How to raise goats

1, sheep house construction. Choose a place with high terrain, good drainage and plenty of sunshine. The ground of the sheepfold should be 20 cm higher than the ground. The sheepfold should be strong, warm and well ventilated. The area should be determined according to the breeding scale, as long as each sheep has 1-2_ activity space, the eaves height should be controlled above 3 m, and some trees should be planted outside the sheephouse to prevent heatstroke and cool down. The sheepfold is equipped with a sports field, which is 2-5 times as large as the sheepfold. The sports ground should be equipped with drinking water trough, food trough and grass rack, and a manure storage tank should be built outside the sheepfold to treat goat manure.

2. Sheep selection. The breed of sheep directly determines the production performance of sheep. Combining with the local conditions, selecting suitable sheep breeds can improve the yield and economic benefits to a certain extent, and it is generally better to raise hybrid sheep.

3, castration in time. For rams that are not suitable for breeding, except some of the tested rams, other rams should be castrated at the age of 7-60 days to facilitate management.

4. Feed. Sheep are herbivores, and the feed they feed is mainly grass and leaves, supplemented by concentrated feed. The temperature is high in summer and autumn, so it is necessary to feed goats more forage, leaves and pasture. The ratio of forage grass to forage grass should be 4: 1, and concentrate feed should be supplemented appropriately. In winter and spring, the temperature is low, and there is little forage. You can feed more mixed feed to goats to meet the nutrition needed for their growth and promote their growth and development.

5. Drinking water supply. Provide goats with enough drinking water every day to avoid loss of appetite and indigestion caused by lack of water, and drink warm water to goats in winter.

6. Daily management. Clean the ground of the sheephouse once a day, disinfect the sheephouse and its surroundings regularly, remove sheep manure once every 15 days, and transport it to a place far away from the sheephouse for accumulation and fermentation. In order to ensure the healthy growth of sheep and increase the yield, ewes, lactating ewes and lambs with fetal weight should be raised in a separate sheephouse of 2_ in time to avoid excessive feeding density, miscarriage of ewes and crushing of lambs. The single-room sheephouse where they are raised should be kept dry, clean, with sufficient light, and the temperature should be controlled at 18-20℃ to ensure the healthy growth of sheep.
