Early Weaning Techniques and Significance of Guizhou Black Sheep
Guizhou black goat has a high market value,but the industry development is relatively slow,its mutton can not meet the growth of market demand.Early weaning of lambs can shorten the breeding cycle of ewe,increase the number of annual breeding,lay a good physiological foundation for early fattening of lambs,improve the rate of stocking and commodity rate,and enhance the breeding efficiency.Early weaning of lambs and early isolation of ewes and lambs are conducive to the recovery of ewes'body condition and regulation of hormone levels,shortening the idle period and increasing the number of annual breeding times,which can effectively solve the problems of low reproductive utilization rate and fewer lambing of ewes caused by the current breeding method of Guizhou black goats with mother's lactation.This paper briefly describes the market prospect and breeding status of Guizhou black goats,the technical points such as selection of early weaning time,mode,feeding training,disease prevention and control of lambs,and the significance of implementing early weaning of lambs,so as to provide theoretical basis for the high-quality development of Guizhou black goats.
