The benefit of raising cattle in Liangshan "grain saving type" is high.

Zhang Fanchun, a farmer in Houzhang Village, Quanpu Town, Liangshan County, has built a large-scale "grain-saving" cattle farm, and beef cattle have been sold to more than 10 provinces and cities across the country, achieving obvious economic and social benefits.

Shuipoliang Mountain is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, facing the lake, rich in forage resources, raising Luxi yellow cattle, Simmental cattle, Limousin cattle, Charolais cattle and other cattle have unique advantages. Farmer Zhang Fanchun has set up a large-scale aquaculture plant, mainly by:

1. Scientific feeding of ammoniated feed made from crop straw.

Cattle should be fed with green grass and other necessary nutritious feed as far as possible. 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 18 to 24 months, or more than 500 kg after short-term intensive fattening. The crude protein content of rice straw and wheat straw can be increased by ammoniation, which can not only reduce the feeding cost, but also improve the economic benefit of raising cattle. Therefore, popularize the new straw treatment technologies such as straw silage, semi-dry silage and ammoniation, and popularize the straw "grain-saving" raising cattle.

Second, strict epidemic prevention.

The prevention of bovine diseases is also one of the keys to achieve high benefits in cattle raising. If disease prevention is not done well, all previous efforts will be wasted in early breeding. To prevent cow disease, in addition to doing a good job in the cleaning and disinfection of barns and cattle, ensuring the hygiene and safety of cattle feed and drinking water, and deworming, it is also necessary to do a good job in epidemic disease prevention and disease treatment. Daily regular removal of feces, noon ventilation, brushing the cattle, regularly led to the outside of the house to bask in the sun, strengthen the physique, help to gain weight and improve the economic benefits of farmers.

At present, Zhang Fanchun's "grain-saving" cattle farm raises more than 200 improved breeds of cattle, such as Luxi yellow cattle, Simmental cattle, Limousin cattle, Charolais cattle, and so on, and each beef cow can earn more than 4000 yuan, making it a veritable "king" of raising cattle.
