Hello everyone, welcome to watch this issue of the lamb said three farmers. Today, let's talk about the Dupo sheep. It is well known that the Dubo sheep, like the Boer goat, originated in South Africa, and the Dubo sheep was selected by cross-breeding of horned taussett sheep and Persian black-headed sheep. The Dupo sheep is the world's most famous breed of meat goats.
Dubo sheep is known as the "diamond grade meat sheep" breed, how to distinguish the purebred Dupo sheep and its value?
According to the color of the head, the Dubo sheep are divided into two types: white-headed Dupo sheep and black-headed Dupo sheep. Both sheep have white bodies and limbs. The head is straight, the length is moderate, the bridge of the nose is slightly drummed, divided into no horns or small horns, the ears are small, straight, and the ears are not short or wide. The shoulders are broad and the back is straight.
Dubo sheep chest full, limbs are muscular, strong limbs, and moderate length, limbs are upright, the whole body is relatively strong, Dubo sheep is divided into long hair type and short hair type two breeds, long hair type Du Bo sheep mainly produce more hair, more suitable for the cold climatic conditions in the north breeding, short hair type Du Po sheep, back hair is relatively short, can better resist heat and rain. In the case of sufficient feed protein, Dubo sheep do not need to be sheared, because the hair of Dupo sheep can be freely shed.
The growth rate of Dubo sheep is faster, especially after weaning, the weight gain is very fast, the weight of the four-month-old Dubo sheep lamb can reach thirty-six kilograms, the sheep cavity is about 16 kilograms, and the meat quality is excellent. The average daily weight gain of lambs in Dupo sheep can reach about 90 grams. Dupo sheep are of medium height, with adult Dupo rams and Dubo ewes weighing around 120 to 85 kg, respectively.
Let's continue to talk about the value of the Dubo sheep.
First, the breeding value of Dubo sheep. The hereditary genes of Dubo sheep are stable, whether it is breeding offspring, as well as improved offspring, they all show good production performance and adaptability, especially the meat production performance of Dubo sheep, the fat distribution in the meat is relatively uniform, it belongs to high-quality meat, which is incomparable to our domestic meat sheep breeds. The quality of dupo lamb with good production performance can meet the standards of high-quality meat in terms of both morphology and fat distribution.
Second, the meat value of Dubo sheep. The meat of Dubo sheep is tender, juicy and lean, and it is known as "diamond-grade meat sheep" by people who like to eat lamb. Dubo lamb has a fast meat feeding rate, which is more suitable for fattening and has higher efficiency. The most important criterion for meat sheep is its economic characteristics, so the Dubo sheep is also a good sheep breed with economic benefits.
Third, the wool value of Dubo sheep. The Dupo sheep can be sheared about twice in the year. The dorsal hairs are mostly fine hairs, some are coarse hairs, and the main wool system is 64 branches. A small number of companies can reach 70 or more, and the net gross ratio can reach an average of about 50 to 55 percent.
