How to increase the profitability of fattening sheep

The price of sheep seedlings, forage grass, feed materials, labor costs and other aspects have risen more violently, and the breeding risk is getting higher and higher. Under such a market, how to improve the efficiency of breeding is affected by the following factors. The first is to change the concept, from the direction of making money by relying on the market and the price difference between buying sheep and selling big sheep in the past, to improve the breeding technology, reducing the dead stock, quickly alleviating the stress response, effectively increasing the growth rate, and increasing the slaughter Efforts should be made to shorten the feeding cycle and other aspects. The second is to pay attention to the scientific investment in the facilities and equipment of the pens, and the last is to pay attention to the prevention and control of epidemics. The scientific epidemic prevention and control system is used to prevent and control the occurrence of diseases, rather than passive treatment.

Today I will focus on feeding and management techniques. At present, the profitability of farmers in the market is shown in the following aspects: they choose to buy lambs weighing more than ten to twenty kilograms, and buy small weights and raise them above 120 kilograms. The profit margins in the middle are relatively large. The sheep seedlings can handle the stress response well within two to three weeks after arriving home, and control the death rate within 1%. During the stress period, feed good quality lamb feed, with soybean meal, premix, crushed corn or steam compressed corn, especially premix with rumen protection vitamins, lysine, glucose, choline, etc. The feed effect is more prominent, which can quickly and effectively alleviate the stress response of purchased sheep seedlings and reduce the rate of death.

The selected breeds are often mutton lambs that have increased daily gains and high feed rates, and can weigh more than 120 kilograms, such as Suffolk hybrid sheep, fine-wool hybrid sheep, Dorper hybrid sheep, Australian white hybrid sheep, and small-tailed Han sheep hybrid. Sheep and so on.

Three weeks after the sheep vaccine arrives home, after completing the vaccine injection and relieving the stress, switch to the self-mixing mode. This stage combines deworming and strengthening the stomach and shearing. Before the weight of 80 kg, the bone growth is promoted to the greatest extent and the skeleton is stretched. , The goal of promoting the development of the digestive system, laying the hardware foundation for later fattening with high-concentration feed, high daily gain, and high slaughter rate. Of course, this requires that the energy, protein, minerals, trace elements, vitamins, balance of intestinal metabolizable amino acids, fiber intake, water and other nutritional indicators in the diet can match the weight and growth rate of the sheep. Satisfy.

Generally, male lambs of more than 20 kilograms from home, after 5.5-6 months of fattening, the small-tailed Han sheep hybrid breed can reach more than 120 kilograms, and the meat hybrid breeds such as Suffolk, fine wool, Dorper, and Australian white can reach more than 140 kilograms. The mature farmers generally adopt the self-proportioning model. The raw materials of the diet include premix, baking soda, soybean meal, peanut cake, corn, yeast culture and other fermented products, peanut seedlings or kneaded corn stalks. Self-feeding has considerable advantages in reducing feeding costs, increasing daily gain, slaughter rate, diet quality, and stability of taste. This is also the main reason why farmers with intensive breeding areas and mature technology choose self-made ingredients.
In the self-mixing mode, the key is to choose the premix. The premix is the core of the concentrate and diet. The content of vitamins, lysine, glucose, choline, minerals, trace elements and other components and the absorption utilization rate It is a key measurement index. After the raw materials are selected, the ration of the corresponding stage is formulated according to the breed, temperature conditions, weight stage, and growth rate of the sheep. Generally, large feed manufacturers have relevant technical experts to guide them.
