Horses are an important livestock animal, and their breeding methods mainly include the following aspects:
Environment: Horses need to have a suitable site, which is usually dry, ventilated and well-lit. The horse pen should be kept clean and hygienic to avoid excessive accumulation of feces and urine, which may cause infectious diseases or other health problems.
Feed: Horses have a wide variety of feed, which can be forage, concentrate feed, concentrated feed, etc. Horses are picky about the choice of forage and usually eat mixed grasses such as alfalfa grass, rye grass, oat grass, Bates grass, etc. At the same time, horses need enough water, which should be between 5-10 liters per day.
Health management: Horses are susceptible to some diseases, such as pneumonia, horse plague, foot-and-mouth disease, etc. Therefore, regular vaccination, deworming, and regular check-ups are all necessary health management measures. In addition, horses also need to carry out regular maintenance work such as hoof cleaning, teeth trimming, etc.
Reproduction: Breeding is an important part of a horse's production. Generally speaking, stallions and mares are bred at a specific time, and the gestation period is long, which requires continuous pregnancy management, including breeding, exercise, examination, etc. Ponies after birth need to be properly fed and cared for.
Exercise: Horses need moderate exercise to keep them healthy. It usually requires a certain amount of free activity every day, or exercises such as running and riding.
In short, horse breeding needs to pay attention to the environment, feed, health management, breeding, sports and other aspects, and need to have professional management personnel for careful management and care.
