How to cool sheep in summer heatstroke?

Summer heat and humidity, mosquitoes are more likely to cause a variety of sheep diseases, but also easily lead to heat stroke in sheep and other phenomena, if improper feeding and management, it will even cause the death of raising only. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out scientific management in raising sheep in summer.

1, pay attention to the environmental health of the sheep house. Summer rain is more likely to cause wet conditions in the housing and the environment is not good, often causing the occurrence of parasitic diseases, so pay attention to the environmental sanitation, ventilation and moisture protection of the sheep house, keep the sheep house clean and dry, do the parasites and other parasites The prevention and treatment. Feeding utensils are often kept clean without feeds that are moldy, deteriorating, toxic, and contain foreign matter. Sheds and sports grounds should be cleaned regularly to provide a clean, comfortable and comfortable environment for herders. According to the above situation, Yangyang households can choose to use the technology of Jinbao dry-leaf-fermentation bed to raise sheep. The fermentation bed culture technology is based on microbiological and ecological principles and uses a unique active compound microbial flora to continuously and stably treat animal excrement. Decomposition of waste into gas, nutrients (such as various crude protein, bacterial proteins, amino acids, etc.) and energy, to achieve a complete environment-friendly breeding mode without pollution and zero emission targets for the complete degradation of excreta. The bed of the fermentation bed is clean and sanitary. There is no accumulation of feces, and sheep excrement is not needed. The sheep grow healthier and less ill in a clean and sanitary environment.

2. Improve the facilities of the sheep house. During the hot summer months, shaded nets and other heat-insulating materials can be used to cover the sheep sheds. At the same time, radiant heat and heat of reflection are reduced by widening the eaves and constructing pergolas to cool the sheep house. When the air temperature is relatively low in the morning and in the evening, the windows and thermal insulation facilities will be opened to ensure ventilation in the sheep house.

3, add homes to reduce the supporting equipment. Conditioned sheep farms can use a wet curtain cooling system to cool down. Unconditional facilities such as electric fans, water sprays, and sprays can be installed in the sheep house. Water can be sprayed and sprayed at the top of the house and in the house from time to time for cooling. It is also possible to spray water directly on the sheep to reduce body temperature, but in advance a training adaptation process is needed to prevent the sheep from adapting to the stress response. When spraying water or spraying, be careful to ensure ventilation to prevent hot stuffiness. Large-scale farms also need to equip and overhaul power generation equipment to prevent unplanned power outages and downtime, affecting the implementation of cooling work.

4, to reduce the feeding density of sheep. In addition to the high natural temperature in the sheep's house, the sheep's high stocking density and accumulation of feces can also lead to excessive heat production. The indoor heat should be reduced by appropriately lowering the stocking density of the flock so as to reduce the temperature in the house. 5. Adjust diet formula and feeding time. To increase the level of dietary nutrients, it is best to use full-price feed and fermented feeds (which can use common food straws and pastures to ferment sheep's feed) and add some substances that help digestion and good palatability (such as Active enzymes, multi-vitamin B, etc., enhance the appetite of goats; use the relatively cool time of day and night to feed, feed less frequently, maintain a certain feed intake, and enhance body resistance.

6, to ensure that sheep only sufficient water. Take shade and heat insulation measures on the water tank, replace the water in the water tank in time, ensure that the sheep can drink clean and cool water at any time, which is conducive to lowering the body temperature; let the sheep drink light salt water, and the amount of salt added: each sheep can Calculated according to 8 ~ 10 grams, so as to improve the cooling effect of sunstroke.

In addition, high-temperature weather should try to avoid the stimulation of human factors such as transfer, expulsion, transportation, etc., to prevent the occurrence of heat stress, it is really necessary to move the group, transfer to the group should be arranged in the cool morning and evening time; regular disinfection of the barn, Eradicate pathogens, eliminate potential risks, and timely treat isolated sheep. It is recommended to adopt the eco-friendly Golden Treasure dry-sweeping bed to raise sheep, not only to provide a clean and healthy growing environment for the sheep, but also to reduce feed costs, labor costs, energy costs, and so on. The benefits of raising sheep are even higher.
