How to build a sheep shed in rural areas

To build a sheep shed in rural areas, we should choose a site with high terrain, sufficient water and good drainage, pave the ground with cement or masonry, and then enclose a sheepfold with wooden fences or iron fences. You can build a sunshade at the top of the sheepfold to shelter the sheep from the wind and rain. During the feeding process, the shed should be cleaned regularly to ensure the clean environment.

How to build a sheep shed 1 in rural areas and its site selection

When building a sheep shed in rural areas, you can choose a site with flat terrain, sunny lee and convenient irrigation and drainage, and set aside an area of 100 square meter as the site for building a sheep shed, and dig drainage ditches around the site to prevent rainwater from entering the sheep shed and affecting the health of sheep.

2. Construction method

When building a sheepfold, it is necessary to smooth the ground with cement, and then enclose it with wooden fences or iron fences to form a sheepfold. One side of the sheepfold should be supported and a canopy should be installed to prevent the sheep from getting wet. If the sheep are kept in the shed for a long time, install a trough and sink.

3. Preventive measures

After the construction of the sheepfold is completed, all the construction waste inside should be cleaned up to avoid harm to the sheep. Moreover, the sheepfold needs to be scrubbed with detergent and disinfectant for two or three times, and then ventilated for one day before it can be used to prevent the sheep from being unable to adapt to the environment because of the bad smell or taste in the sheepfold.

4. Breeding method

When raising sheep, we should provide them with forage, vegetables, fruits and other foods to provide them with the energy they need for a day. When the temperature is high in summer, we can cut their hair, lower their body temperature, and prepare a medicated bath for them after shearing, so as to improve their immunity and make them grow healthily.
