Pigs must be eaten well before they can grow meat, chickens must be eaten well before they can lay eggs, and people must be eaten well before they can have the strength to lose weight... Our dairy goats are no exception. The diet of sheep and sheep has been scientifically planned and adjusted according to age and seasonal changes, which is closely related to the types and content of nutrients in goat milk. Today, let’s take a brief look at the recipes of Sheep Milk Legend, what are the details in the recipes of Sheep and Sheep.
" sheep eat grass " is indeed common sense, but when it comes to our ranch, this statement is neither specific nor comprehensive enough. A high-quality dairy sheep does not eat all kinds of grass, nor does it only eat "grass". We know that goat milk has a rich nutritional content, and it is characterized by the high content of whey protein , the king of protein . In order to increase the protein content of goat milk, dairy goats should be provided with sufficient high-protein legume forage, such as alfalfa, rumex , etc.
Here we also mention an unexpected pastoral "grass" - mulberry leaves . In our impression, mulberry leaves are the food of silkworms in the silk industry. In fact, it is also the "upstart" of feed used in dairy goat breeding in my country. The protein content of mulberry leaves is 80%-100% higher than that of grass forage , which is rich in nutrients and has a high digestibility. Sheep only like to eat; fresh mulberry leaves also help increase the content of nutrients such as folic acid in goat milk, and further improve the nutritional value of goat milk. In addition, studies have shown that adding mulberry leaves to the feed helps increase milk production. Therefore, some large dairy goat ranchs in Shaanxi Province in my country will plant mulberry , and use fresh mulberry leaves as high-quality feed.
Like humans, dairy goats need a rich variety of nutrients. Therefore, in addition to being a "staple food" forage, they also need to consume various concentrated feeds, such as corn, wheat, etc., which can provide rich carbohydrate , and wheat bran can provide vitamin B and phosphorus. In addition, wild herbivores will look for and lick natural salt ore , while dairy goats supplement trace elements through specially made "licking bricks". Some friends feel strange when they see sheep "eating bricks" when visiting the ranch. That is actually the sheep and sheep are eating salt.
Finally, for dairy goats, fresh green feed is more popular and provides comprehensive nutrition than stored feed. Therefore, a good sheep farm must be adjacent to the origin of high-quality forage , which is also an important criterion for choosing a milk source ranch for goat milk. After all, only by eating and drinking well can high-quality goat milk be produced.
