Electric shearing practice spreads in Arkhangai aimag
映像
The Mongolian National
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MNCCI) in partnership with the Association of
German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) has been implementing the Pro
Value project in Arkhangai aimag that leads the country in the number of sheep
(2.9 million sheep) since 2015 to promote added value creation in wool value
chains.
As part of the project,
a shearing and dipping facility was established in the 6th bag of
the aimag’s Erdenebulgan soum and such facilities have been built in other
soums of the aimag, providing sheep shearing training for herders. Recently,
locals of 6 soums including Khotont, Khashaat, and Ugiinuur, participated in a
training session.
Head of MNCCI Arkhangai
office Ch.Munkhbat “As part of the Pro Value
project, demonstration training sessions on how to shear sheep using electric
clippers have been provided for more than 100 people since 2015. The most recent
one on how to shear sheep using electric clippers and dip sheep was provided
for herders from Khotont, Khashaat, Ugiinuur, Ulziit, Battsengel, and Khairkhan
soums in a partnership between MNCCI and DIHK”.
The traditional way of
shearing takes 20-30 minutes on average, while electric shearing takes 2-5
minutes. Those involved in the project say the use of electric clippers not
only make the shearing easier for herders, but also prevent the wool from
getting dirty and that brings many other advantages such as increasing the
herders’ income.
Head of Food and
Agriculture Department of Arkhangai aimag P.Gombodorj “The
electric shearing practice was introduced to Erdenebulgan soum of Arkhangai
aimag first in 2017. Following the example, sheep dipping tubs have been
installed at over 180 sites. This is how the herders of Arkhangai aimag are
easily shearing their sheep using electric clippers and dipping them together
in summertime”.
By learning to shear
their sheep following accordance with safety instructions, herders are making
the process easier for themselves and saving time. The method also has been
increasing the yields of industrial standard wool and the sheep dipping that
comes immediately after shearing allows the prevention of infectious animal
diseases.
