The following are the precautions for raising cattle in summer

Summer can be said to be the best time to feed cattle. Abundant forage grass and plenty of water in summer can give better nutrition to cattle and make our cattle healthier, but raising cattle in summer also needs to pay attention to some problems. If it is not raised properly, it may lead to some other problems. The following editor sorted out some points for attention in summer cattle raising. I hope that farmers in need can learn more about this article.

Pay attention to the intake of harmful substances

1. Pay attention to the intake of some harmful substances. Sometimes we may be busy and hoard more feed for the cattle at one time, so that we can wait until the cattle are hungry and eat slowly, and it can also reduce our time. But on the surface, it does improve our breeding efficiency, but in fact, the loss outweighs the gain.

2. Because the content of toxic and harmful substances such as nitrite in some substances such as cabbage leaves that are too long increases slowly. If these substances are ingested by our cattle, they will be poisoned slowly. If they are mild, they will lose their appetite in diarrhea, and if they are serious, they may cause death. Therefore, this phenomenon must be paid enough attention by our breeders.

3. The food in the feed bucket should be eaten enough and should not be put more, especially in summer when the temperature is high and the food is more prone to decay and deterioration, so we must pay enough attention to it. In addition, when we feed cattle, we should not feed corn seedlings and sorghum seedlings and other foods, these foods also have substances harmful to the cattle themselves, eating too much will also cause toxic reactions.

Second, avoid overfeeding

In addition, in the process of feeding cattle, we should not feed too much tender grass, because although the tender grass is fresh and succulent, and the protein content is also very high, it contains a kind of soap group which is harmful to cattle, which will damage the gastric mucosa of cattle and bring irreversible damage to cattle, especially the calves whose gastrointestinal function is not fully developed and fragile, let alone eat more.

Third, check and repair loopholes

There are more Rain Water in summer and the temperature is relatively high, so before summer comes, we have to check whether there are loopholes in doors and windows, which need to be repaired in time to prevent torrential rain from entering the cowshed to cause cold, and timely ventilation. Summer faeces must be cleaned up in time, otherwise the high temperature may reflect the production of ammonia, endangering the health of our farmers and cattle. Drinking water must be well prepared in summer, keep fresh air in the house, and you can also take the cattle for a walk on the shady hillside, which is more beneficial to the growth of cattle.

The above are some points for attention about raising cattle in summer explained by the editor. Although summer is a very suitable season for cattle growth, some seasonal limitations such as temperature and heavy rain may also bring certain harm to cattle. This requires us breeders to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, strictly control the freshness and nutritional balance of feed, and take special care of newborn calves. We should not feed some substances that are harmful to the cattle, let alone feed the cattle too much feed for the sake of leisure, so the toxic and harmful substances produced by the moldy and deteriorated feed will bring irreversible harm to our cattle.
