[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1 (1)Select 1,000 multiparous Australian White sheep without horns, pure white in color, large in size, and carrying homozygous prolificacy genes as female parents, and 2,000 doses of frozen semen from Poll Dorset sheep without horns and pure white as male parents to obtain the hybrid A-F1 generation and select 1,200 live sheep; (2)Select 1,000 multiparous Small Tail Han sheep without horns, pure white in color, large in size, and carrying homozygous prolificacy genes as female parents, and 2,000 doses of frozen semen from Polled East Friesian sheep without horns and pure white as male parents to obtain the hybrid B-F1 generation and select 1,200 live sheep; (3)Use 500 excellent female A-F1 generation sheep with heterozygous or homozygous prolificacy genes, a birth weight of more than 2.1 kg, a weaning weight of more than 33 kg at three months of age, and an adult female weight of 95 - 115 kg to cross with excellent male B-F1 generation sheep or frozen semen of male sheep with homozygous prolificacy genes, and use 500 excellent male A-F1 generation sheep with homozygous prolificacy genes to cross with 500 excellent female B-F1 generation sheep with homozygous prolificacy genes to obtain an excellent F2 generation with prolificacy genes and select 600 live sheep; (4)Select 300 female sheep from the F2 generation that contain heterozygous or homozygous prolificacy genes, have a horn genotype of pp, are pure white, have a birth weight of more than 2.3 kg, a weaning weight of more than 33 kg at three months of age, and an adult female weight of 95 - 115 kg as female parents, and 600 doses of frozen semen from F2 generation male sheep or 12 - 15 male parents that are without horns, pure white, and have homozygous prolificacy genes for continuous inbreeding and fixation for 4 generations to obtain a core flock of sheep suitable for captive breeding and multi-fetal meat use; (5)Use Suffolk sheep as the terminal sire to cross with the newly selected female sheep suitable for captive breeding and multi-fetal meat use in step (4) to cultivate a new variety of multi-fetal meat use sheep. The mutton of this variety of sheep after feeding and breeding can be used for high-quality mutton with an appropriate fat-to-meat ratio for frying, roasting, and stir-frying. Suffolk sheep are famous in the world for their large size, fast early growth, plump muscles, well-developed hindquarters, good reproductive performance, high meat production, and strong adaptability. They are one of the excellent meat sheep breeds in the world. Using the characteristics of Suffolk sheep, such as early maturity, large size, and well-developed muscle, as the sire for crossing can improve the growth and development rate and meat production ability of the hybrid offspring lambs.

[0025] The feeding method is captive breeding. From late spring to late autumn, they can move freely between the pen and the shed during the day. From late autumn to late spring of the following year, the environmental temperature in the shed at night should not be lower than 5°C, and the humidity should be 30% - 50%.

[0026] The required forage and feed are as follows: average 0.5 kg of green hay per sheep per day, 4 kg of silage per sheep per day, and 0.5 kg of complete compound feed powder per sheep per day.

[0027] The green hay consists of the following components in parts by mass: 60 - 70 parts of first-class oat green hay and 30 - 40 parts of peanut vine.

[0028] Silage is composed of the following raw materials in proportions by weight: 70-75 parts of corn stalks and 25-30 parts of alfalfa.

[0029] The required concentrated feed was purchased from Henan Jiaozuo Hefeng Feed Co., Ltd., 0.5 kg / head / d.

[0030] The reproductive performance and lamb production performance of the core group of ewes suitable for frying, roasting and stir-frying are shown in Table 1.

[0031] Table 1 Performance of a high-quality sheep production method that meets the market demand for fat and lean sheep suitable for frying, roasting and stir-frying

[0032] Example 2 (1) Select 1,000 hornless, pure white, large-bodied Australian white sheep carrying the homozygous multiparous gene as female parents and 2,000 hornless, pure white Nanqiu sheep frozen semen as male parents to obtain hybrid A-F1 generation and select 1,200 live sheep; (2) Select 1,000 hornless, pure white, large-bodied, homozygous multiparous Small-tailed Han sheep as female parents and 2,000 hornless, pure white, hornless East Frisian sheep frozen semen as male parents, and obtain 1,200 selected live hybrid B-F1 sheep; (3) Crossbreed 500 excellent A-F1 generation ewes with a birth weight of more than 2.1 kg, a weaning weight of more than 33 kg at three months of age, and an adult weight of 95-115 kg with excellent B-F1 generation homozygous rams or ram frozen semen with the multiparity gene, and crossbreed 500 excellent A-F1 generation homozygous sires with the multiparity gene with excellent B-F1 generation dams with the multiparity gene, to obtain 600 live F2 generation sheep with the multiparity gene; (4) Select 300 ewes from the F2 generation that are heterozygous or homozygous for the multiparity gene, have a horn genotype of pp, are pure white, have a birth weight of more than 2.3 kg, a weaning weight of more than 33 kg at three months of age, and an adult weight of 95-115 kg as females, and 600 frozen semen copies or 12-15 males of the F2 generation that are hornless, pure white, and homozygous for the multiparity gene, and cross-breed them for four consecutive generations to obtain a core group of breeding sheep suitable for multiparity meat-producing sheep in captivity; (5)Use Dorper sheep as the terminal sire to cross with the newly selected ewes of the multi - fetal meat - type sheep suitable for pen - feeding, and a new variety of multi - fetal meat - type sheep is cultivated. Through feeding and breeding, high - quality mutton suitable for hand - held mutton and lean - meat type can be obtained. Dorper meat - type sheep originated in South Africa and was developed by crossing Poll Dorset sheep and Persian Black - headed sheep. It is a world - famous meat - type sheep breed. Dorper sheep has a high lean - meat rate, tender and juicy meat, light mutton smell, good taste, and is especially suitable for fat lamb production. It is internationally regarded as "diamond - class" mutton and has high economic value. The heredity of Dorper sheep is very stable. Whether it is pure - bred offspring or improved offspring, they all show excellent production performance and adaptability, especially the meat - production performance. The fat in the meat is evenly distributed, resulting in high - quality carcasses. The mutton carcasses produced with it as the sire are tender, juicy, fresh - colored, and have a high lean - meat rate.

[0033] The feeding method is pen - feeding. From late spring to late autumn, they can move freely between the pen and the shed during the day. From late autumn to the next late spring, the environmental temperature in the shed at night is not lower than 5°C, and the humidity is 30% - 50%.

[0034] The required forage and feed are as follows: the average amount of green hay is 0.5 kg / sheep·d, the silage is 4 kg / sheep·d, and the complete formulated concentrate powder is 0.5 kg / sheep·d.

[0035] The green hay consists of the following components in parts by mass: 60 - 70 parts of first - grade oat green hay and 30 - 40 parts of peanut vine.

[0036] The silage consists of the following raw materials in parts by mass: 70 - 75 parts of corn straw and 25 - 30 parts of alfalfa.

[0037] For the required concentrate, it is recommended to purchase the powder from Henan Jiaozuo Hefeng Feed Co., Ltd., 0.5 kg / sheep·d.

[0038] The reproductive performance of the ewes in the core flock of the meat - milk dual - purpose sheep suitable for hand - held mutton and the production performance of the female lambs are shown in Table 2.
