There is an ingenious way to make beef cattle fat in cold season.

Beef cattle breeding

The cold weather in winter and the lack of green feed are very disadvantageous to the fat gain of beef cattle. However, as long as the combination of concentrate and roughage is scientific and the method of feeding and management is proper, the beef cattle can still grow and develop rapidly and gain fat in the cold season in winter.

1. The heat preservation performance of the cowshed should be good. The barn should not leak, airtight, the ground is not wet, clean and hygienic. If the room temperature is more than 5 ℃, it is best to keep it at 10 ℃-18 ℃.

2. Scientific ingredients are carefully fed. Feed is the material basis for fattening cattle. In order to make the beef cattle eat well, the feed must be matched scientifically and rationally. The dietary formula is as follows: 10 kg of high-quality hay, 7 kg of distiller's grains, 3.5 kg of corn flour, 0.5 kg of bean cake, 100 g of urea and 50 g of salt. Feed them three times a day, that is, at 6 a.m., 12:00 and 6 p.m. It is necessary to feed coarse feed first and then concentrate feed, adding less frequently, 80% to 90% full each time, which is helpful for cattle to maintain a strong appetite in the next feeding.

3. Provide adequate drinking water. In winter, cattle mainly eat hay, so they should provide plenty of drinking water. Insufficient drinking water not only affects the intake of cattle, but also affects the digestion and absorption of feed, making cattle hair, dry skin and low spirits. As the saying goes: grass full, material power, water spirit, we can see the importance of water supply. The supply of water should be clean, the temperature should be suitable, and 20 ℃ should be suitable.

4. Bask in the sun and brush the cow body frequently. At noon when it is windy and sunny, take the cow out to bask in the sun and wipe the cow at the same time. In this way, it can not only prevent the occurrence of skin diseases and external parasitic diseases, but also promote blood circulation and enhance the resistance of beef cattle to cold.

5. The effect of supplementing compound feed is doubled. Corn 10%, dried melon 10%, sorghum 8%, cruller (bean cake, cottonseed cake, peanut cake, etc.) 10%, wheat bran 60%, bone meal 1.5% and salt 0.5%. The above-mentioned feed is crushed and wet with water to make it bonded, and then dried in the sun to become irregular and not very strong pellet formula feed. This kind of feed is crisp and palatable, and cattle like it very much.
