羊的繁殖（Sheep breeding） I. factors affecting reproduction. (I) the influence of heredity Sheep have the most genetic relationship in terms of fecundity. RAMS and ewes, in general, the fertility is strong, the offspring of its fertility is strong, so you can select to produce more than the male ewe lamb or choose itself is much fetal lamb sheep for a kind of use, can maintain and improve the lambing rate. The first lambing time also tends to affect the lifetime of the lambing number, if the choice develops fast, early stage early male sheep, also can pass this precocious sex to the offspring. If you choose a large, well-built, disease-resistant male sheep, the same is true for its offspring. But inbreeding, to exert a great influence of genetic force, even make the offspring appear deformity (sheep) between and dwarf, fertility is reduced, so the low fertility, the small, poor physical sheep cant use, as a kind of especially kind of ram to resolutely eliminate. It is also important to avoid the effects of inbreeding on heredity. (2) the effects of nutrition The influence of nutrition on fecundity is multifaceted, such as the composition of the feed and the energy, the quality of the protein, the supply of vitamins and minerals, all affect the fertility. The nutrient level first affects the development of the lamb, the nutritive good sheep develops fast, the mature early, the lambing also early, the nutrition difference is opposite this. Nutrition levels also directly affect the rate of pregnancy, and also affect fetal development and survival rate. The semen quality of male sheep is also affected by nutrition, especially the degree of protein supply. Rich in protein, abundant ejaculation, semen quality. In general, energy supply, proteins are of good quality and fertility is high also, but when overnutrition of fertility effect, such as low fat instead of a male sheep fertility, therefore, ewe not too fat, ram is more suitable when eighty percent fat.
