Sheep Feeding

Proper nutrition is essential for sheep to maintain their health, growth, and productivity. At Kenz, we design customized feeding programs tailored to the needs of each breed, ensuring optimal wool and meat production. Merino Sheep thrive on a high-fiber diet with quality pasture, hay, and supplemental grains to support wool growth and overall health. Dorper Sheep require a protein-rich diet consisting of high-quality forage and grains to promote rapid growth and superior meat production. Suffolk Sheep benefit from a balanced diet of grass, hay, and grain supplements to support their strong muscular build and meat quality. Rambouillet Sheep are well-adapted to various climates and require a nutrient-rich diet of pasture, alfalfa, and mineral supplements to maintain wool and body condition. Katahdin Sheep thrive on natural grazing, supplemented with grains and minerals to ensure healthy growth without excessive fat accumulation. At Kenz, we ensure our sheep receive the best nutrition to enhance their growth, wool quality, and sustainability, keeping them healthy and productive year-round.

Sheep Meat

Producing high-quality sheep meat requires effective management and care tailored to each breedโ€™s unique needs. At Kenz, we implement best practices to ensure superior meat quality while maintaining sustainability and ethical farming. Housing is essential for keeping sheep stress-free and healthy. Our shelters provide ample space, ventilation, and protection from harsh weather conditions, ensuring their comfort. A well-balanced diet of high-quality forage, grains, and minerals ensures proper growth, muscle development, and meat tenderness, especially in breeds like Dorper and Suffolk. Low-stress handling techniques are implemented to keep the sheep calm, as stress reduction leads to better meat texture, flavor, and tenderness. At Kenz, we are committed to ethical and sustainable farming, ensuring that our sheep meat meets the highest standards of quality, nutrition, and taste.

Sheep Diseases

Sheep are susceptible to various diseases that can impact their health and productivity. At Kenz, we prioritize strict health monitoring and preventive care to ensure their well-being. Foot Rot is a bacterial infection that affects the hooves, causing lameness and pain. Regular hoof trimming, dry bedding, and proper hygiene help prevent its occurrence. Blue Tongue is a viral disease transmitted by insects, leading to fever, swelling, and breathing difficulties. Vaccination and insect control are essential preventive measures. Enterotoxemia (Pulpy Kidney Disease) is caused by a bacterial toxin, often affecting rapidly growing lambs. Proper vaccination and diet management help in prevention. Parasitic Infections from worms and external parasites can lead to weight loss, anemia, and reduced wool quality. Regular deworming and pasture rotation help minimize infestations. At Kenz, we focus on preventive healthcare, vaccinations, and proper flock management to maintain the health and productivity of our sheep.
