A few days ago, he spoke to a few sheep-herding friends, and a freshman brother lamented that his family was the most powerful of the sheep, and that was suddenly gone the other day. The day before was fine, and the day after the herds came back, she found something wrong, she had a bad breath, spitted on her mouth and couldn't save her. Veterinary look, heat。
It's a shame to hear that, but it's a wake-up call for all of our sheep. We always feel that the sheep are covered in hair and skin, but they are particularly afraid of heat, especially when it comes to the three-voltage season. Sheep heat, if you say it's white, can't spread out, causing central nervous disorders. Light falls, influence breeds, and heavy is deadly。
Today we're not going to fix those complex theories, but we're going to combine the pits that i've stepped on all these years, the lessons i've learned, and how we're going to get the sheep out of the summer。
Summer's cool. It's actually a 3d war with hot
A lot of people think heat-proofing is more water than it is. I've put together five of the most common effective measures, and these five things are done
Building a “summer resort” — ventilation in the retrofitting environment is a top priority: summer coops are the most boring. If you feel like you're sweating as soon as you get inside, the sheep is suffering inside. Great humidity in the south, with particular attention. When building new circles, consideration could be given to lifting the circle and using the air convection to form a “chamber”. The roof, if it is a coloured steel tile, is extremely hot, and it is best to lay a layer of straw, straw or sunnet on top of the balconies, without underestimating this layer of “grass hat”, which can isolate most of thermal radiation. Avoid direct sunlight: the sun hits the sheep, it's an open barbecue. In addition to planting vines or trees around the coop, sunnets are the most immediate option. It should be noted, however, that there is a method of cooling known as “water curtains”, which, although highly effective, are too wet and sheep prefer to collide, and that high temperatures and humidity tend to breed bacteria, skin diseases and foot-and-mouth diseases, with caution in the south. Don't let them "grow up" -- there's a habit of scientific control of density sheep, and the heat is crowded together, and it's probably in nature that they feel secure. But it was fatal in the summer. And think of it, in the heat of day, a dozen sheep are squeezed into the corner, and the temperature is several degrees higher than elsewhere. Once they are found, they must be disassembled, driven and dispersed, even if they are free. Adjusting “time off” — the strategy of grazing is to get the sheep out at noon, which is not grazing, but “drying”. The summer rancher is called "be home early, home late." in the morning, when the sun starts to get hot (about 9-10 o'clock), let the sheep eat. We'll go out in the afternoon when the heat's out. Try to find the slopes, shaded pastures. If conditions permit, the practice of “night pasture”, i. E. When the night is cool, allows the sheep to rest in circles during the day, is particularly effective. Turning water into “continuing soup” — drinking water and showering summer water are the lives of sheep. Remember one number: at least four times a day. In particular, they must be filled before grazing and after returning. When sweaty, you add salt to the water, as if you were drinking light water, and you can quickly replenish electrolyte. Taking a bath for the sheep is the best way to cool. In the absence of a bath, water is sprayed on the sheep with sprayers or pipes at the height of the day, especially on the head, neck and stomach, when the water evaporates and the amount of heat taken is alarming. But remember, the place where the water is sprayed is better ventilated, so that it is not washed and suffocated in a wet and hot environment. Being a scout — it's early to find out that saving sheep doesn't talk, and it's up to us to watch. Which signals are dangerous alarms? (c) detachment from the herd: everyone is resting on grass, and one sheep is hiding in the corner. Respiration is fast: it's very heavy, like a windbox, and even open up and breathe. Hot hands: feel the root of the ear or inside the thigh, feel hot. The pace is unstable: walking like drunk. Once found, don't hesitate, it's a race with death。
The sheep are human: the "temperature" and "distance" outside the books
I'd rather talk to you about the doorway behind this. A lot of people think sheep are enough, not really. These five measures, ostensibly technical in nature, are a “emotional connection” and “management wisdom” between life as we do sheep。
The first is the realization that the technology is so hard that it's afraid of “yes”。
In terms of the curtain cooling, it's really good in theory. But why should i remind you to be cautious? Because many times, we are prone to technological superstition. Just to see it cools by five degrees, but ignores the fact that it brings about 90% humidity. The sheep are not machines. It's a living organism. In the southern “sauna”, warmer and wetter, the heat of the sheep is more insulated, and it feels like people are covered in cotton and steamed sauna, and that tastes worse than simple dry heat. This makes me understand that any technology must be tested in a specific environment and must not be rigid. Goats, look at the sky, look at the ground, look at your sheep。
The second lesson: the essence of management is to read the "subtext" of animals。
The issue of the sheep-love pile. Our common understanding is that they're stupid, and the heat is crowded together. But have you thought of another possibility? When sheep feel that the environment is not right (e. G. Mosquitoes, sources of shock, or simply insecurity), their first reaction is convergence. If at this point we simply push them out of the way, without thinking about why they are composing, the problem may not be solved. It's probably cooped up because there's wind in the circle, they want to hide, or it's too loud out there, they want to be bold. A true manager can read their subtext from every little move of a sheep: “i'm thirsty”, “i'm too hot” and “i feel unsafe”。
The third lesson is that the highest point in sheep farming is to know “piety” and “accompaniment”。
The summer bathing of sheep, salt water, and the night raising of them in the middle of the night are actually exhausting. But it is these cumbersome, daily care that has created a delicate trust between us and the sheep. You know which sheep have a bad appetite, which one has a stubborn temper, which one is the leader。
When you're testing the heat of a heat sheep with your hands, you're not running a “culture unit”, but trying to save a life that depends on you. When you look in the circle in the middle of the night, you find them lying in peace, without breathing, and the sense of the moment is that there is no economic gain。
So, preventing heat in the sheep is not only due to these measures, but also to our fear of life and the “dickness” who is willing to look down and think. Take the sheep as your companions in the earth, and be good to him, and live well, and your harvest will be better. That's all there is to it。
