The colostrum is fed 5-7 days after the lamb is born, and it is best to let the lamb naturally breastfeed with the ewes. Colostrum is an indispensable ideal natural food for newborn lambs. It is not only nutritious, easy to digest and absorb, but also immune and disease resistant. Therefore, the lamb should be eaten as early as possible and eat more colostrum. The sooner you eat, the more you eat. The faster the weight gain, the stronger the constitution, the less incidence, and the higher survival rate. After the period of colostrum, the lamb should be separated from the ewes and replaced by artificial feeding, so that the ewes can reduce the interference with lambs and perform regular milking. Lambs leave the ewes for the first time and artificial breastfeeding often does not suck, so they must be trained in advance. There are two types, bottle feeding and pot drinking. The bottle feeding method can be used to feed the teat nipple. If you use the pot drinking method, you can initially fix the head with both hands so that you can suck milk in the pot to induce smoking. Be careful not to immerse the nostrils in the milk pot so as not to inadvertently inhale the nasal cavity. Breathe. If the lamb does not drink milk, the washed right index finger can be immersed in milk to induce it to suck milk from the finger. Training lambs and milk must be patience, not forced hard feed, otherwise it is easy to enter the trachea to cause disease or cause death. After a 1-2 day training, lambs can be used to artificially breastfeed. The technical points to be grasped by artificial breastfeeding require regular, quantitative, constant temperature, and qualitative determination. That is, artificial breastfeeding must strictly abide by the prescribed time, number of times of feeding and amount of feeding. The milk of the lamb to be fed must be fresh, and the temperature should be similar to or slightly higher than the temperature of the ewes (38-42C2. In addition, all utensils exposed to milk must be cleaned and disinfected. To maintain hygiene, the maximum amount of breast-feeding is usually no more than 20% of the body weight of the day and night, and no more than 25% of the body weight of the lamb does not exceed 25% of body weight before the body weight reaches 8 kg. The amount of breast-feeding increases with body weight. The body weight is in the stage of 8-13 kg. The amount of breast-feeding is constant. During this period, it should try its best to train its fodder, and should pay attention to the grass should be soft, it is expected to fry incense. After weighing 13 kilograms, the amount of breast-feeding is gradually reduced, the forage is gradually increased, and the body weight is 18-24 kg. The average daily weight gain during the entire lactation period, the female lamb should not be less than 150 grams, the male lamb should not be less than 180 grams.If the daily gain is too high, an average of 150 grams or more, feeding too much will affect The proper body condition for dairy goats is not good for milk production, and if high quality legumes and better concentrates are available during the lactation period, as long as the weight gain index can be achieved, the amount of breast milk can be reduced and the period of lactation can be shortened. Milk instead of whole milk, first required From the next month after birth, there should be high-quality concentrates in the diet, and there should always be sufficient quality legume hay, which will not affect the weight gain plan. Lambs should have sufficient drinking water during breast-feeding, and water basins should be placed at the activity site for lambs to drink at any time. China Agricultural Network Editor
