1, the choice of superior breed: the degree of excellence of the breed of the growth capacity of the lake sheep and the quality of the close connection, to choose a uniform body type, long fast breeder, in the breeding time to pay attention to the string of seeds, to prevent inbreeding. 2, the breeding of preparation: the sexual maturity of the lake sheep is relatively early in the birth of the lake sheep sheep young sheep after six months or so will enter the period of sexual maturity. 3, the feeding points

First, the breeding technology and management of the lake sheep

1, the breeding technology of the lake sheep

(1) Selection of superior breed

① The degree of excellence of the breed of the lake sheep has a certain connection with its ability to grow as well as the quality of the sheep, you must select the uniform body type, fast-growing breeder rams, the breeding of string, which prevents inbreeding. This will prevent inbreeding.

② introduction must pay attention to its purity, must have the growth advantages of the lake sheep, otherwise it will reduce the commercial value of the lake sheep.

③ After the selection of breeding should be ready to reproduce, in the lake sheep gradually enter the breeding period, can be divided into groups of rearing, when it began to heat can be mated, and then breeding work.

(2) breeding preparation

① Lake sheep sexual maturity time is relatively early, in the young sheep born in about six months will enter sexual maturity, lake sheep in about 9 months can be mated, the ewe's estrus time is about 3 weeks.

② Generally in the ewe 1-2 days after the estrus is the best breeding time, the ewe conception cycle in about 5 months, there is no requirement for the breeding season.

③ If you need to breed again, usually in the 10th hour, 20 hours after estrus, must do a good job of management, so that you can increase the proportion of feed nutrients, improve the conception rate.

(3) feeding points

① Lake sheep feed is generally based on pasture, when feeding must be combined with concentrate feed together, for breeding sheep, young sheep, etc. can not ignore the feeding of concentrate.

② The amount of feed must ensure that the sheep can eat, if the sheep after eating the sound of the sheep on behalf of not enough, to make up for the feed in a timely manner.

③ In the feeding must follow the principle of timing and quantity, feeding about 2 times a day, can not, long-term feeding of a single feed, to prevent nutritional deficiencies affecting the growth of lake sheep.

④ You can add a small amount of salt to the feed, salt can enhance the appetite of the goat, promote digestion.

4, disease control

① Diseases can cause some harm to the growth of the lake sheep, especially some infectious diseases, such as sheep fever, five disease.

② In the breeding process must pay attention to, can not feed moldy and deteriorated feed to the lake sheep, to avoid gastrointestinal diseases.

③ To do a good job of epidemic prevention, which can improve the resilience of the goat, and a regular disinfection of the sheep house, to observe the goat's eating, activity and feces.

2, lake sheep management

(1) feed management

① Grass

(1) general solution to the problem of grass is equivalent to solving the process of raising sheep 2 / 3 of the problem, grass mainly includes fresh grass, green hay, vine grass, silage, fruit tree leaves and mulberry leaves.

(2) home rearing of lake sheep is generally what season to eat what grass, eat the same kind of grass every day (such as spring and summer seasons, fresh green grass is abundant, this time all every day to feed only fresh grass), so not only in the taste of a single, but also in the nutritional aspect is too single, lake sheep will be due to nutritional deficiencies caused by certain diseases.

(3) can be fed some green hay, fresh grass, and then add some silage if possible, with feeding, so as to better balance the nutrition, good sheep.

② Concentrates

(1) concentrates are mainly supplemented with the addition of the main, must not be fed a large number of periods.

(2) generally in the case of rich grass, mainly for the pre-breeding, pre-pregnancy late ewes, lactating ewes, breeding rams, lambs and the leaner sheep to add, the dose control in the 0.25 kg per day or so (according to the flocks of the appropriate increase or decrease in the size of the situation), add the time is generally in the morning or at night, the main ingredients are: bran, soybean meal, corn, rapeseed cake, green chaff and so on.

(2) daily management

① rams and ewes should be reared in separate pens

(1) small lake sheep weaned to leave the ewes must be reared in separate pens of rams and ewes, the ewes can be impregnated to 4 months of age after normal conception, but this time the conception of the ewes will affect the future of the individual development of the ewes (for example, originally able to grow 50 kilograms of the ewes, and now can only grow 35 kilograms).

(2) circle feeding can also be avoided inbreeding, to maintain the lineage does not decay, the lake sheep prefer to live in groups, according to the appropriate density and circle feeding.

② feed enough, feed and water

(1) the requirements of the lake sheep on the feed must be diversified, the grass should be clean (the lake sheep do not eat trampled grass, feeding can take a small amount of feeding methods to reduce waste), can not be moldy, hot, yellow.

⑵ drinking water conditions can use automatic water dispenser (automatic water dispenser drinking sanitation, water saving, sheep can drink at any time), the use of water troughs to feed water, water troughs should be cleaned every day, and then only to put enough clean water to let the sheep drink freely.

③ Keep the pen dry and ventilated

(1) The bedding of the sheep pen should be kept dry every day, and the straw used for bedding should be cut short, otherwise it will entangle the sheep's legs and cause unnecessary losses, such as abortions.

(2) Both grass pens and slatted bed pens must be regularly cleared of sheep manure, which should be piled up and fermented to minimize pollution.

④ Regular hoof trimming, timely shearing, medicinal bath

(1) Lake sheep adult, hoof front will be keratinized, so regular hoof trimming, otherwise it will affect their standing and walking, serious is also will cause hoof disease.

(2) Sheep should be sheared and medicated every spring and fall season, so that they can drive away extracorporeal parasites and prepare for summer and winter.

⑤ Regularly do a good job of disinfection and epidemic prevention

(1) in the daily production must be regularly disinfected, loose farmers can use quicklime, grass ash or disinfectant sold in the market for disinfection, disinfection 1-2 times a month can be.

(2) Large-scale farmers or large-scale farmers must develop a disinfection plan and disinfection system, and equipped with perfect disinfection facilities, such as disinfection pools, disinfection locker rooms (equipped with disinfection UV lamps), disinfection sprayers, etc., and disinfection can not be less than 2 times a month.

(3) disinfection will generally choose the market sale of disinfectants, agents must be changed frequently, not long-term use of a or a class of disinfectant drugs, otherwise it will make the bacteria on the disinfectant drug resistance.

Second, the lake sheep suitable for which areas of farming

1, the lake sheep is more suitable for farming in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places, its main origin is Zhejiang Jiaxing and Taihu Lake area, the lake sheep is unique to China's sheep breeds of lamb skin. Lake sheep have the advantages of early maturity, fast growth and development, 2 fetuses in 1 year, four seasons of estrus, good lactation performance, etc. Lake sheep have more lambs per fetus, improved meat production performance is more ideal, high temperature and high humidity resistance is also very good.

2, the lake sheep like quiet, especially pregnant or lactating ewes, very like a dry and clean living environment. Lake sheep are more afraid of mosquitoes and flies, afraid of humidity, so the sheep house must be kept dry, clean and sanitary to prevent mosquitoes and flies from infesting. Lake sheep are afraid of light, especially afraid of strong sunlight, feeding lake sheep should have a darker living environment.

3, the breeding season of lake sheep is generally in the spring April-May breeding, fall September-October lambing. A part of the lake sheep can also be appropriate to adjust the breeding season, arranged in September-November breeding, lambing in February-April of the following year, so as to achieve ? Two years, three tires? The purpose of this is to make sure that you are able to get the best out of your child.
