It is very cold in winter. Do cattle need to be supplemented with feed to keep fat in cold weather?

Cold enough to freeze, turn into frost and fall into ice. In such cold weather, the Northeast officially entered the Cat Winter Festival. However, cattle breeders can't stop cats from getting up early every day to raise cattle. How to prevent cattle from growing taller in winter in such a cold day? We need to do the following three things: first, make the envelope warm and cold in time; Secondly, supplement concentrated feed in time; Finally, clean up the feces and disinfect them in time.

It is necessary to talk about the warmth and coldness of the cowshed. The wind around the cowshed should be considered, and the cowshed should be kept tight to prevent cold air from entering the cowshed. Jilin cattle are in good health and are not afraid of cold or cold wind. The invasion of cold air will amplify the power of cold air, so wind protection must be the main goal of keeping the fence warm and cold, so that cows will be very comfortable in the fence and their growth will not be affected by the invasion of cold air. In addition, the fence should be paved with soft hay, so that the cows lying on the hay will not be frostbitten by direct contact with the cold ground. The thickness of the mat grass depends on the actual situation, and thicker is better, which can better isolate the chill of the ground and play a vital role in the health of cattle.

Cattle need a lot of energy to resist the cold in winter, so they need to increase the amount of concentrate. Generally, the concentrated feed for cattle is that corn, soybean meal and bran are mixed at the ratio of 7:2: 1 and then crushed, and then the adult Niu Yi feeds about 8 kilograms a day, and the two-year-old Niu Yi feeds about 6 kilograms a day. It depends on the size and cold degree of the cow. After all, different cows need different amounts of concentrated feed. The feeding amount given above is only a suggestion. Try not to feed coarse grains to frozen grass. Hay is the best roughage for cattle in winter, and it does not need to consume energy to heat frozen grass. Pay attention to drinking water when it is particularly cold in winter. It is best to give warm water to the cows. Generally, 25-35 degrees Celsius is the most comfortable drinking temperature for dairy cows. If the water temperature is too low, drinking water below 5 degrees will consume a lot of energy. This can easily lead to serious weight loss of dairy cows. When the concentrate supply and drinking water temperature are adjusted, there is basically no problem for cattle to spend the winter.

What needs to be done is to clean up the manure in the cowshed in time, because the cowshed is closed in winter and the air quality inside is very poor. If the feces are not cleaned for a long time, it will further increase the air quality burden in the fence. If ammonia gas exceeds the standard seriously, it will directly blind the respiratory system and eyes of cattle. So be sure to pay attention to the cleanliness and timely ventilation of the pen. Because the enclosure is closed and the virus multiplies quickly, it is very important to kill regularly to ensure the health of cattle is not affected. It is best to disinfect once a week and use more than three kinds of potions in turn to disinfect, which can effectively kill the virus and greatly protect the health of cattle.
