What Equipment Do Small Sheep Farms Need?

Since we want to set up a small and medium-sized farm, it must have a certain scale, and the requirements for equipment and management are higher than that of ordinary farmers. What equipment do we need in the early stage?

The equipment of the farm mainly includes: forage grass, feed storage, processing equipment, artificial insemination equipment, veterinary diagnosis and treatment equipment, feeding trough, drinking water equipment, office equipment, medicated bath equipment, fence equipment, weighing equipment, transportation equipment, slaughtering, segmentation , storage equipment, etc.

Mobile Feeding Machine

1. To keep the sheep house clean and hygienic, we need to purchase sheep beds, manure scrapers, and automatic drinking water equipment.

Sheep bed: It can separate the sheep from the feces and urine, prevent the sheep from trampling and lying on the feces and urine, and ensure that the sheep's body surface is clean and hygienic. It is beneficial to control the temperature, humidity and air environment of the sheep house, and keep the environment of the sheep house warm in winter and cool in summer, dry and comfortable.

Raising sheep on high beds, sheep are kept in sheep beds, house feeding or semi house feeding, which is convenient for production and operation management such as feeding supplementary feeding, cleaning and disinfection, sanitation and epidemic prevention, and group feeding, which is conducive to the implementation of standardized large-scale breeding. It is more conducive to disease prevention and control and reduces the occurrence of diseases. Many diseases are transmitted through fecal and urine pollution, such as Escherichia coli diarrhea, foot rot, parasitic diseases and other diseases are related to fecal and urine pollution.

Manure scraping machine: It can complete the sheepfold cleaning work faster and better. It takes 2 hours to clean the sheepfold by manual cleaning. The manure scraper can complete the work in only 10 minutes, which can save labor and improve efficiency.

Automatic drinking water equipment: water saving, sanitation, can effectively prevent water pollution and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

2. Shredding machine, pulverizer, mixer

Grass cutter: It is mainly used for cutting all kinds of roughage, such as corn stalks, straw, various pastures, etc.

Pulverizer: It is mainly used to pulverize all kinds of concentrated feed and roughage, such as concentrated corn, roughage soybean straw, peanut seedlings, etc.

Mixer: It is mainly used to mix and stir various feeds evenly, so that the nutrition of the sheep's feed is balanced, which is more conducive to the growth of the sheep. The traditional manual mixing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the mixing is uneven.

3. Feeding machine

Feeding carts are essential equipment for sheep farms. It can be replaced by an electric tricycle, or you can buy a professional feeding car, or you can use a tricycle. The characteristics of the feeding car are low price, flexible and convenient use. The use of feeding carts can greatly save manpower.

4. Other equipment

In addition to the above equipment, some other equipment can also be prepared according to the actual situation and economic situation, such as disinfection machines, artificial insemination equipment, veterinary equipment, etc.

In short, price and practicality must be considered when choosing sheep raising equipment.
