The tail is short and upturned. Coat color is mainly black, a few are brown, blue, gray or white.
"National treasure" grade germplasm resources, Taihang Mountain thousand years of incubation
Wu'an goat is a major breed in traditional agriculture and animal husbandry in the Taihang Mountains. On May 28, 2020, it was once again included in the National Inventory for the Protection of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources. In recent years, with the transformation of the national economy and the adjustment and optimization of the agricultural co-giving side, Wu'an goats are more and more favored by farmers for their easy breeding, high meat yield, strong adaptability and high economic value for local large-scale breeding. With the local government's policy of benefiting farmers for the protection of taihang goat breeds for many years, the number of breeding has been increasing. At present, most of the farms (households) in mountainous areas are mainly small-scale house feeding and free range breeding, and once the disease occurs, the disease will spread rapidly in the sheep and may spread to other sheep farms. The risk of an outbreak in a sheep farm not only endangers the survival of the enterprise, but also involves zoonotic infectious diseases and food hygiene and safety issues.
It can be grazed in captivity in both mountainous and plain areas

3 Immunization
3.1 Principles
Establish a scientific epidemic prevention system based on biosecurity by strengthening comprehensive measures such as feeding management, farm hygiene, disinfection, insect repellent, immunization, quarantine, isolation, and harmless treatment. For the agricultural and rural administrative departments at or above the provincial level, the sheep hygiene, disinfection, deworming, immunization, monitoring, quarantine, isolation, harmless treatment, etc. of sheep shall be carried out in accordance with relevant regulations; if not clearly stipulated, epidemic prevention may be carried out according to the local epidemic characteristics and antibody monitoring.
3.2 Immune species
All sheep were immunized to foot-and-mouth disease, Clostridium weiss disease, enterotoxemia, and dysentery in lambs. Targeted immunization is carried out against sheep in areas where brucellosis, peste des petits ruminants, anthrax, tetanus, goat pox and other epidemic areas have occurred.
3.3 Immune surveillance
3.3.1 In accordance with the requirements of the Animal Epidemic Prevention Law of the People's Republic of China and its supporting regulations, combined with the epidemic situation of local sheep, monitoring in accordance with the monitoring plan of the competent agricultural department.

The necessary method of inoculating sheep is carried out.
3.5.2 Injection site
Available on the side of the neck, buttocks, medial femur, subcutaneously or muscularly.
3.5.3 Injection site treatment;
Disinfect topically with 3% to 5% iodine preparations, followed by deiodization with 75% alcohol (shearing if necessary).
4 Deworming
4.1 Focus on the prevention and control of parasitic diseases
Focus on the prevention and control of exopararasitic diseases such as mites, ticks, sheep fly maggots and demodex fleas, as well as internal parasitic diseases such as nematode disease, tapeworm disease and trematode disease.
4.2 Deworming time and method
According to the epidemiological characteristics of various parasitic diseases and the results of fecal egg examination, deworming is carried out in late autumn and early spring and before the start of house feeding, and ewes should not be dewormed during pregnancy. The expulsion of parasites on the surface of the sheep should be carried out by medicinal baths, drug injections, and external anthelmintics, etc., and the expulsion of parasites in sheep should be carried out by oral and injectable drugs.
4.3 Free-range open sheep farms, in addition to deworming according to procedures, deworming at any time according to the results of fecal monitoring.
4.4 While deworming, the breeding environment of sheep is comprehensively sterilized, disinfected and cleaned.
4.5 References for recommended deworming drugs are shown in Appendix 2.
