What kind of grass do cattle, sheep, horses and pigs mainly eat and grow fast?

If you want cattle, sheep and pigs to fatten and gain weight, you should not only eat enough high-quality forage grass, but also add nutritious concentrate, and to raise all kinds of poultry, you must first plant good grass. What grass do cattle, sheep, horses and pigs mainly eat and grow fast?

Feed the cow

Mexican corn, alfalfa, tall fescue, Pennisetum equisetum and Sudan grass can be selected, but succulent leaf forage with high crude fiber content should not be planted. Mexican corn is suitable for planting in areas with annual rainfall of more than 800 mm and frost-free period of more than 180 days, and can be cut once a month when the plant height is 1.5 meters. Forage dry matter contains 9.5% crude protein, 2.6% crude fat and 27.3% crude fiber. The stems and leaves are crisp, tender and juicy, sweet and palatable, and are also suitable for silage or hay preparation.

Feed the sheep

Can choose alfalfa, forage corn, grain amaranth, clover, winter mu 70 ryegrass and so on. The perennial legume alfalfa is the first choice for raising sheep in withered period, which likes semi-arid climate and strong drought resistance, so it is suitable for raising goats in mountainous areas. Alfalfa is known as the "king of forage". It not only has high grass yield and good grass quality, but also is rich in protein, vitamins and inorganic salts. Usually 4m / 5kg fresh grass can be dried into 1kg hay. It is also suitable to beat alfalfa powder into pellet feed or prepare full-price feed. It should be noted that sheep are resistant to rough feeding and should be fed with coarse fodder with high crude fiber content such as corn straw.

Feed pigs

Rumex, cross-leaf pine vanilla, aggregate grass, grain amaranth, bitter thistle, purple yunying, sweet clover and so on are all suitable for feeding pigs. Rumex and Pinus elliottii are perennial herbs with strong adaptability to planting area, deep roots and luxuriant leaves, strong regeneration, no land competition with grain and cash crops, high digestibility and suitable for monogastric animals such as pigs. When the plant grows to 70 Mel 90 cm high, the harvest is 3 Mel 4 times a year, the whole leaf can be fed to the pig, or it can be cut into 3 cm segments and mixed with corn straw meal at 3:1 to achieve complementary nutritional advantages, but no matter which kind of feeding method, the amount of feeding should not be too much, so as not to affect the intake of concentrate.

Feed the rabbit

Chicory, Italian ryegrass, bitter cabbage, sweet clover, alfalfa king, pennisetum and so on can be selected, especially chicory. Chicory is a perennial herb of Compositae, which is resistant to cold and heat, and has lax requirements on soil. It can be used continuously for more than 10 years after one sowing, and has strong disease resistance. Cut when the plant height is 50 cm, cut once every 30 days, the fresh grass can be produced more than 150000 kg per hectare, the palatability is excellent, it can better satisfy the rabbit's habit of eating fresh grass, and can be mixed with sweet clover, alfalfa powder, etc., the amount of forage grass should account for 50% of the total feed.

Feed the goose

Geese are resistant to rough feeding, and the forage grasses suitable for feeding are Russian fodder (aggregate grass), pine vanilla, grain amaranth, tall fescue, chicory and so on. Russian cuisine is a kind of perennial Polygonaceae forage which is cold-resistant and high-temperature resistant in recent years. It can be planted in barren hills, idle plots and riverside, and can be interplanted with fruit trees and economic forests. In the northern region, it can be mowed 5 times in spring, summer and autumn, and 6 times in the southern region. The yield is 900 million tons per hectare, and the yield per 667 square meters can meet the need of one young feed for 130 geese. When feeding, it can be reasonably matched with the forage of other families and genera mentioned above, and the effect of mixed feed is better.

Feed the chicken

No matter laying hens or broilers, it is not suitable to eat a large amount of forage grass because of their physiological characteristics. However, farmers raising chickens on a small scale can appropriately choose some stem and leaf forage leaves in the summer and autumn season, such as chicory, bitter cabbage, Russian food and even Chinese cabbage and sweet potato leaves to promote balanced absorption of nutrients.

Raising pigs

European chicory, rosewood, sowthistle, American grain amaranth, Rumex, kmur1, alfalfa, Mexican corn, Gaodan grass, sainfoin grass and other forage grasses have relatively comprehensive nutritional components. In terms of dry matter, the crude protein content is higher, generally more than 12%, the highest can reach 30%, and the types of amino acids are complete and the utilization rate is high, which can make up for the shortcomings of incomplete types of protein and amino acids in cereal feed. It is also rich in vitamins and inorganic salts, low crude fiber content, easy digestion, good palatability, high land yield per unit area, low production cost and a wide range of sources.

Select forage grasses according to breeding projects

1. Chicory, alfalfa, aggregate grass, grain amaranth and bitter cabbage are used for raising pigs.

two。 Pennisetum, alfalfa, chicory, Rumex, ryegrass, Mexican corn, Sudan grass and Gaodan grass are selected for raising cattle and sheep.

3. The first choice for fish culture: Mexican corn, Gaodan grass, Sudan grass, pennisetum, alfalfa, ryegrass, clover.

4. The forage grasses suitable for raising geese are chicory, alfalfa, pennisetum, Russian fodder, Rumex, Mexican corn, Ixeris angustifolia and so on.

5. Chicken can be selected: chicory, alfalfa, sowthistle is the best choice, shredded feeding to promote balanced absorption of nutrients, sowthistle can also prevent poultry disease.

6. The first choice for raising rabbits is chicory, alfalfa, pennisetum, ryegrass, bitter cabbage, Mexican corn, especially chicory. Alfalfa is better. Forage feed should account for 50% of the total feed.

7. The first choice for locust breeding is Pennisetum, ryegrass, Mexican corn, Sudan grass and Gaodan grass. Fresh grass can not be directly beaten into feed particles, should be dried and crushed and mixed with other concentrates to make pellets.
