should be silaged and ammoniated for use in off-season. 0.5~ 1 kg per animal per day. (3) High-quality hay includes dried flowers and vines, soybean stalks, Stylosanthes, alfalfa, etc. 0.3~0.5 kg per animal per day. (4) Concentrate: captive goats should be supplemented with concentrate. The concentrated formula usually contains 40-60% grain, 10-25% protein, 20-30% bran, 3% minerals and 1% urea. 0. 1 ~ 0.3kg per animal per day. 3, captive goats should supplement mineral balance. In free grazing, goats can eat rich trace elements to meet their growth and development needs, while in captivity, due to limited forage species, it is easy to cause insufficient trace elements and affect the growth and development of sheep. Mineral salt-licking bricks should be placed in the goat house in captivity, and some yellow mud should be piled up in the sports ground to let the sheep lick the soil freely and replenish minerals. 4. Goats in captivity should strengthen disease prevention and control. (1) Regular deworming: once in spring and autumn, ivermectin and albendazole are alternately used each time, and once intramuscular injection or oral administration. (2) Regular medicated bath: medicated bath twice a year, with 1% trichlorfon or 0.5% formaldehyde solution. Choose a sunny day, the water temperature is about 35℃, and let the sheep bath for 1~2 minutes. (3) Environmental disinfection: clean the sheephouse and wash the sink and sink every day. High efficiency and low toxicity chemicals kill mosquitoes and flies in spring, summer and autumn. (4) Prevention and control of epidemic diseases: do a good job in vaccination and comprehensive prevention and control of important infectious diseases such as goat chain bad ball disease, brucellosis, No.5 disease, infectious pustular stomatitis and infectious pleurisy. Disinfect pens, stadiums and appliances regularly with 10~20% quicklime water or 2~4% caustic soda.
