What food do sheep eat 1, food
Sheep are herbivores, mainly eating green feed such as leaves, clover, ryegrass, Sudan grass, sweet potato vines, vegetable leaves and crop straws, and also eating concentrate such as corn, barley, bean cakes, bran and vegetable cakes. The ewes and lambs are regularly fed high-protein feed such as fish meal or bone meal.
2. Feeding time
When raising sheep, feed them 2-3 times a day, and ensure grazing time of 6-7 hours in spring and summer to reduce the expenditure of feed cost and increase the resistance of sheep. In addition, you can put salt bricks in the sheepfold and let the sheep lick them to avoid malnutrition.
3. Replenish drinking water
When raising sheep, you should replenish drinking water in time. If the sheep don't drink enough water, it will lead to dry blindness, reduce the appetite of the sheep, and easily make the sheep infected with diseases. Salt can be added to the drinking water to increase the water consumption of sheep, and warm water should be provided in winter to prevent sheep from catching a cold.
4, warm measures
Sheep consume a lot of fat in winter. To raise sheep in winter, it is necessary to spread double-layer windshield outside the sheepfold, and then seal the doors and windows of the sheepfold with plastic film to keep the temperature inside the sheepfold constant. When the weather is fine every day, open the doors and windows to let the indoor air circulate and reduce the chance of sheep getting sick.
