Why do sheep lose money?

There are many reasons why raising sheep may lose money. Here are some possible reasons:

1. High feed cost: sheep need a lot of feed, especially green feed. If you can't grow green feed, you need to buy it, and the feed cost will be high. If the sales price is not high, it may lead to losses.

2. Simple sheephouse: Some sheep farmers don't pay enough attention to the sheephouse when raising sheep. For example, they can't keep warm in winter and summer, which can't meet the nutritional needs of sheep, which will lead to slow growth of sheep, low reproductive efficiency and increase the cost and risk of raising sheep.

3. Sheep farm disinfection: sheep should be disinfected, but some sheep farmers do not disinfect or disinfect thoroughly for a long time, which leads to various diseases of sheep and increases the cost and risk of treatment.

4. Mixed breeding of male and female: Some sheep farmers mix male and female together, which leads to high breeding density and seriously reduces the production performance of sheep.

5. Immature breeding technology: Due to the immature breeding technology of some sheep farmers, the breeding cost is too high, but the income is small, which will also lead to sheep losses.

6. Market fluctuation: Market fluctuation may also lead to sheep losses. For example, buying sheep, the price is higher, but the market fell when it went public, resulting in losses.

7. Increased cost of mutton sheep breeding: For example, large mutton sheep farms do not understand the technology and laws of mutton sheep breeding. Form excessive growth, excessive investment and small income.

8. Blind investment: Some sheep farms blindly invest, resulting in immature technology in all aspects, feed shortage and other reasons, which will also lead to sheep losing money.

To sum up, in order to make sheep profitable, we need to do a good job in feed, sheep house management, epidemic prevention management, breeding density and so on.
