Short-term fattening of mutton sheep is an effective measure to increase the weight, slaughter rate, and economic efficiency of commercial sheep by feeding the commercial sheep three months before the sale and adding high-quality forage grass to fatten the fertilizer.
Prepare before fattening
Sheep house preparation Sheep house keeping density Each sheep occupies 0.4-0.5 square meters, in order to help limit sheep movement and increase fattening effect. The location of the sheep house should be selected for ventilation, drainage, lighting, sheltering, and access to grazing land and feed storage.
Preparation of fodder and fodder Forage and fodder are the basis for sheep fattening. Every sheep has to prepare 2 to 2.5 kg of hay per day, or 3 to 5 kg of silage, or 3 to 5 kg of ammoniated feed, etc. during the entire finishing period. Concentrates are prepared at 0.3-0.4 kg per sheep per day.
Choice of fattening season The lamb market has the largest market demand in winter and spring. Commodity sheep are more suitable for slaughter in winter. Therefore, the fattening season of mutton sheep is best in autumn, and the temperature is suitable for this season. The pasture and crop stalks are abundant, which is good for mutton sheep. Rapid growth and sales.
The choice of fattening sheep The sheep used for fattening should use the lambs of the current year and young sheep, followed by the elimination of sheep and old sheep. After selecting the fattening sheep, the sheep need to be dewormed and castrated.
Mastering the principles of feeding and management
The proportion of crude concentrate feed to the appropriate crude and coarse ratio can not only provide energy, but also meet the needs of protein, but also maintain the normal activities of the sheep's stomach and ensure the health of the sheep. Therefore, the concentrate feed accounts for 1/3 of the diet. should. Seed-like feeds should not be ground too fine to prevent dust from being inhaled into the lungs by sheep and affecting health. In addition, when the concentrate is combined with green hay, it is best to add silage to supplement vitamins, or to add complex vitamins and trace elements.
Protein-protein levels in sheep diets should be around 8%.
Feeding amount and feeding method The feeding amount of the sheep is determined according to the feed intake and how much to feed. The feed intake is related to the species, age, sex, physique, feed palatability, and moisture of the sheep. The greater the intake of sheep, the higher the daily gain. The daily intake of hay for the sheep is 2 to 2.5 kg, 3 to 4 kg for fresh green grass, and 0.3 to 0.4 kg for fine material. The feeding method is to feed the concentrate first, then feed hay or coarse material, and finally drink water. Forage is added at any time to keep the sheep's strong appetite and increase its feed intake.
Routine management methods to minimize sheep movements, reduce consumption, so that the sheep absorb all the nutrients used to increase weight. Autumn fattening, at noon can put the sheep out of the sun or near the short grazing.
