In winter, because the temperature is low, if you drink cold water to the sheep, or even slush water, the sheep do not want to drink water, which will cause the sheep to have insufficient drinking water. This not only slows down the digestive process of the sheep's feed, impedes metabolism in the body, and reduces sensation, but also causes food stagnation or blinds. Therefore, it is necessary to create water conditions for the sheep in production to ensure adequate drinking water.
First, pay attention to the temperature of drinking water. After the water enters the sheep body, if the temperature of the water is lower than the body temperature of the sheep, the water must absorb the heat converted from the feed itself by the feed and reach a temperature consistent with the body temperature. This will reduce the utilization of the feed. Therefore, the temperature of the sheep's drinking water in the winter and spring season is preferably 20 °C ~ 30 °C.
Second, pay attention to the form of drinking water. In order to promote the sheep to drink more water and drink enough water, the sheep should be given concentrated drinking water. The method is: first use the boiling water to open the fine material, stir evenly, make it into a paste, and then on a certain amount of cold water, stir evenly to drink sheep. The amount of drinking water The sheep consumes 1 kilogram of dry matter and needs 3 to 5 kilograms of water. Therefore, in winter and spring, depending on the situation of sheep feeding on forage grass, the sheep should drink 3 to 5 times of dry matter quality water.
Third, pay attention to drinking time. Fasting drink sheep, if the water temperature is low, the sheep's body temperature will drop suddenly, easy to make the sheep a cold fever, pregnant ewes fasting drink cold water easy to abortion. In the production, sheep should be fed after feeding the grass for 1 hour. This will also allow the water and forage to be thoroughly mixed in the rumen of the sheep, aiding digestion.
Fourth, pay attention to the number of drinking water. Drinking water in production is preferred in the morning and evening twice. Drink at least once if the conditions are not met, but pay attention to drink enough to meet the sheep's need for water.
