Coping Strategies for Alpine Merino Lamb Management

Abstract:

Alpine Merino sheep have unique adaptability to arid and cold climate conditions. They were bred at the Gansu Sheep Breeding Technology Promotion Station in Huangcheng Town, Sunan County, Gansu Province, which is located in the alpine pastoral area. This is the first nationallevel finewool sheep breed in Gansu Province. The feeding and management of Alpine Merino sheep at each stage is of great significance to its lifelong development. This directly affects the production performance and reproductive performance of sheep, especially in the management stage of Alpine Merino lambs. If the feeding management is not good at this stage, and all links are not in place, this will definitely cause greater economic losses to the majority of farmers, herdsmen and breeding enterprises. Through years of feeding and management, the author has summed up some experience and practices in the feeding and management of Alpine Merino lambs. This has achieved certain results for the reference of the majority of herdsmen and breeding enterprises.
