Feeding of dairy goats

Feeding of dairy goats

The feeding methods of dairy goats in China are divided into three categories: grazing, semi-grazing and semi-grazing. Grazing rearing is a relatively primitive and extensive feeding method, which is mostly adopted in the sparse natural grassland areas and hilly and mountainous regions. Dairy goats grazing, their growth, milk production is affected by natural conditions, seasons and the ups and downs of pasture, management is simple and extensive, the production level is low, is not conducive to increase milk production, and often there will be animal husbandry conflicts, need to improve the pasture The combination of wintering grasses and supplementary feeds can only provide better economic benefits. Feeding in captivity is mostly a form of rearing used in rural areas lacking grazing land. The dairy goats bred by this method often suffer from lack of exercise, affect appetite, and have weak constitutions. If the sheep penis is small, it often causes various diseases due to poor ventilation. Overcrowded dairy goats are often short-legged, chest-narrowed, physically weak, physically small, thick-thick and short-lived. Therefore, in addition to feeding a certain amount of high-quality fodder according to different physiological stages for captive dairy goats, it is necessary to create movement conditions as far as possible, adopt mooring grazing, or perform regular chase-walking exercises. Semi-grazing is the best way to raise high-yielding dairy goats. After feeding forage in the morning, go out and grazing, and return to the sheep's house for feeding in the evening after the harvest. Dairy goats raised in this way have proper exercise and nutrition and are therefore well developed. They are generally physically larger, have thin muscles, high legs, wide chest, large loins, large abdomen, large feed intake, strong physique, and handsome appearance. In line with the requirements for healthy, high-yield and stable production of dairy animals. The breeding site for lactating ewes should not be too far, generally not more than 2.5 kilometers, otherwise it will affect the milk production due to physical exertion.
