The market price of Dubo sheep lamb is about 1000 yuan, the price of purebred Dubo lamb has been about 2000 ~ 3000 thousand yuan, and the purebred sheep weighing more than 40 kg and meeting the breed requirements (that is, above the first level), the market price is not less than 5000 yuan. The price of improved breeds of Dubo sheep is usually half of the price of the same grade of purebred Dubo sheep, and the price of an improved breed of Dubo sheep that meets the requirements of the first level is about 2500 yuan, but the quality may be on the market.
According to the color of its neck, the Dubo sheep is divided into two categories: white-headed Dubo and black-headed Dubo, the body and legs are white, the cross-section of the top of the head, the length is moderate, the forehead is wide, the nose bridge is slightly raised, there is no horn or small horn root, the ear is small and the cross-section is neither short nor too wide. The neck is short and thick, the shoulders are thick, the back is cross-sectional, the ribs are arched, the chest is full, and the back of the body is strong. The legs are strong and moderate in length, and the limbs should be upright. The whole body is like a tall carriage. Dubo sheep is divided into two varieties, long hair and short hair, hair long sheep produce carpet hair, more suitable for severe cold climatic conditions, short hair type sheep coat is shorter can effectively resist heat and rain.
DuBo sheep annual shearing 1 to 2 times, shearing amount: adult ram 2 ~ 2.5 kg, ewe 1.5 ~ 2 kg; the coat is mostly homogeneous fine hairs, a small number of individuals are fine semi-coarse hairs, hair is short and fine, spring hair 6.13 cm, autumn hair 4.92 cm, wool wool Main mesh number of 64, a small part of 70 or above; net gross rate average 50% ~ 55%.
Dubo sheep have strong disease resistance, and Dubo has excellent disease resistance. In a slightly worse stocking situation, other breeds of sheep can survive when they cannot survive. Even in very extreme cases, ewes can produce a lamb of effective quality. In view of the fact that the purpose of cultivating Dubo sheep at that time depended on the natural environment of slightly poor suitability, coupled with the fact that such sheep had their own disease resistance and non-conditional herbivorous characteristics, this breed had a high influence in meat sheep. Du Bo sheep grass feeding wide Du Bo sheep grass wide range of grass, all kinds of forage is not picky (non-conditional), this feature is very beneficial to breeding control, in most sheep farms, can take stocking, can also feed other varieties of more difficult to use and can not use all kinds of forage. Dubo sheep have excellent nature, Dubo sheep have high milk production and good lamb protection.
Usually after the birth of the sheep 4 to 6 months (some 3 months) sexual maturity, the signs of sexual maturity of the baby ram are: follow the ewe, take the climb span; the main performance of the little ewe is the spring situation, if the breeding is taken at this time, that is, it can reproduce. But this time is exactly the most abundant stage of lamb growth and development, if it is mated too early, it will not only affect its growth and development, but also affect the physical fitness and production function of the offspring. Therefore, the beginning of sexual function maturation does not mean that it is the most suitable age for breeding and reproduction. In order to better avoid the mismatch of lambs, the male sheep need to be raised and stocked in groups 3 months after birth.
Use two varieties to take improved varieties. For example, the use of Dubo sheep ram with local sheep ewe, the offspring born, growth and development, good body structure, disease resistance is stronger than the local sheep, has two kinds of parental advantages, some advantages also exceed the parents, this kind of situation is called "improved breed characteristics". The breeding of Dubo sheep should be in accordance with the needs of economic nature, planned to improve the selection of varieties, to prevent close relatives from breeding, in order to enhance economic returns.
