How many cattle can be raised on one mu of land? What should you pay attention to in raising cattle?

Cattle are raised in many rural areas and have been good helpers and friends of farmers since ancient times. So how many cattle can be raised on an acre of land? What do you need to pay attention to in raising cattle?

How many cattle can be raised on one or one mu of land?

One mu of forage grass can raise about 15-20. Due to the high economic benefits of raising cattle, there is a significant increase in the number of farmers raising cattle sporadically. If you can make use of sporadic open spaces, properly plant some suitable forage grass. Although one mu of land can raise so many cattle, we must pay attention to the supply of wood and sow the seeds of forage grass for sustainable development.

II. Matters needing attention in raising cattle

1. Environmental protection. At present, the aquaculture industry pays more and more attention to the issue of environmental protection, and many places are divided into prohibited areas and restricted areas. Before building a cattle farm, it is best to consult the local animal husbandry department and the environmental protection department whether it is allowed to build a cattle farm, as well as construction standards and environmental protection facilities requirements, and then carry out construction in accordance with the requirements to avoid the risk of being demolished after construction.

two。 The problem of buying cattle. There is no sufficient supply of cattle in many places, so cattle farmers need to go out to buy calves, but there is a greater risk of going out to buy calves. one is the problem of being deceived. Some cattle traders and cattle agents will tempt cattle farmers to buy cattle through low-price publicity. When they buy cattle, not only the price is much higher than the advertised price, but they will fill it with small, inferior quality, etc., cattle farmers spend a high price but it is difficult to buy good cattle. The second is the problem of stress reaction. Cattle are particularly prone to problems after long-distance transportation, environmental changes and changes in feeding and management, and even a large number of casualties may bring greater economic losses to cattle farmers. Cattle farmers must choose larger healthy calves when buying cattle, and strengthen prevention and feeding transition after arrival, as long as there are no big problems in the previous month, raising them will be relatively smooth.

3. Feed problem. Cattle are large in size and fast in growth, and their demand for feed is also large. A fattening cow needs to consume at least 5100 jin of roughage (dry matter) and 3000 jin of concentrate, of which concentrate is relatively easy to buy corn, soybean meal and other raw materials for self-allocation, while roughage is relatively difficult to solve, because the crop harvest season is only a few days, after the season can not get enough roughage need to buy After the season, the price of roughage will have to double, so that the benefits of raising cattle will be greatly reduced.

4. The disease. Although the disease resistance of cattle is relatively strong, in recent years, affected by factors such as cross-regional transportation of live cattle, cow diseases have become more and more. First of all, we must prevent the three major infectious diseases of foot-and-mouth disease, bovine lung disease and cattle failure. Prevention mainly depends on vaccination. Secondly, we must prevent severe digestive tract diseases, such as indigestion, forestomach retardation, rumen flatulence, valvular obstruction and so on, which is mainly related to feeding and management. Finally, parasitic diseases must be prevented and should be dewormed 2 or 4 times a year. Ivermectin can be injected subcutaneously and albendazole (or levamisole) can be taken orally.

Although most rural areas will raise cattle, but these precautions must be careful, so that fat cattle can be raised healthily.
