CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Pictures of sheep greenhouse construction (how much does a greenhouse cost per square meter)

1. How high should the sheep shed be built?

It depends on how you build it. Using local materials can save costs! Sheep sheds are generally built in a single slope style, with a front height of 2.0 meters to 2.5 meters, a rear height of 1.7 meters to 2.0 meters, and a depth of 4 meters to 5 meters. The length can be determined according to the number of sheep to be accommodated. The requirements in other aspects are the same as those of sheep houses. The average cost per square meter is about 80-100 yuan! The specific price is subject to your local price!

How to build a sheep shed?

First, you need to prepare all the materials, including plastic, nails, bamboo strips, wooden stakes, etc. After preparing these materials, you can proceed to the next step.

Then start looking for a suitable place and dig four holes. These four holes are mainly used to support the entire greenhouse, and then put the wooden stakes into them.

The second step is to use bamboo strips to build the roof. After the bamboo strips are built, they need to be fixed with nails so that they will not be blown down by strong winds and heavy rains.

The next step is to build a fence around the wood piles. After all, sheep are very strong, so building a fence around the wood piles can further strengthen the greenhouse.

Then the greenhouse is covered with plastic. Nails are also needed to prevent the plastic from being blown away by the wind, and it can also play a role in fixing it.

2. Dig four holes on the selected plot of land, and then put the wooden stakes into them. These four pits are mainly used to support the entire greenhouse, so they can be dug as deep as possible.

3. Use bamboo strips to build the ceiling. After the ceiling is built, it needs to be fixed with nails to prevent it from being blown down by strong winds and heavy rain.

4. Build a fence around the wooden stakes. Build a fence around the wooden stakes to further strengthen the sheep pen.

5. Cover the sheep pen with plastic. After the plastic is laid, nails need to be nailed in. This can not only fix it, but also prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

3. How should a sheep shed be built?

When we choose the terrain, we should choose an area with high and dry terrain and stable geology. And we need to ask the relevant departments about the highest flood line in history. Our site must be higher than this height to prevent huge losses caused by natural disasters in the future. It is best to have a slight slope to the east or south for drainage. The sheep house should be located on a higher terrain with good drainage. The most important thing is to be ventilated and dry. The lighting site should be sunny and leeward. We also need to avoid the wind outlet in which direction according to the region, sitting north and facing south, warm in winter and cool in summer! This ensures that our sheep will not be affected by cold, high temperature, cold and damp, which can also ensure our ventilation. The sheep farm should not be near the main road, but also in a place with convenient transportation. There is one thing we need to pay special attention to when choosing a sheep farm, that is the land area. If the area you choose to build the farm is not proportional to the number of sheep, if it is too small, we can still plant some green plants to purify the air. However, if the area is small and the number of sheep is large, can we not raise any or just squeeze them together? This is very detrimental to our productivity and the final economic benefits. Therefore, when choosing a site, we must consider the number of sheep, the required land area, the allocation of sheep houses and other issues.

1. Site Selection

When we choose a place to build a farm, the first thing we should consider is what kind of sheep we want to raise, such as breeding sheep or commercial sheep, and fully consider their production characteristics, feeding and management methods, and whether they are kept in a pen or free-range. We must fully consider the terrain, wind direction, local soil, water sources, and transportation. After considering and investigating clearly, we can start building the farm.

1: Terrain and wind direction

Some people think that building a sheep farm also needs to consider the terrain and wind direction? Isn't this nonsense? This is not nonsense at all. In terms of terrain, we must first choose a high and dry place with a low groundwater level, and it must be sunny and sheltered from the wind. A humid sheep farm is a breeding ground for bacteria, and this must not be taken lightly. In terms of terrain, we require open and neat, square sites are best, and too narrow and long sites are not conducive to management. The terrain does not require flatness, and a slight slope is best, but this slope does not require a large slope, just a little, about 1% of the slope is fine. The site should take advantage of the terrain and landforms, such as woodlands and valleys, which can be used as natural field barriers. The above choices are all to avoid turbid air and damp ground in the sheep farm. The sheep farm should be selected in a place with a high terrain with a south-facing slope of 1%~3%, a green wind facing the sun, good drainage, and dry ventilation. Avoid building a farm in low-lying waterlogged land, mountain torrents, and wind outlets in winter and spring.

The wind direction is also a point to pay attention to, because my country is so large, the environment and climate are very different between the north and the south. For example, the weather in the south is humid and hot, while in the north it is dry and cold. There is also a distinct monsoon, with southeast winds in summer and north winds in winter. Therefore, when we choose a site, we must choose a terrain that can be used to block the wind. The important point is to avoid the north wind in winter. When choosing a site, we should choose to build a house facing north to south or southeast. In some hot northern regions, we should also think of using the southeast wind to ventilate and cool the site in summer.

2: Soil and water sources

The soil we are talking about here is mainly the ground of the sheep farm. Sandy loam is the best. Sandy loam has two advantages. It has the air permeability and water permeability of sandy soil. It will not produce mud and water after raining. It can dry the sheep farm. Dryness is not easy to breed parasites and mosquitoes and flies. At the same time, it has the characteristics of large heat capacity of clay, which can effectively maintain stable soil temperature and maintain greening by planting trees. Therefore, sandy loam is the first choice of soil for sheep farms.

Water source is very important for sheep farms, and it is also an aspect that must be carefully considered when building a sheep farm. The water volume should be sufficient to meet the drinking water needs of people and sheep and other production water. The water quality should be good, and it is best to be directly drinkable without treatment. Therefore, we first consider groundwater or mountain spring water. Groundwater or spring water has been filtered through layers of soil, and the sealing is very good, with less chance of contamination, and there is no need to worry about hygiene.

3: Location and area

The location mentioned here mainly corresponds to transportation. It should be convenient for transportation but not directly close to the main road. For example, building a sheep farm directly next to the main road may seem convenient for transportation, but it will cause pollution to the sheep farm, and the sound of passing cars and people will also cause noise to the sheep, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of sheep. It is best to be about 500 meters away from the main road, with convenient power supply, far away from residential and factory areas, and try to keep the surrounding environment unpolluted, while also not affecting the surrounding environment.

The area is to consider how many sheep you want to raise and what the management method is. At the same time, the sheep area and the living area and future development should also be considered. It is best to leave room to prevent future expansion. Under normal circumstances, each sheep should be calculated based on 10 to 20 square meters. The area of ​​the breeding sheep farm should be appropriately larger, and the area of ​​commercial sheep can be lowered from the original standard. In short, breeding sheep need more space.

4. Adequate feed sources.

Especially for meat sheep and dairy sheep, which are mainly raised in stalls, the total amount of feed required is large, and sufficient feed sources must be available. First, the types and quantities of feed produced locally should be considered; second, the types and quantities of feed that can be purchased from nearby areas and other places should be considered. This should be calculated based on the number of sheep raised in the sheep farm.

2. Environmental sanitation protection of farms

Why should we protect the environment and sanitation of the sheep farm? The first point is to prevent our sheep farm from affecting the surrounding environment and sanitation, because this may cause the sheep to become diseased, and may also cause some people to retaliate secretly because of dissatisfaction. Then we should avoid external environmental pollution from causing harm to the sheep farm. Sheep themselves have many diseases, and if the environmental sanitation is not controlled, it is possible that the sheep will collectively get sick. Therefore, we must do a good job in protecting the sheep farm and the surrounding environment and form a benign and complementary ecosystem.

1: Treatment of sheep farm feces and sewage

As we all know, there is usually straw bedding in the sheep shed, and the sheep produce a lot of feces. We can collect these together, and the sheep feces will penetrate into the straw bedding. With good ventilation and temperature rise, it can be fermented and decomposed. The decomposed sheep feces has no odor, will not attract flies and mosquitoes, and will not produce pathogens and insect eggs at the source. This is what we call pollution-free organic fertilizer, which can be sold or used in your own fields. You can also collect these and ferment them to produce biogas, which can be used by yourself, and the waste is also utilized, which also saves some expenses.

Sewage is a point that needs to be paid special attention to. After the sewage with feces is separated and dissolved, the separated sediment can be used as fertilizer, and the clear water precipitated on it can be used to flush the sheep farm. In short, it is forbidden to discharge it randomly. Some sheep farms directly discharge these sewage to the outside, which not only causes huge pollution to the surrounding environment, but also makes their sheep farms surrounded by germs. It is of no benefit to the outside or the inside. Don't do this because of your laziness.

2: Green environment

Site greening is also very important. Planting some trees in the sheep farm can improve the air in the sheep farm, provide shade and absorb heat, reduce solar radiation, and generate wind to circulate air, which is conducive to summer heat relief. The purification function of trees is powerful, and they can also isolate dust and reduce the bacterial content in the air, which plays a vital role in the hygiene and epidemic prevention of the sheep farm.

3: Water source protection

The water source of the farm must be well protected and must not be polluted. This is a very important link. It is necessary to prevent the sewage generated by the sheep farm itself from leaking into the water source area. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent the sewage from the surrounding factories from infiltrating. Pay close attention to the water quality in order to meet the national drinking water standards.

1. Sheep House Site Selection and Layout

1. Location requirements

① Sheep sheds should be built in high terrain, south slope, sunny, well-drained, ventilated and dry places. A humid environment is not good for the reproduction, growth and disease prevention of sheep. It is not advisable to build sheds in low-lying waterlogged areas, mountain torrents, and winter wind outlets. The shed site should be far away from residential areas or other breeding livestock and poultry farms.

② Ensure grazing and forage supply. In the northern pastoral areas and agricultural and pastoral areas, there must be enough four-season pastures and grasslands, and in the south there can be rotational grazing grasslands. Regardless of the production system, there must be sufficient forage bases or forage sources.

③There must be sufficient clean water.

Sheep farming: How to manage large-scale sheep farms?

2. Sheep House Layout

Sheep farms should consider the layout of sheep houses. Usually, the location of living areas such as offices and houses should be considered. They should be high in terrain, well-drained, and able to see other houses in the farm. Transportation should be convenient, with passages in front and behind the houses. The wind direction should be good, and the living area should be arranged in the upwind direction. The orientation of the houses should be conducive to lighting or shading. The fattening farms of mutton sheep mainly include fattening sheep houses, sick sheep isolation houses, feed warehouses, feed processing workshops, veterinary rooms, manure storage tanks, etc. They should be reasonably laid out to facilitate production and disease prevention.

2. Sheep House Construction

Sheep have the biological characteristics of liking to roam, avoiding moisture, enduring cold and fearing stuffiness. In most areas, grazing is the main form of production management, and a combination of grazing and stall feeding is implemented for lambing in winter and spring and under severe climatic conditions.

1. Sheep House Building

① The construction site should be relatively high, ventilated and dry, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun. It should be close to grazing land, forage storage and clean water sources. It should be built downwind of the sheep farm living area and downstream of the natural water source.

② The sheep house should have enough area and height. When the sheep are mainly raised in a shed, there should also be enough playground. The area of ​​the sheep house should be based on the principle of keeping the air fresh and dry, and ensuring cold and warmth in winter and spring, and heatstroke prevention and cooling in summer. The height of the sheep house should not be less than 2.5 meters, and the area of ​​each sheep should be 0.5-2 square meters. The area of ​​the playground should not be less than twice the area of ​​the sheep house.

③ The doors, windows, floors and ventilation facilities of the sheep house should not only help to keep the house warm, dry, light, prevent heatstroke and remove harmful gases in the house, but also facilitate feeding operations. When feeding in large groups, the width of the door is generally 2-3 meters, the window area is generally 1/5 of the floor area, and the lower edge is 1.5 meters above the ground. The walls of the playground should be all or partly ventilated flower walls. Where conditions permit, air vents with regulating devices can be installed on the roof of the house to avoid the invasion of cold winds in winter and spring.

2. Sheep House Type

①Rectangular sheep shed

In areas where grazing is the main method, sheep spend the night in the open air and only rest in the shed in winter, spring and lambing season. They drink water and are fed on the playground. In areas where shed feeding is the main method, the shed should have fixed feeding troughs, hay racks and drinking troughs, which can also be set up on the playground. The layout of the shed can be single-row or double-row. The area of ​​the playground should be 3-5 times that of the shed, and there should be shade facilities.

② Shed combined with sheep house

This type of sheep shed is suitable for areas with warmer winters and springs. The wall of one side of the original sheep shed is used to build a sheep shed with walls on three sides and an open front.

③ Building-style sheep house

The characteristic is that when the climate is hot and humid in summer and autumn, sheep can live upstairs; in the cold winter and spring seasons, the downstairs can be used as a sheepfold and the upstairs can be used to store hay.

④ Agricultural film greenhouse sheep house

The characteristic is that the heat stored during the day and the heat produced by the sheep's own body can be used to increase the temperature in the house at night.

3. Commonly used equipment

1. Mother and baby pens

It is set up for ewes giving birth to lambs and isolating weak sheep. It is usually made of two fences connected by hinges. This movable wooden fence is unfolded at right angles in the corner of the sheep house and fixed to the wall of the sheep house. It can be enclosed into a 1.2m×1.5m mother-and-calf room for a ewe and her lamb. The number of mother-and-calf pens is generally 10-15% of the number of ewes.

2. Feeding trough, feeding rack, drinking trough

Feeding troughs and feeding racks are mainly used for feeding forage, feed or silage, and they are required to protect the forage from pollution and reduce waste. There are four types: mobile, hanging, fixed and combined. Drinking troughs can be made of iron sheets or cement, and should be easy to add water and clean.

3. Lamb feeding pen

Use multiple fences, panels or net pens to form a fence of sufficient area against the wall of the sheep house or feeding ground, insert a large gate between the pens that sheep cannot enter but lambs can enter and exit freely, and place a feeding trough inside.

4. Scales and sheep cages

In order to regularly weigh the sheep and grasp the feeding effect, the mutton farm should set up a small floor scale and install a rectangular sheep cage made of wood or steel plates on the scale. The sheep cage is generally 1.4 meters long, 0.6 meters wide, and about 1.0 meters high, with movable doors at both ends for sheep to enter and exit.

5. Grass circle

A hay circle should be built outside the sheep house with a fence or wire mesh to store supplementary feed or spare hay.

6. Movable grouping fence

In large and medium-sized mutton sheep farms, in order to improve the efficiency of sheep identification, grouping, vaccination, medicated bathing, deworming, etc., it is usually necessary to set up relatively strong but movable grouping fences. The grouping fences can be made of fences, and the width of the passage is slightly wider than the sheep body. Sheep can only move forward in a single line in the passage and cannot turn back.

Sheep farming: During the dry grass period, the feed supply must be balanced

7. Silage pit becomes silage tower

For making silage.

8. Medicinal Bath

In order to prevent and treat scabies and other parasitic diseases, the flocks should be given a medicinal bath regularly every year. The commonly used medicinal bath pool is rectangular, usually built with cement, with a depth of no less than 1.0 meter, a length of about 10 meters, a bottom width of 30-60 cm, and a top width of 60-100 cm. The entrance to the medicinal bath pool is a steep slope; the exit is a step, and a drip platform is set.

Sheep farm planning

The overall planning layout of the sheep farm can be divided into three major areas, namely: living management area, production core area, and other auxiliary areas, which need to be introduced in detail one by one.

Living management area: The living management area includes buildings such as guardhouses, staff dormitories, restaurants, offices, and entertainment rooms. These areas are where the sheep farm staff are active and have more contact with the outside world. They should be built in the upwind direction of the sheep farm and at higher terrain, and should be about 300 meters away from the other two areas.

Production core area: The production core area includes sheep houses, feed processing rooms, feed storage, sports fields, etc. The construction of sheep houses is the core of the core, which I will explain in the next section. Sheep houses should be built in the center of the sheep farm, and feed processing rooms and feed storage should be close to the sheep houses to facilitate the collection of feed. The area of ​​the sports field should be 2.5 to 3 times larger than the area of ​​the sheep house, and the terrain should be flat and disinfected frequently. According to different functions, we divide the sheep houses into breeding sheep houses, lamb houses, reserve sheep houses, fattening sheep houses, etc.

Other auxiliary areas: Other auxiliary areas include silage facilities, veterinary rooms, sick sheep isolation sheds, machinery storage warehouses, manure and urine treatment sites, etc. Commonly used silage facilities include silage pits, which can be built around the sheep house for easy feeding. The sick sheep isolation shed should be built downwind of the sheep farm, 100 meters away from the sheep house to prevent infection of healthy sheep. The manure and urine treatment site should have a dedicated passage from the sheep house, generally built downwind of the site, away from the living management area and the core production area.

Sheep house construction

Sheep sheds are places for sheep to eat and rest. A good sheep shed environment is not only conducive to the normal growth and development of meat sheep, but also can reduce the incidence of meat sheep diseases. There are many kinds of sheep sheds for small-scale sheep farms, such as rectangular sheep sheds, plastic greenhouse sheep sheds, and building-type sheep sheds. No matter which sheep shed is built, the principle of "adapting to local conditions and being economical and practical" must be followed. In northern my country, plastic greenhouse sheep sheds are mostly used; in southern my country, building-type sheep sheds are mostly used.

Plastic warm shed sheep house: Plastic warm shed sheep house is a common warm shed in the cold areas of northern my country. In our northwest rural areas, this kind of sheep house can be seen everywhere. The construction method of plastic warm shed sheep house is as follows: based on the original open shed with three walls, a low wall about 1.2 meters high is built 2 to 3 meters in front of the eaves of the sheep house, and a door about 2 meters wide is left in the middle of the low wall. The door should be hung with cotton curtains in winter. The top of the low wall and the eaves are supported by wooden poles, covered with plastic film, and reinforced with wooden strips. When buckling the shed, the plastic film should be flattened and tightened, and the edge joints should be pressed with wet soil. The direction of the warm shed should face north and south, and the angle of buckling the shed is generally 35 to 45 degrees. In order to ensure ventilation, a switchable air inlet can be left at 1.5 meters from the ground on the east and west walls, and two exhaust holes should be left at the highest point of the roof. The size of the air inlet and exhaust holes can be set to 30 cm by 30 cm. Advantages: less investment, easy to build, good thermal insulation performance, and can effectively prevent meat sheep from losing weight.

Southern building-style sheep shed: Building-style sheep sheds are common in the hot and humid areas of southern my country. They are of building-style structure. Sheep live upstairs, and the platform is 1 to 2 meters above the ground. The floor is a slatted sheep bed, and the bottom of the sheep bed is designed to be a 20-degree slope to collect sheep feces and urine, which can automatically flow into the feces and urine pool outside the sheep shed on the slope. Building-style sheep sheds are divided into single-row and double-row types. In actual production, single-row building-style sheep sheds are commonly used. The width of a single-row building-style sheep shed is about 4 to 6 meters, and the length is determined by the actual breeding scale. When built, the front is against the sill, and the back is hanging feet. The height of the hanging feet is 1.3 to 1.5 meters. The height from the slatted floor to the roof is 2.6 to 2.8 meters. There is a walkway inside the sheep shed, which is 1 to 1.2 meters wide. At the same time, a fixed trough is set up. There are wooden fences between the walkway and the sheep bed. When the sheep eat or drink, they put their heads into the trough in the walkway through the wooden fence to eat and drink. Advantages: moisture-proof and heat-insulating, good ventilation performance, reduces the labor intensity of breeders, and sheep are not prone to illness.

High-quality sheep houses can significantly improve the breeding efficiency of everyone. When building a sheep house, everyone wants to achieve a perfect effect. Sheep houses cannot be built well all at once, and they need to be gradually improved in the later stage. So how to build a sheep house with good effect?

1. Waterproof the bottom of the sheep house

Sheep houses are places that are prone to moisture. The moisture on the ground of sheep houses is the most serious. Whether it is daily water use or natural bottom water vapor, it will eventually accumulate on the ground. The structure of the ground is generally not waterproof, and the ground is difficult to be air-dried. It is easy for water vapor to accumulate and difficult to dissipate. If you want the effect of the sheep house to be good, it is best to prepare the bottom for waterproofing. In this way, there are not many places where the moisture that causes moisture can accumulate, and the dissipation speed becomes faster. The sheep house can maintain a relatively dry environment, and the effect will naturally be good.

2. The sheep house should be built with windows and ventilation

Sealed sheep houses require too much investment, while open-air fences lack security, so ordinary sheep houses are the most popular. However, sheep houses have a high demand for lighting and ventilation, which is why many sheep houses have many windows. In fact, more windows are not necessarily better. It mainly depends on whether the window layout is reasonable. Many people's sheep houses have extremely high indoor temperatures in the summer and they can't be lowered no matter what. This shows that there may be a big problem with their windows, which has a counterproductive effect. It is best to deal with dense windows that are not conducive to ventilation, so that light can be evenly irradiated in the sheep house, and then it is reasonable to leave windows to ensure ventilation and air permeability, so that the effect will be good.

3. The cheapest and most cost-saving, simple structure

A sheep house should not be too complicated. As the breeding time goes by, in order to better adapt to the breeding situation, everyone needs to constantly adjust the sheep house. If everyone fixes each area at the beginning and cannot effectively adjust the layout, then you can only make do with the breeding. After all, reconstruction is time-consuming and expensive. How can the breeding effect be good under such circumstances? There is no need to isolate many places in the sheep house very thoroughly. As long as the areas can be clearly distinguished, it will be convenient to adjust whether it is gregarious or doing other things. The sheep house is reasonable and convenient to use, and the effect is naturally great.

4. Be sure to stay away from residential areas and take precautions

Breeding sites generally need to be well protected. One is to prevent outside organisms from accidentally entering, because these may carry germs, and the other is to facilitate management, especially when the breeding site is sterilized or disinfected, so that there is no place for temporary placement. The protection of the sheep house is divided into two layers. One is the construction of the protective fence of the entire site, and the other is the outer protection of the sheep house. The combination of the two provides higher security. If the surrounding environment is not good, you can add a screen, which can protect against the threat of mosquitoes to a certain extent.

The above are some precautions when building a sheep house. Doing so can effectively improve the quality of your sheep house and guarantee your breeding effect to a certain extent. Breeding relies on these aspects to ensure breeding benefits, so don't underestimate them.

1. Goat feeding and confinement technology

Goats are herbivorous livestock with high reproduction rate, wide adaptability and good economic benefits. Traditional goat farming is free grazing on natural grassy hills. Although it is low-cost and profitable, it is limited in development and easy to damage the ecological environment. How to combine seasonal grazing with shed feeding and confinement to effectively utilize mountain grassland resources and protect the natural environment? To solve the above problems, goats must be raised in sheds.

1. Artificial Fences

Artificial fencing is divided into two types: cultivating thorny plants (such as bitter orange, rose thorn, etc.) and solar electric grazing fences. Natural grass hills or artificial pastures are divided into different blocks for isolated grazing in turn. This method of raising sheep should pay attention to the following: First, the pasture that has just been grazed should be allowed to grow back before grazing. Second, different varieties should be reasonably arranged in artificial pastures to ensure that there is green grass all year round. Third, grazing during the day, after returning at night, artificial compound feed should be supplemented, such as corn, wheat bran, rice bran, fried soybean powder, vegetable dregs powder, trace minerals, etc.

Artificial fencing requires more investment than natural grazing, but it is scientifically raised, the sheep grow faster, the benefits are higher than traditional sheep farming, and it will not damage the ecological environment.

2. Large-scale pen breeding

1. Sheep farm design

The sheep farm should be built near a large area of ​​grassy hills or artificial grass farms, with high and dry terrain, sunny and leeward, facing north and south, with convenient transportation, and no industrial pollution and noise pollution. Dig a well to get water in a place higher than the sheep farm and without any pollution, and bury plastic pipes or iron pipes to lead out tap water. It is better to separate the staff office area, living area and sheep raising area at a distance of more than 200 meters.

2. Sheep pen building design

The design of the sheep pen should face south, be sunny and sheltered from the wind, be ventilated, have good lighting, be dry and sanitary, and be based on the principles of being suitable for the living habits of sheep, conducive to disease prevention, conducive to electrification and mechanized operation, and saving and reducing costs.

(1) Single-row stilt house sheep pen

The whole sheep pen is a stilt house over 1 meter high, with slatted floors, fixed with semicircular fir strips with a diameter of 3-5 cm. The slatted gap between two strips should be large enough to leak sheep dung balls but not sheep feet. There is no manure pit under the stilt house, and the slope is designed to be more than 45 degrees for easy cleaning. The sheep pens can be separated by fine wire mesh or other materials. It is best to cover the roof with small green tiles. If you want to reduce investment, you can also cover it with thatch or straw, but the slope of the roof surface should be large to ensure that the roof does not leak. Do not use cow hair felt, film, or asbestos tiles to cover the roof, as this is not conducive to heat dissipation in summer and affects the growth and development of sheep.

(2) Double-row hanging corner sheep pen

The double-row stilted sheep pen has a larger building space. The sheep pen is arranged in two rows with a working passage in the middle. Its advantage is high utilization of building area. However, due to the large space and complex structure, it has high requirements for building materials and relatively more investment. In addition, the shady side is relatively damp in winter, so it is only suitable for raising fattening sheep.

(3) Simple ground sheep pen

Choose a high and dry ground or a riverbed with thick sand, build a simple thatched shed, divide it into small sheep pens, and you can also raise sheep. However, you must clean the sheep shed frequently and do regular disinfection.

(4) Simple cement floor sheep pen

Choose a high and dry ground, build a sheep pen, and use cement mortar to smear the ground. The ground should have a certain slope, no pits, no water accumulation, and no urine accumulation.

Each pen should have an exercise field of the same size. Daily exercise and sunbathing are beneficial to the growth and reproduction of sheep, which is especially important for breeding sheep. Each exercise field should be relatively independent to prevent sheep from intermingling and fighting each other, resulting in injuries and deaths.

Sheep house area: 1.5×2 meters is suitable for breeding ewes. 2×2 meters is suitable for breeding rams. 2×2 meters is suitable for 4 reserve breeding sheep. 24 square meters is suitable for 10 meat sheep.

Height of sheep shed: The height of the stilt house should be more than 1 meter. The height from the ground to the eaves is 2 meters. If covered with green tiles, the height from the ground to the roof is 3.7 meters. If covered with thatch, the height from the ground to the roof is 4.2 meters.

Wall material: cement brick or fire brick with lime mortar.

Floor material: 10% cement mortar.

Feed trough: Goats like cleanliness and do not eat contaminated grass. Use wooden boards to make a 2-meter-long and 10-centimeter-deep feeding trough, or a single trough that is 0.5 meters long and 10 centimeters deep.

Grass rack: Use wooden strips to make a single grass rack of 3 meters long and 40 centimeters deep or 1 meter long and 30 centimeters deep for feeding grass. If fresh grass is placed on the ground for feeding, it is easy to cause pollution and waste.

Manure pit: The construction of manure ditch and manure pit is essential. It can be designed in combination with biogas fermentation for better comprehensive utilization.

Sick sheep isolation pens: Each sheep farm should build one or several sick sheep isolation pens depending on its size, so that sick sheep can be isolated and treated to prevent the spread of the disease.

Feed processing and preparation room: Each sheep farm should establish a corresponding feed processing and preparation room, equipped with grass cutters, crushers, and mixers to achieve mechanized preparation of ingredients.

Forage warehouse: According to the scale of breeding, corresponding forage outlets should be established.

4. I want to build a simple sheep house that can feed 200 sheep, and the cost of the sheep house is only 10,000 yuan! What should I do?

To feed 200 sheep, it depends on what kind of sheep they are. If they are big sheep, they need more space. If they are small sheep, they need less space. Fattening sheep saves space, while grazing sheep takes up space.

If you are raising fattening sheep, it is recommended to rent a sheep shed with the 10,000 yuan. In rural areas, a sheep shed that can accommodate 200 sheep costs less than 10,000 yuan. Abandoned dairy farms, breeding farms, and abandoned schools are everywhere, and it doesn't cost much to rent them.

And in terms of heat preservation and wind and snow resistance, it is very good. If it is fattening sheep, such a sheep shed is conducive to the weight gain of fattening sheep, and it is also worry-free in terms of labor. If it is grazing sheep, renting such a sheep shed is a bit uneconomical.

Since the capital is very low, there are only two ways to build a sheep shed. One is to take advantage of the natural advantages and add waste materials. The other is the greenhouse commonly used by farmers, which can only block the wind and cold, but has many disadvantages. Let's take a look at them one by one.

1 Natural advantage, waste materials

If you want to build a shed for 200 sheep with 10,000 yuan, you need to use a wall or a mountain. Try to save one or two walls, so that the money saved on two walls can be added to the roof and other aspects.

200 sheep need at least 200 square meters of space. If there is such a large space between the house and the wall, it is possible to build a sheep shed with 10,000 yuan of waste color steel tiles and waste iron pipes by your own hands.

The main cost of building a sheep shed is labor and materials. If you can't build it yourself, even if you buy scrap materials, 10,000 yuan is not enough. For the main materials of the sheep shed, try to buy scrap iron from a scrap iron purchasing station. If you have a large quantity, you can bargain for the price.

2 Greenhouse

The greenhouse that farmers use to cover rice seedlings can hold 200 sheep. The greenhouse can be 10x25 meters wide and long, and the materials are only two types of greenhouse pipes and plastic. This kind of greenhouse is not a 9-meter iron pipe greenhouse, but a 10-meter net width inside the greenhouse.

When raising sheep in a shed, the flocks must be separated, otherwise it is easy for the big sheep to crush the small sheep.

The cost of building such a greenhouse in rural areas is about 10,000 yuan. This kind of greenhouse is afraid of strong winds and heavy snow. Farmers use it to cover seedlings in spring. In spring, it is only for wind protection. There is no snow, which reduces a lot of risks. After covering the seedlings, the plastic is removed and they can spend the winter safely.

In this kind of shed, if there is heavy snow in winter, the snow on the roof must be pushed away overnight, otherwise the sheep shed may collapse. Many sheep sheds like this in Northeast China collapsed when heavy snow fell without anyone noticing.

This is the most likely sheep shed I have seen that can be built with 10,000 yuan. In rural areas, apart from these two situations, there is no other good way except buying or renting a dilapidated house. I hope this can help you.
