I believe that many rural friends have raised sheep. After all, there is a lot of room for raising sheep in the countryside, and there are more foods for it, especially the grass they eat. In fact, the ram and the ewe are not able to be mixed, and there are five disadvantages. This is something that farmers need to understand. So what are the drawbacks of rams and ewes? The following small series will give you a detailed explanation!
Five disadvantages of rams and ewes:
1, can not make full use of good breed rams
The sheep are free to mate, inevitably vain mating and redundant repetitive mating, while a ram can only afford the breeding task of 15 to 20 ewes. The ram is energy-intensive and will shorten the period of use and waste. Therefore, the ram should be kept separately from the ewes. During the breeding period, manual assisted mating is required.
2, the breeding time is wrong
When the ram and the ewes are mixed together, they will inevitably mate, which may lead to the occurrence of ewes pregnancy and lambing throughout the year. This is not conducive to the feeding management of sheep, nor to the development of the fetus. The lambs produced by the ewes are poor in constitution, low in winter and low in survival rate. In comparison, ewes produce better lambs in spring and winter, while lambs in winter are better than lambs in spring. Lambs born in winter are generally pregnant in July-August. Ewes have good sensation, strong estrus, high ovulation, high conception rate, good fetal development, great body weight and good cortex at birth. When the lamb is weaned, it just catches up with the warming of the weather, can eat grass, grow fast, and has a high survival rate. Therefore, the rams should be kept separately from the ewes. From July to August, the rams and ewes are selected to mate, so that the ewes can be lambed from December to January.
3, improper breeding objects
Sheep generally mature at 7-8 months of age, but it is not suitable for breeding. Older sheep and sick sheep are also not suitable for breeding. Only healthy sheep of 1.5 to 7 years old are suitable for breeding. If the ram and the ewe are mixed and arbitrarily mated, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled will all be pregnant, which will seriously affect the growth and development of the young ewes, and also affect the screening of the old, weak, sick and disabled ewes.
4, causing unclear bloodlines in future generations
The sheep are free to mate, often not sure which lamb of the "father" is the lamb, it is not convenient to choose the breeding, there will be intimate mating, genetic diseases, loss of "hybrid advantage."
5, affecting the normal feeding of the ewes
The rams and ewes are mixed together, the rams often chase the ewes, so that the flocks are not peaceful, and the ewes are unable to concentrate on feeding, thus affecting their growth and development.
Generally speaking, if the ram and the ewes are mixed and raised, it is easy to have the above five drawbacks. Therefore, in order to raise the sheep to grow up healthy and progeny, it is best to raise them separately!
