Sheep - animals quite hardy and undemanding.In addition, they are mobile and light, able to graze on the slopes of ravines, in the foothills, in the semi-desert - where cattle could not pass.Content and sheep breeding is not difficult.It would be the hay in the winter, and in summer - pastures.In this case it does not require costly construction and the enormous costs of furnishing.
Sheep, undoubtedly profitable business.Meat and wool in great demand.As the productivity of animals are divided into 3 groups: fine-wool (thin hairs, feather), polutonkorunnyh (wool uniform, but not so fine) and coarse wool (for meat and sheep).From the set of coarse wool breeds preferable, perhaps, sheep breeding Romanov breed.
They are quite fertile: Unlike other breeds, bringing one lamb (maximum of two) Romanov give birth to five or even six, and seven lambs.Sheep of this breed is very advantageous also because of the high procurement prices of sheepskin (other breeds cost is much lower).
man who saw a flock of sheep, can not deny that these animals seem meek and defenseless.There were times when the whole herd has carved a wolf.Perhaps of all the livestock can not fend for themselves only sheep.Breeding these animals require constant supervision.Nowhere is explained very poor eyesight.That is why it is so highly developed in sheep proverbial herd: where there is one, there are other.The reason is due to poor vision and the inability to find their way home.So better to herd sheep with a goat, which is well-versed in the field.On the one hand, such a well-developed herd instinct does not allow individuals to get lost, and with another - significantly complicates the care of these animals.
live sheep to 25 years.But manufacturers and breeder kept on the force for eight years.Exceptions are allowed with an outstanding productivity.The only problem is that the sheep are quickly erased teeth and it is difficult to chew gum (especially if they graze on sandy and stony soils).This is another advantage of the view that the sheep breeding Romanov breed the most profitable: the female time to leave five times more offspring than others.Their children will multiply this number by another five.
Benefit easy to find: in the age of six months the female is ready for gestation and birth (another plus - ripening).She gave birth twice a year (from two to seven, while the average - five lambs).Thus, for the year from one female, you get another 10 individuals.For five years, respectively, 50. But if you leave out the offspring of females for breeding, the number of heads will increase many times already this year.The females of other species "cause" no more than two children, and mature later.The difference is obvious.To put these figures in percentage considering the statistics, most breeds fertility was 120% and Romanovsky - 300%.Awesome, right?
During lactation one sheep this species gives 200 liters of milk, containing 7% (or more) 6% fat and protein.The cow, for comparison, the content is two times lower.The well-developed udder basically two nipple, sometimes more (eg uterus, of course, a breast).
Individual pots Romanov breed even at moderate fattening age of six months up to 40 kg and the live weight - 90 kg (queens - 60).Of six types of pasture plants suits them 570 (for cattle only 50), so the sheep can find food even in those areas where there were grazing cows.In the food are: grass, chaff, straw, hay, shrubs, bark, moss and so forth.
Coat enables the breeding of sheep in a wide range of climatic conditions, as these animals have enviable adaptability to heat and cold.During the winter they can easily carry twenty below (must be dry litter).At the onset of heat react shedding fur (shedding).
Pride of domestic sheep and quickly gained recognition abroad.Today, Romanov breed is well known worldwide for its efficiency and endurance.
