Boer goat roughage how to choose

Feeding is an inevitable choice for the majority of rural sheep-rearing industries. To achieve efficient production of sheep-raising products, it is necessary not only to select breeds with high productivity but also to adopt scientific feeding and management techniques, and in particular to make reasonable choices for feed. Let us talk about the selection and use of Boer goat roughage. 1. The artificial forage grasshopper is the king of pasture. Its excellent characteristics are well known and should be used as the first artificial pasture. Followed by hairy wolfberry, annual ryegrass, oat grass and so on. 2. The preferred crop stalks for crop stalks are peanut vines, which have good palatability, crude protein content of 11.2%, and dry matter degradation rate of 77.2%, which are 2.5 and 1.5 times that of wheat straw respectively. Followed by sweet potato vines, green bean pods, soybean pods and so on. 3. The feeding value of leaves of different varieties of leaves varies greatly. Among them, mulberry, eucalyptus, artichoke, amorpha, and eucalyptus have higher protein contents (up to 20%) and higher utilization rates, followed by willow, poplar, paulownia and other leaves, and apricot and persimmon trees. Jujube, plum, and apple trees have low protein content and low digestibility. The leaves collected at different times have very different nutrients. In general, fresh leaves harvested in spring have good palatability, high nutritional value, followed by young leaves in summer, and worst autumn leaves. Taking yam trees as an example, the crude protein content was 27.7% in spring, 24.7 in summer, and only 19.3% in autumn. However, there are also reports that the nutritional value of autumn mulberry leaves is higher than that of spring mulberry leaves. The common disadvantage of leaves is the high content of tannins, including mulberry leaves containing tannins and oxides. Therefore, feeding a sheep with a single leaf for a long period of time also causes a nutritional disease. For example, when Boer goats in a sheep farm have long-term feeding of Robinia pseudoacacia leaves, the phenomenon of decline in nymphae and hair loss occurs. 4. Weed species in different areas of wild grasses should be adapted to local conditions and collected in due course. 5. Juicy feed is preferred for carrots, followed by pumpkins. 6. Silage is excellent with corn silage with sticks.
