How to raise the cashmere production of a group of cashmere goats
1. Try to select purebred or heterotic sheep in the group. 2. In general, rams and rams produce the highest amount of cashmere, followed by young sheep, and have the lowest yield of ewes. Therefore, rams should occupy a properly high proportion in the group structure. 3. After entering the winter and spring, strengthen the feeding and management of cashmere sheep, pay attention to feeding compound feed, silage, etc., so that the protein feed in the diet should not be less than 13%, crude fiber not less than 20%. Attention should be paid to the supplementation of calcium, phosphorus, and sulfur in minerals, especially sulfur is an indispensable substance that constitutes villous hair. Sufficient sulfur plays an important role in improving the yield and quality of villous hair. 4. Change feeding methods in a timely manner. After entering the winter in the pastoral areas, most of the sheep will be housed in captivity when they are conceived. After the end of spring, the lambs will be produced after the end of spring, combed and then velvet, and then transferred to grazing. This will prevent cashmere velvet from being hung up. Improve the survival rate of lambs. 5. The regular medicinal bath to prevent ectoparasitosis (such as rickets) is also one of the necessary measures to increase the production of cashmere.
