How can beef cattle be bred to maximize benefits? How to choose a good variety?

With China's continuous opening to beef imports, the future beef cattle breeding industry will enter the era of "global competition". China's beef cattle breeding industry must gradually make up for its current deficiencies in order to be in an invincible position in the fierce competition environment in the future. So, how can farmers maximize the benefits of the beef cattle industry? How to choose a good breed of cattle, and what tips do you need to master to raise cattle to get rich?

I. current situation and problems of aquaculture in China

1. The problem of beef cattle farmers

In the past, China's beef cattle industry was in the situation of producing and selling, but now this is not the case. we must understand what kind of beef cattle the market needs and what kind of breeding model can make money. Farmers need to change their way of thinking, first take a look at the more popular beef products on the market, what kind of beef is the best to sell and make the most money, raise what kind of cattle; whatever feed resources I have, raise what kind of cattle. If there is a kind of cow, we have it in our family, but not in their family, this is our differentiated and differentiated products, and we will have our own pricing power.

two。 Present situation of Beef cattle breeding

China is one of the countries with the largest number of cattle breeds in the world. Chinese people have a great demand for beef and there are many levels of market. It can be said that a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend. In fact, farmers do not have to consider whether they should sell their cattle to first-tier big cities. first of all, they should think of the second-and third-tier or even fourth-tier cities closer to the cattle farm, where there is more market space. Why would you say that? Because the one close to it is the lowest in cost. For example, if a county consumes 50 cattle a day, you can sell 3 cattle, and you can sell more than 1000 cattle a year, which is a lot of sales. Moreover, if a cow can be sold for 20,000 yuan and the profit is about 45%, the life of the farmers will be very good. But if you want to sell beef to a distant city, the transportation cost is very high and eat up your profits. Therefore, from another point of view, raising cattle is a very profitable industry.

At present, the treatment of manure is also an issue of great concern to the state. Can its resource utilization be maximized by the way of circular agriculture?

The integration of agriculture and animal husbandry that we are now advocating is not a new concept, but a farming method that our ancestors have used for thousands of years. Why did we not have the problem of dung in raising cattle before? this is because our own straw was fed to the cattle as fodder, and the cow dung produced by the cattle every day was fermented and returned to the field directly. This is a priceless treasure summed up by thousands of years of agricultural civilization in China, and it is also the lowest and most reasonable.

Second, for farmers, what scale benefits are the highest?

1. We all know that the scale of raising more than 50 cattle needs to be evaluated by environmental protection. therefore, the scale of raising at least 20 head and a maximum of 50 head is the most profitable. Why would you say that? First, your own straw can be used as feed, even if you need to buy straw from nearby villagers, the price is also relatively cheap. Second, the scale of raising 50 cattle does not need to build a cattle farm. Originally, beef cattle do not need a beautiful, high-end cattle farm, just build a bullpen, do not get caught in the rain, can eat and drink on the line, the investment is very small. Now some large cattle farms have not made any money, so they invest in high-cost high-end cattle sheds. As a result, the huge costs have dragged down the cattle farms.

two。 If it is difficult for a person to work in the cattle industry, you can find someone to work together, and the scale can reach 100 to 300 cattle. It is a very good form to form a cattle raising association or a small cooperative, and you can also work with your own characteristics. Large farming enterprises or large cattle farms, they can not do the characteristics, the market is ultimately determined by whether the beef is delicious or not. Therefore, if you want to operate a large-scale cattle farm, you must act according to your capacity on a certain basis.

Third, how to choose a good cattle breed?

1. There are more cattle breeds in our country than in any other country. There are 78 breeds of yellow cattle in our country, and 27 have been imported from abroad. But now many cattle farms use exotic varieties, such as Simmental, Limousin, Angus and Charolais. We have bred four new cattle breeds with these breeds. If listed from north to south, there are Yanbian yellow cattle, Liaoyu white cattle, Xiannan cattle and Yunnan Yunling cattle. These new varieties all have a common feature, that is, they are very large.

two。 For farmers, the cost pressure of raising oversized cattle is also great. On the other hand, these small and medium-sized yellow cattle breeds in our country have very strong resistance. "one side of the soil and water raises one side of the cattle." the local yellow cattle do not get sick all the year round, do not need careful care, and if they have grazing conditions, they will drive the cattle up the mountain in spring. You don't have to spend energy to take care of them. Drive them back to the cowshed before autumn and winter, and this farming method can make money almost at no cost.

Therefore, the advice to the peasant friends is: do not raise foreign cattle, just raise domestic small native cattle, small yellow cattle is very good. Don't look down on local calves. In fact, local cattle save money, effort and medical expenses. Beef is also suitable for local tastes and can better reflect local characteristics.

3. Raise a cow, if your own cow produces good milk, you can let your own cow act as a babysitter and raise a milking calf. It's like bringing another baby. In that case, one cow is equivalent to giving birth to two cows. Where can I buy a calf to breast-feed? Just buy the rest of the bulls from the dairy. As soon as the calf falls to the ground, it is basically 3000, and when you eat your milk and grow up, you sell it for 8000, and you can earn 4000 yuan. This is a lot of money, so that you can give full play to your cow's ability to make money.
