First, the preparation of the office
1. **Housing Preparation**: The sheep barn should be located in a high, dry, well-ventilated, and well-drained area. It should be at least 20 cm above ground level to prevent water accumulation. Each sheep should have about 1 to 2 square meters of space inside the barn, with an additional 3 to 4 square meters for outdoor grazing. In rice fields, it's recommended to install feeding troughs both inside the barn and in the outdoor areas. These can be made from cement or wood. Cement troughs are ideal for drinking water, while wooden ones are more portable and can be customized in length based on the number of sheep and practical needs, ensuring ease of use, cleaning, and disinfection.
2. **Forage Preparation**: In areas where grazing is the main feeding method, the stocking rate varies depending on the terrain. In flat areas, one adult sheep can be raised per 0.0667 hectares, while in hilly regions, this increases to about 0.2 hectares per adult sheep. For areas with limited grazing land, between 0.334 and 0.667 hectares can support one adult sheep. By improving grasslands, planting high-quality pasture, and harvesting forage grass, the carrying capacity can be increased by over 100%. In areas where feeding is the primary method, it’s essential to thoroughly check the forage supply before starting the farm. To reduce costs, farmers can store raw materials like peanut vines, sweet potato leaves, and corn stalks.
3. **Water Supply Preparation**: When selecting a site for the sheep barn, the availability of clean water is crucial. If there is no tap water, the quality and adequacy of groundwater must be evaluated. Clean, safe water is not only important for the health of the sheep but also a key factor in the success of the farm.
4. **Choosing the Number of Sheep**: The initial number of sheep depends on the availability of housing, forage, and labor. If conditions are favorable, starting with 200 to 500 sheep is possible. However, most small-scale farmers begin with a smaller flock, usually around 30 to 50 head, to manage better and ensure proper care.
5. **Timely Vaccination and Deworming**: Once the sheep are introduced from another location, they should be quarantined for about a month to observe their health. During this time, they should not be mixed with the existing flock. It's important to avoid buying sheep from other areas unless absolutely necessary. After the quarantine period, when the flock is stable and healthy, vaccination should be done to boost their immunity. Additionally, deworming should be carried out thoroughly before introducing them to the main herd.
6. **Observation and Prompt Action**: After transportation, sheep may experience stress due to climate changes, new feeding routines, or unfamiliar surroundings. Symptoms such as colds, pneumonia, mouth ulcers, diarrhea, or even miscarriages may occur. Therefore, continuous observation is necessary, and timely treatment should be provided. Farmers and staff should be familiar with the behavior of the sheep and monitor changes in eating habits, movement, mental state, and waste. Maintaining cleanliness in the pens and ensuring proper feeding and management are also vital to maintaining a healthy flock.
