How can Chicheng County raise beef cattle well?
First plant high-quality and high-yielding pasture grass varieties, including:
Moisturizing grass; new bamboo grass; Taiwan sweet elephant grass; ryegrass, etc.
Winter and spring During the season, the weather suddenly gets cold, which brings inconvenience to beef cattle breeding. At this time, it is necessary to take measures to keep the cowshed warm. Always pay attention to the weather forecast, put down the rolling shutter door of the cowshed before it snows, and raise it again after the snowstorm, to ensure that the temperature inside the house is above 0℃ to avoid pneumonia caused by colds, especially calves with poor resistance, especially calves with poor resistance. Pay attention to the ventilation of the cowshed. In winter, cattle should be tied up in a leeward and sunny place to avoid eating grass covered with snow and swill during the Spring Festival, which may cause indigestion or diarrhea.
Cattle are herbivores, and their ability to digest and utilize crude fiber is higher than that of other livestock and poultry. They can make full use of straw feed and residue feed. However, straw feed should not be fed directly due to its rough texture and poor quality, especially long-term feeding in winter and spring, which is prone to digestive disorders. It should be fed to cattle after silage, ammoniation or micro-storage. Foreign studies have proven that feeding cattle 5kg of silage grass or 4kg of ammoniated wheat straw can be used as 1kg of concentrated feed, which not only utilizes the straw but also increases nutrition, getting the best of both worlds.
