Six skills of feeding cattle scientifically

Ingenious arrangement of food intake

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. We should not only feed well during the day, but also feed an additional trough at night, feeding 13,15kg of grass a day.

Skillful collocation of forage grass

Feeding cattle in winter should try to achieve a variety of forage grass, short grass with long grass, high-quality grass with secondary grass, such as wheat straw, rice straw with green hay, peanut seedlings, alfalfa and so on.

Skillful treatment of straw

Single forage grass and lack of nutrition can easily lead to steak fat loss, while ammoniated forage grass is soft, aromatic and easy to digest. If the straw is ammoniated, cattle not only like to eat but also easy to gain fat.

Skillful feeding of urea

Urea is an important measure to supplement protein, which can be fed properly in winter. Generally, calves over 6 months old are fed 40g / d, fattening cattle / day 70g / d, and adult cows / day 150g / day. Urea palatability is poor, can be mixed with concentrate according to 1%, mixed with grass feeding, can not drink water within half an hour after feeding.

Skillfully match with materials

Feed concentrate with soft and hard materials, such as corn, soybeans and other hard materials and bran, powder and other soft materials when feeding. At first, feed the grass first, add less when you are full, add more when you are about to be full, and add fragrant ingredients, such as stir-fried soybeans, grind and arrange them in the grass. Although there is no grass, the cattle can have a full meal.

Drinking water is skillfully heated

You can't give cold water to cattle in winter, you should drink warm water. Ice water should be heated before drinking for cattle.
