Black goat breeding method

Black goats have strong adaptability, are easy to raise, grow and develop quickly, have good meat production and skin quality, have tender meat, delicious taste, little mutton smell, high nutritional value, and very good breeding benefits. Below I will introduce the black goat breeding method , let’s take a look.

1. Selection of enclosures

The pen for black goats should be built in a place with dry terrain, plenty of sunshine and good ventilation, from north to south, with enough space for activities. Each functional housing should be equipped with cold-proof and cooling facilities and have sufficient playground to ensure the activities of sheep.

2. Seed selection

Selecting excellent breeds is the basis of breeding black goats . Breeding ewes and rams with good production performance and genetic stability should be selected for breeding, while inbreeding should be avoided.

3. Feeding management

Use the method of divided feeding, feeding 2-3 times a day. Pay attention to timing and quantity to avoid overfeeding or underfeeding. Ensure the quality of feed and avoid feeding moldy or spoiled feed. During special stages such as breeding, anestrus, postpartum and lactation, feed should be carefully formulated to ensure that the nutritional intake is balanced and comprehensive. Make sure black goats have plenty of clean drinking water, replace it with fresh water every day, and clean drinking water facilities regularly to prevent bacterial growth.

4. Hygiene management

Keep the sheep house clean and dry, warm in winter and cool in summer, and clean up the manure regularly. Carry out epidemic prevention and regular deworming in spring and autumn. Do a good job of hygiene and disinfection at ordinary times, and sheep manure should be piled up and fermented before use.

5. Reproduction management

Black goats reach sexual maturity early. Generally, ewes reach sexual maturity at 4 to 6 months old and begin mating for the first time at 8 to 10 months old. During breeding, pay attention to record the estrus cycle of the ewe to ensure timely breeding. Strengthen the care of pregnant ewes to ensure smooth delivery. It is necessary to do a good job in the management of pregnant ewes, provide them with a good feeding environment and nutritional supply, and ensure the health of the ewes and the growth and development of the lambs.

6. Disease prevention

Disinfect and clean the sheep house regularly to maintain a clean environment. The selection and use of disinfectants should be appropriate to avoid harm to black goats. Black goats should be vaccinated regularly to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases. The choice of vaccine and the time of vaccination should be determined according to the local epidemic situation and the growth of black goats.

The above is an introduction to the black goat breeding method. When breeding black goats, you can also organically combine free-range and captive breeding. You can keep them in captivity during the rainy season and the low temperature season in winter, and let them roam free in other seasons.
