First, pregnant ewes
During the first 30 days after a ewe becomes pregnant, it's important to maintain stable feeding conditions and avoid frequent changes in diet. For goats that have been naturally bred, it's recommended to allow them to interact with rams or view them through a fence between 18 to 25 days post-mating to confirm pregnancy. Once confirmed, provide a balanced and nutritious diet to ensure the ewe remains healthy and active. This helps her maintain good physical condition while supporting the growth of the fetus. In the last month of pregnancy, gradually increase the nutritional level to help the ewe store more energy for milk production. However, avoid overfeeding, as excessive weight gain can reduce milk yield later on. Instead, focus on high-quality, well-balanced feeds rather than high-energy options.
Second, lamb care
(a) The early period. Within the first 10 days after birth, lambs should receive colostrum, which is rich in nutrients and antibodies that boost their immune system. The amount of colostrum should be at least 1/5 of the lamb’s body weight. If the mother cannot feed properly, hand-feeding or using a bottle is an alternative. Lambs under 6 days old can still nurse from the ewe if needed. (b) The feeding phase. After 10 days, lambs can start consuming whole milk, continuing until about 40 days of age. Provide enough milk to keep them full, and introduce small amounts of easily digestible, high-quality concentrates and hay to support digestive development. (c) The milk and forage stage. From day 41 to 80, lambs should have access to milk, grass, and grain mixtures. Offer high-quality legume hay, along with grains like barley, oats, corn, bran, and soybean meal. (d) Weaning period. Between day 81 and 120, lambs should transition to mainly forage. If quality hay and by-products are available, they can be weaned as early as 90 days without affecting their growth or health.
Third, lactating ewes
Lactating ewes are typically kept indoors and require a carefully balanced diet. For each kilogram of milk produced daily, provide 5 kg of fresh grass or sweet potato vines during summer and autumn, plus 0.25 kg of corn flour, 5 g of bone meal, and 10 g of salt. Ensure they have access to clean water. In winter and spring, offer 2 kg of high-quality hay or dried sweet potato vines, peanut vines, or soybean pods, along with 300 g of corn flour, 5 g of bone meal, and 10 g of salt. Warm water should always be available. As milk production increases, adjust the concentrate accordingly. Ewes producing 1.5 to 2.5 kg of milk per day should receive 0.7 kg of corn flour, while those producing 3 to 3.5 kg need 1 kg of corn flour. Keep male and female sheep in separate groups and allow them to graze for 2 to 3 hours daily. Encourage exercise and sun exposure, and maintain a clean, hygienic environment in the sheep house.
