Six Measures to Improve the Survival Rate of Boer Goats

The Boer Goat hybrid has a good hybridization advantage, but its lamb's adaptability is not as good as that of the local sheep. If it is improperly managed, the mortality rate is often high. The measures for improving the survival rate of the crossbreeds of Boer goats include: First, eat early and eat colostrum. Within 1-3 days after the lamb is born, the lamb must be allowed to eat colostrum (the milk secreted by the ewe within 1-3 days after delivery) because the colostrum is rich in minerals, fats, vitamins, trace elements and high immunity. The antibodies are not only easily absorbed by the lambs but also enhance the disease resistance of the lambs. Second, careful management. Within 10 days of the birth of the lamb, Sherwin can be maintained at about 10°C and maintained at about 8°C after 10 days. At the same time, keep the sheep house dry and hygienic, with good ventilation (avoid drafts), and the relative humidity is about 65%. Third, early feeding. Lambs should be fed with green fodder at 10 days of age to avoid affecting the growth and development of lambs due to the lack of certain vitamins and trace elements. From the 15th day of age, supplements should be added to the mixed concentrates, and small pots should be used to keep the lamb free. Drink to prevent the occurrence of pica. The general feeding period is 4 months. Each lamb needs about 12 kg of concentrate. The amount of supplemental feed should increase with the age of the lamb. Fourth, prevention and treatment of diseases. Lambs are prone to pneumonia, corditis, gastroenteritis and dysentery. These diseases should be mainly prevention, on the one hand should enhance the lamb's physique, pay attention to cold and warm, timely vaccination; the other hand, every day to clean the sheep house, ground for grass, regular disinfection of the lamb house, use of the use of Before using hot water Poly. Once infected sheep are found, they must be isolated and treated in time. Fifth, timely weaning and deworming. Lambs must be weaned by 2 months of age. During weaning, the ewes are taken away and the lambs are kept in the original sheep house. Since the hybrid sheep is susceptible to a variety of parasitic diseases, lambs must be promptly injected with anthelmintic drugs. The appropriate age for deworming the ready-to-finish lamb is: 20 days after weaning and 2 months after weaning. Lambs prepared for planting can be dewormed in spring and autumn. Sixth, the lamb casts power. The male lambs of the Boer Goat hybrid should not be planted and must be castrated. After the oviposition of the hybrid male lamb, it is docile, easy-to-follow, fast-gaining, and tender and tender. Generally, it is raised to 6-8 months of age, and it can reach an optimal market weight of 30-50 kilograms. Eight to ten hours after the birth of the male lamb, oviposition can be performed by ligation; it can also be castrated by castration about 18 days after the birth of the male lamb. In case of rainy weather or weak male lambs, the castration time may be appropriately postponed. China Agricultural Network Editor
