1. Ensure a sufficient reserve of forage and feed to guarantee a stable supply throughout the year. In addition, implement proper preparation and storage techniques to maintain high-quality forage. This includes drying, baling, and storing in clean, dry areas to prevent spoilage and contamination.
2. Set up simple straw racks and feeding troughs to make grass feeding more efficient and reduce waste, thereby improving feed utilization. When feeding root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and sugar beets, it's important to wash them thoroughly to remove dirt and impurities before chopping and offering them as juicy feed. No matter the type of feed—hay, silage, or juice—if it shows signs of mold, it should not be fed to the sheep to avoid health issues.
3. Maintain a consistent feeding schedule for coarse feed regardless of the feeding method. For sheep that are grazing, feed hay in the morning before they go out to graze and provide a concentrate mix in the evening. Afterward, offer an appropriate amount of straw to ensure balanced nutrition.
4. During summer and autumn, feed leguminous grasses such as clover, vetch, and alfalfa to captive sheep. These should be chopped and mixed with other feeds to improve digestibility and nutrient intake.
5. Avoid feeding leftover feed to sheep, as this can lead to overeating and digestive problems. Always provide fresh, properly measured portions to maintain their health and well-being.
6. Regardless of the rearing system, sheep should receive regular vaccinations and deworming treatments. Sheep infected with gastrointestinal parasites are especially vulnerable to diarrhea, weight loss, and even death during spring. Therefore, it’s crucial to provide a balanced diet and good living conditions during autumn and winter to help them survive the cold season and grow strong.
7. After the winter weaning period, when young grasses start to sprout, grazing can begin. However, in early spring, the grass will soon become dry, so it's essential to provide supplementary feeding during the winter months. Ensure breeding ewes have access to enough green hay, and supplement their diet with 200 to 250 grams of a mixed feed daily in addition to grazing.
8. Keep the finishing sheep house well-ventilated, dry, warm, and clean. Provide basic feeding troughs, straw racks, and clean drinking water. If possible, install a plastic shed over the lamb finishing area to provide extra warmth during colder periods.
9. Regularly clean the shed and remove manure to maintain hygiene. Feed the fattening sheep twice a day, usually once in the afternoon. For grazing lambs, choose nearby high-quality pastures to minimize energy expenditure and maximize growth efficiency. Avoid long walks to the grazing area, as this can reduce the effectiveness of the feeding program.
