The help of B-ultrasound for sheep to the slaughter of mutton sheep

March 30 , 2023

At present, sheep farms and sheep farmers often choose two types of fattening flocks, one is the eliminated male and ewe sheep, and the other is the non-backup male and ewe sheep after weaning.

Choose different types of fattening sheep


The weight gain effect and feed remuneration of the sheep are different in different growth and development stages. Before fattening, it is best to use B-ultrasound to observe the backfat thickness and other indicators for judgment. Select the eliminated adult rams and ewes for fattening. Since the body shape of the sheep has been finalized, the main task of the fattening at this time is to feed and fatten and improve the quality of the meat. Generally, short-term fattening is used for 1-2 months, and the fattened mutton sheep reach the middle-to-high level. If the fattening time is too long, not only the feed remuneration will be reduced, but the feeding cost will be increased, and when the sheep are checked with B-ultrasound, it will be found that the backfat of the sheep is too thick. On the contrary, it will make the meat thicker, increase the taste, and reduce the quality of the meat.


Choose non-backup rams and ewes after weaning for fattening, because the sheep are in a vigorous period of weight gain. Therefore, for this type of sheep fattening, the diet should be reasonably prepared according to the feeding standards of different growth and development stages, so as to meet the nutritional needs of mutton sheep fattening and gaining weight , The sheep are checked with B-ultrasound, and the fattening mutton sheep can be released when they reach the middle-to-high body condition, so as to ensure the ideal feed remuneration and ideal carcass meat quality.


Sheep are herbivorous livestock with a wide source of feed, and there are many types of feed that can be fed to sheep. Therefore, sheep farms and sheep farmers should regularly use sheep feed in addition to feeding mixed concentrates to increase fat and maintain fat. B-ultrasound checks the thickness of backfat, and according to needs, do everything possible to expand feed resources to ensure relatively comprehensive nutrition. Good palatability, easy to digest, and low-cost high-quality green feed are supplied in a balanced supply all year round. And use this to replace part of the concentrate, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing the cost of mutton sheep breeding.
