PIONERPRODUKT .by continues to publish videos from the AgroExpedition “Agriculture of Kazakhstan”. In this video we will show a flock of Kazakh rough-haired breeds grazing on winter pastures and find out what they eat when there is sand around!
We are looking at a first-class flock of 850 HEAD of Kazakh rough-wool sheep. When slaughtered, these lambs weighed 37 kg at 4 months of age. live weight. All sheep are in excellent condition and well-fed for wintering.
Sheep are kept on winter pastures until the month of May, until the lambing campaign ends. For more comfortable keeping in winter, open sheds are built for sheep, which are cleared of snow and blizzards, while Oken Shabdanbekovich notes that in order to maintain good HEALTH, sheep must be in a natural environment, which means outside. However, the death of livestock is inevitable; last winter the death rate was no more than 1-2%. And this despite the fact that the sheep were brought from another region of Kazakhstan, and they went through a period of adaptation.
At night, in order to protect the flock from wolves, the entire livestock is driven into the base.
Despite the fact that at first glance the vegetation in the sands is worse than in the foothills, the nutritional value of the plants is higher, which allows the sheep to receive all the necessary nutrients. In order to pluck the lowest, and therefore most nutritious, plants, sheep have a very mobile lower lip, and it is on the lower jaw that sheep have teeth.
The ewes of this flock were instrumentally inseminated with the seed of Bluetexel rams, this allows to improve the MEAT qualities of the breed, increase the meat yield, reduce the fat tail and add marbling to the meat.
