Daily Management measures during fattening period of Beef cattle

1. Brush the cattle and exercise properly during the breeding period

1. Brushing can keep cattle clean, promote skin metabolism and blood circulation, increase feed intake, which is beneficial to cattle management. It must be scrubbed regularly twice a day and brushed in the playground after the cattle have been fed.

2. Shelf cattle are fattened in stages, and proper exercise (free exercise in the playground) can promote the development of digestive organs and bones in the early stage. The middle period is fastened to the wooden stake, and the cow can make rotational movement, and the rope length of 0.5 meters in the later stage is short to limit its squatting fat, so that the cow can only stand up and down or sleep, but can not move around.

3. Cattle rest at night and feed in the barn during the day. Let the cattle bask in the sun for 4 hours every day. Sunbathing has a good effect on skin metabolism and the growth and development of cattle, with good coat, easy fattening and fast weight gain.

2. Keep the barn warm, prevent heat and keep it dry and clean

1, the cowshed is high and dry, sitting north to the south, the closed work of the house or the construction of open shed type (summer generation awning, winter plastic sheeting for greenhouse type). Clean the feces and urine frequently and keep them dry and clean. Good ventilation.

2. The density of the barn should not be too high in winter to prevent crowding and dampness, keep the body clean and prevent parasitic disease (ringworm). In the hot summer season, shade sheds should be built at the front of the barn or in the sports ground to avoid direct exposure and prevent heatstroke. The temperature above 25 ℃ in summer and below 6 ℃ in winter significantly affected the fattening and weight gain of cattle.

Third, observe the cattle frequently and weigh the cattle on time.

1. The breeder should pay attention to the sanitary condition of feed trough, cow body, forage and drinking water, and clean the ground every day. Observe the feeding, ruminating and defecation of cattle, and deal with them in time if there are any abnormalities.

2. Regular weighing, recording and cost accounting. During the fattening period, beef cattle are usually weighed once a month. At the end of the month or the beginning of the month, weighing is carried out on an empty stomach in the morning, and records are made. The fattening results and economic benefits were calculated according to weight gain and forage consumption.

Fourth, adhere to regular disinfection and epidemic prevention to ensure the safety of cattle.

1. Field doors, production areas, cattle entrances and exits, disinfection ponds, and the solution is often changed (2% sodium hydroxide solution). Personnel and vehicles entering and leaving the gate should be disinfected.

2. The barn is cleaned every day and sterilized once a month. Major disinfection is carried out in the production area in spring and autumn every year. Commonly used disinfectants are 10-20% quicklime milk, 2-Mel 5% caustic soda solution, 0.5% peracetic acid solution, 3% formalin solution, 1% potassium permanganate solution.

3. Timely isolation of suspected infectious diseases, prevention and vaccination should be done well. Injection of emphysema formaldehyde alum vaccine, anthrax vaccine, tetanus vaccine, foot-and-mouth disease vaccine, Clostridium welchii inactivated vaccine and so on.
