Application and Effect Analysis of Standardized Breeding Management Techniques for Tibetan Sheep in Mado County
This study aims to improve the breeding conditions of Tibetan sheep in Mado County,located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,by introducing standardized breeding management techniques to enhance production per-formance and breeding efficiency.The study employed a combination of grazing and supplemental feeding,compa-ring the outcomes with those of a natural grazing group.Results show that the standardized breeding group main-tained more stable body weights,with a weight reduction of 6.50%from December to the following March,com-pared to an 11.04%reduction in the natural grazing group.Additionally,the adult sheep mortality rate in the standardized group was 2.25%,significantly lower than the 4.27%observed in the natural grazing group.In terms of reproductive performance,the primiparous ewes had a reproduction rate of 91.67%,which was 24.18 percent-age points higher than the natural grazing group,and the multiparous ewes had a reproduction rate of 98.34%,5.07 percentage points higher than the natural grazing group.Overall,the standardized breeding approach im-proved the stability of sheep body weight,reduced mortality rates,and significantly enhanced reproductive perform-ance,providing scientific evidence and practical guidance for the sustainable development of local animal husbandry.
