The advantage of feeding sheep with distiller's gra
The advantage of feeding sheep with distiller's grains is that they can absorb nutrients quickly. Distiller's grains are not only rich in crude protein and crude fat, but also contain high mineral content. The disadvantage is that feeding them as the main raw materials will lead to sheep rickets. In fact, distiller's grains are not real distiller's grains, because they are the filter residue directly obtained by malting filtration in wineries. When using distiller's grains, you should feed them with corn flour, bran and soybean meal.
First, the advantages and disadvantages of feeding sheep with distiller's grains
The advantage of feeding sheep with distiller's grains is that it absorbs nutrients quickly, because distiller's grains are not only rich in crude protein and crude fat, but also high in mineral content, which is a very high-quality feed resource. The disadvantage is that if it is fed as the main ingredient, it will lead to sheep rickets. If distiller's grains are directly used as feed for livestock, the protein inside cannot be transformed, and it is difficult to be absorbed and utilized.
2. Distiller's grains are not real distillers' grains. They are the filter residues directly obtained by maltose filtration in wineries without brewing and fermentation. Therefore, distiller's grains have high energy and rich nutrition, but because of this, distiller's grains are also prone to deterioration and rancidity. Generally, fresh distillers grains must be fermented and sealed as soon as possible.
3. When used, distiller's grains should be fed together with corn flour, bran and soybean meal. Or mixed with corn stalks in a certain proportion to make silage for feeding. Because the water content in distiller's grains is relatively high, it is not easy to preserve. If you buy a large amount of distiller's grains, you can dry them or dry them to avoid mildew and deterioration.
Second, is it better to feed the sheep with distiller's grains or tofu residue?
1, distiller's grains and bean dregs have the same effect on sheep. Distiller's grains and bean dregs are good feed for sheep, but they can't be directly fed to sheep. Because bean dregs contain anti-nutritional factors, it will seriously affect the absorption and utilization of bean dregs protein in sheep, leading to diarrhea and no meat growth in sheep. Distiller's grains have poor palatability, short shelf life and unreasonable nutritional structure, which are difficult for ordinary sheep to digest and absorb.
2. Sheep prefer to eat grass and smell it before eating. Generally, you don't eat contaminated and trampled grass. There are also many grasses suitable for sheep, such as Chinese milk vetch, clover and alfalfa. The grass for the sheep must be fresh and tender, and the yellow grass should not be given to the sheep, because there is no nutrition.
3. When feeding the sheep straw, you can use the straw cutter to cut the straw into small pieces of about 2-3cm, and then add it to the trough for the sheep to eat. Or use a pulverizer to pulverize the straw into floc, and then add a proper amount of crushed corn and bran to feed. It can also be crushed into granules, which can better improve the palatability of straw.
