Sheep Breeding & Detection of Heat
Sheep comes into heat during March- April, June-July, Sep-Oct . About 60-70% of animals come into heat during June-July. The rest of animals come to heat during, March-April and Sep-Oct. Detection of heat in sheep is difficult by external Signs. Detection of heat can be done more effectively by using Aproned Ram. The following pictures show various steps in preparation of Aproned Ram (Male) and breeding of females (ewes).
The Breeding Ram should be changed atleast every two years. The good idea is try to exchange your ram with other persons sheep flock in the same village / other villages / sell his own ram get a new ram. Donot use the males that are born in your flock as future breeding rams.
