Scientific technology of raising cattle

Raising cattle, especially beef cattle, is a good way for farmers to get rich, but if they want to achieve high efficiency, they must be raised scientifically and managed carefully. The following are the techniques that should be mastered in raising cattle scientifically.

Ensure an excellent growth environment

To raise cattle, we should first set up the cowshed equipment, make the cowshed which is warm in winter and cool in summer according to local conditions, and keep warm in winter to keep it above 5 ℃. Regularly clear feces every day, ventilate at noon, brush the cattle, regularly take them to the outside to warm the children, strengthen their physique, and help to gain weight.

Be sure to choose and raise improved cattle

Choosing good breeds of cattle for breeding is the key to getting good benefits, because improved breeds of cattle are not only of good meat quality, fast growth, high feed reward, good sale, and low incidence of disease. It is necessary to change the practice of carrying out progressive hybridization for many years, and actively introduce Limousin, Simmental and other varieties to carry out three-way hybridization, so as to constantly improve the effect of improvement and economic benefits. Never think that local cattle are already very good and do not pay attention to breed improvement. breed improvement should be carried out constantly, breed improvement should be carried out when cattle prices are high, and breed improvement should be carried out even when cattle prices are cheap. if possible, we should only promote the new skills of frozen semen mating. In particular, it should be noted that hybrid bulls can not be used to mate, because hybrid bulls are tall and powerful, but their heredity is uncertain, which can easily lead to close relative reproduction, offspring degeneration and low economic benefits.

Scientific feeding

Raising cattle should only allow them to eat green grass and supplement other necessary nutritional fodder. In order to improve the benefit of raising cattle, it is necessary to start with calf breeding, especially to do a good job of supplementary feeding in the first and second winter and spring, so that their body weight can reach about 300 kg at the age of 12 to 24 months, or more than 500 kg after short-term fattening. The crude protein content of rice straw and wheat straw can be increased after ammoniation, which can not only reduce the feeding cost, but also improve the economic benefit of raising cattle. Therefore, great efforts should be made to popularize new straw treatment skills such as straw silage, semi-dry silage and ammoniation, and to popularize straw raising cattle. The addition of ammonium nitrate is a useful way to solve the shortage of protein feed in China. Urea phosphate and ruminal hormone can increase daily gain and feed conversion rate by 10% to 15%, and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can increase feed utilization rate by more than 12%. Urease inhibitors developed and popularized in recent years also have outstanding weight gain effect. In addition, a variety of vitamins, mineral things, trace elements and other new additives can be used.

Do a good job of deworming and disease prevention

Cattle are often infected with a variety of parasites in vivo and in vitro due to grazing and contact with the ground.
