PIONERPRODUKT .by continues to publish videos from the AgroExpedition “Agriculture of Kazakhstan”. In this video we will look at Kazakh rough-wool sheep with white markings on the HEAD, which were artificially inseminated with a Zvartbles ram.
Basically, this flock contains ewes that will have their second lambing, but this flock also contains ewes with white spots on the head, which appear in other flocks.
The use of semen from Zvartbles breeding rams is due to the fact that Zvartbles also have white markings on the head and muzzle. In addition to external similarity, such insemination results in an almost complete absence of fat tail in the offspring, due to the redistribution of the meat mass.
The average live weight of ewes at the time of filming was 78-80 kg, and of ewes 65-68 kg. The yield of meat from the carcass is up to 55%. As for wool, there is no demand for it, but with government support the situation may change.
To help the shepherds, there are guard dogs on the pasture that sense the wolf from afar, which allows the shepherd to take timely measures to preserve the sheep population. In addition, they help during hauls, which can reach up to 200 kilometers and last about a week.
Places for spending the night during the crossings are determined in advance, the main condition is the availability of drinking water, these can be lakes or springs, and sometimes there are artesian wells at the sites.
