Nutritional Requirements of Sheep

Sheep possess distinct nutritional needs that significantly differentiate them from other livestock species. Their digestive system, primarily composed of a rumen, requires a specific balance of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals to support optimal health and productivity. A proper diet enhances their growth, reproduction, and milk production, making it essential for farmers to understand these unique requirements.

The Differences: Sheep vs. Other Livestock

Unlike cattle or pigs that thrive on different dietary compositions, sheep require a higher fiber fraction in their diet. While cattle can efficiently process grasses and forbs, sheep are more selective grazers, preferring high-quality forages and grains. Additionally, sheep need a balanced intake of minerals like copper and selenium that may not be as critical for other livestock. This difference necessitates specialized formulations in livestock feed.
