Feed sheep with straw in Henan Province

Introduction: since winter, many sheep farmers in Shigang Town, Neixiang County, Henan Province have smashed straw and added some coarse materials to feed sheep, instead of feeding sheep directly with straw as in previous years Sheep like to eat a lot and get fat quickly In the past winter, there were fewer grazing places on the hillside, and farmers did not have the conditions for ammoniating straw, so they took out the accumulated dry straw and let the sheep eat it directly The sheep eat and tear at the same time They tear everywhere every time After peeing and hoofing, the sheep will no longer eat the rest of the straw, and some of the straw fed to the sheep will not be fully utilized Because the dry straw is not fresh, the sheep eat slowly, the digestion time in the stomach is long after eating, the nutrition can not be fully absorbed, and the sheep lose fat in winter This feeding method not only wastes straw, but also is not conducive to the growth of sheep in winter This winter, some farmers will crush the straw and feed some coarse materials to the sheep, which is especially effective Peanut seedling, sweet potato seedling, wheat straw and soybean straw can be used Add 15kg wheat bran, 10kg corn flour and 0.5kg-1kg salt into every 50kg of crushed straw, mix them fully, add some warm water to make them moist, put them into a basin for sheep to eat, and feed about 1.5kg of straw mixture to each sheep every day The wet and crushed straw mixture is rich in nutrition, which is convenient for digestion and absorption of sheep Sheep especially like to eat it In the past, only one sheep's straw for winter was crushed, and now 3-5 sheep can eat it for winter.
