2. Pay attention to the hygiene of the sheepfold: the high temperature in summer is easy to breed bacteria in the sheepfold. Farmers should clean the manure of the sheepfold every day or regularly, and do a good job of disinfection regularly to ensure smooth ventilation, which can reduce the irritating smell and humidity of the sheepfold. In addition to paying attention to the hygiene of the sheepfold, we should also do a good job in mosquito prevention and killing, because mosquitoes will not only spread some diseases, but also seriously affect the normal rest of sheep and have a great impact on their health and growth. Therefore, farmers should regularly spray drugs inside and outside the sheephouse to kill mosquitoes and flies, and mosquito-repellent incense or smoked mosquitoes can be used to kill mosquitoes and flies.
3, pay attention to feeding methods: In summer, we must reduce the feeding density of sheep, because sheep will dissipate heat. When the feeding density of sheep is too crowded, sheep are more prone to thermal stress. Usually, a sheep can occupy a shed of 2 square meters, but in summer, a sheep will occupy a shed of 3~4 square meters, and it is best to raise sheep of different sizes and uses.
In addition, sheep with high temperature in summer also need more water, so it is necessary to supply enough clean drinking water, preferably 24 hours a day. In addition, adding vitamin C or electrolyte to drinking water can also alleviate the heat stress reaction of sheep to some extent.
Finally, it is necessary to avoid feeding sheep when it is hot in summer. Feeding at five or six o'clock in the morning and after sunset at night, adding some green and juicy feed during the day can improve the feed intake of sheep, and the weather is cool after eating, which is conducive to rumination, digestion and growth of sheep.
