Use of sheep tail Under traditional grazing conditions, the sheep's tail acts as a "grain storehouse." In pasture-rich summers, the grazing sheep eat only full, and it replaces the extra nutrients other than the body's needs into fat, and stores them in the tail. When the green and yellow are not connected, it can rely on the fat in the tail to survive famine; When the winter comes and the land is cold and hay and it is difficult to find food, it takes out the grain from the tail's "grain store" until it is depleted. After the sheep are only bred, especially the livestock and animal husbandry technical departments are vigorously promoting the improvement of mutton sheep and the comprehensive breeding techniques of mutton sheep. The sheep can evenly eat nutritious rations and forage grass every day, and no longer needs the “grain store†of the tail. It also greatly shortens the time for fattening slaughter, improves the quality of lamb, and increases the income of sheep farmers. The benefits of lamb tailing 1. Ewes are easy to mate after they grow up, especially hybrid sheep imported with improved domestic and foreign varieties. Such as the Suffolk Small Tail Han sheep, Dorset Small Tail Han sheep, Teksal Small Tail Han sheep, the hybrid generation of small Tail Han Tan Tan sheep and hybrid second generation sheep only after the tail, more convenient artificial insemination. 2. Easy to fatten, whether it is Tan sheep or modified hybrid generation, hybrid second generation sheep are generally the first to fill the tail fat, and then only the body of the meat, after the end of the tail will avoid this unfavorable factor. 3 can improve the quality of lamb, lambs after breaking the tail can improve the subcutaneous fat and intermuscular fat content, improve the quality of lamb, reduce the smell of lamb. 4. Feces can be avoided. Lamb breaking method Lamb breaking time Lambs can be tailed at 2 to 21 days of age, but are suitable for 2 days to 7 days of age. It's best to do it on a sunny day. (1) Ligation. Use elastic rubber bands, such as worn-out false vaginal tubes, bicycle inner tubes, etc., cut into aprons with a diameter of 0.5 cm to 1 cm. In the middle of the third and fourth tail vertebrae, push the skin to the upper end by hand. After that, it can be tightly wrapped with aprons. After about 10 days, the lamb gradually shrinks and falls off naturally (do not cut it to prevent tetanus infection). The lamb, whose tail had just been put on a rubber band, would initially be somewhat uncomfortable, neither stand nor lie, but this irritability could pass in a few days and the tail would fall off naturally after 10 days. There was nothing for the lamb. hurt. This method is simple, easy to bleed, fast healing, and effective. (2) Fast knife method. First tie the tail with a string, cut off the flow of blood, and then use a sharp knife cut off from the tail 4 cm to 5 cm, the wound with gauze, cotton dressing, so as to avoid infection or frostbite. In the afternoon, the string of the tail root was untied to allow the blood to circulate. Generally, after 7 days to 10 days, the wound will heal. (3) heat breaking method. Can be used with a tail spatula or a tail piercing pliers. When the tail is cut off with a broken tail shovel, two 20 cm square boards must be prepared first. Underneath a piece of wood, a half-moon-shaped notch is dug. The two sides of the board are nailed with iron sheet, and the other two are nailed with iron sheet. In operation, one person fixes the sheep, holds the lamb's limbs with both hands, sticks the back of the lamb to the fixed person's chest, and allows the lamb to sit on a wooden board. The operator used a board with a crescent-shaped notch and pressed the tail tightly between the third and fourth tails of the tail. Use a hot tail-squeeze scoop to press the block slightly and press down forcefully. The speed of cutting should not be too swift. If there is bleeding, you can use hot scalding and then scald, then use iodine to disinfect. The above three kinds of tail-breaking methods, the author recommends the first method, that is economical and affordable, simple and easy, suitable for scale sheep farm promotion.
