How can Chicheng County raise beef cattle well?

Moisturize the grass; Pennisetum neoformans; Elephant grass in Taiwan Province Province; Ryegrass, etc

In winter and spring, cold weather brings inconvenience to beef cattle breeding. At this time, we should do a good job of keeping warm in the barn. Always pay attention to the weather forecast, put down the shutter door of the barn before it snows, and then raise it after the snowstorm to ensure that the temperature of the barn is above 0℃ to avoid pneumonia caused by a cold. Calves should pay attention to keep warm, especially when their resistance is poor, and pay special attention to the ventilation of cowshed. In winter, the cows should be tied to the lee and the sun to avoid eating snow-covered grass and swill during the Spring Festival, so as to avoid indigestion or diarrhea.

Cattle are herbivores, and their digestion and utilization ability of crude fiber is higher than that of other livestock and poultry, and they can make full use of straw feed and residue feed. However, straw feed is coarse in texture and poor in quality, so it is not suitable for direct feeding, especially in winter and spring, which is prone to digestive disorders. Cattle should be fed after silage, ammoniation or micro-storage. Foreign studies have proved that feeding cows with 5kg silage or 4kg ammoniated wheat straw can support 1kg concentrate, which not only makes use of straw, but also increases nutrition, and has the best of both worlds.
