In the process of raising sheep, effective management goes beyond just feeding and grazing throughout the seasons. One critical aspect that often gets overlooked is regular hoof care. Sheep hooves, like any other body part, continue to grow and develop over time. If left unattended, long hooves can cause serious problems. Not only do they hinder the sheep's ability to walk comfortably, but they can also reduce their appetite, which negatively affects their overall growth and health. Prolonged neglect may lead to severe issues such as foot rot, lameness, or even deformed limbs. For breeding rams, this can be especially problematic, as it may impair their ability to mate, and in some cases, result in complete infertility. The best time to trim a sheep’s hooves is during the rainy season when the ground is soft and moist. The damp conditions make the hooves more pliable, making the trimming process easier and less stressful for the animal. To properly trim the hooves, start by securing the sheep safely. Clean the hooves thoroughly, then use a hoof knife to carefully cut away the excess horn. Be sure to trim the surrounding horns so they are level with the base of the hoof. Shape the hooves into an oval form, but avoid cutting too deeply to prevent injury, bleeding, or infection. After trimming, it's advisable to let the sheep graze on flat, soft pastures for a few days before gradually returning to hilly or mountainous terrain once the hooves have slightly regrown. Regular hoof maintenance not only improves the sheep's mobility but also contributes to their long-term health and productivity.

Microcapsule Powder

Microencapsule powder is a kind of powdery substance formed by wrapping powder or liquid substance with high-quality wall material using microencapsulation technology. The diameter is generally 1~500 μm, and the thickness of the wall is generally 0.5~150 μm, which can improve the stability of the product, prevent mutual interference between various components, and make it easier for the human body to absorb and use. Microencapsulation technology can improve the water solubility of the core material, cover the odor of the core material, and prevent the core material from being oxidized.
