Matters needing attention in Yak breeding

Yak is a unique breed of cattle on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, and it is also one of the magic weapons for Tibetan survival. With the current prosperity of the yak market, people from many parts of our country slowly go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to raise yaks. Because they have no experience, the effect is not always ideal. Today, the pro-agriculture network will introduce to you the important problems of yak breeding.

1. Daily management

The construction of the bullpen should change with time. Generally speaking, cold protection in winter and ventilation in summer are the most common treatment methods. We should pay attention to pest prevention every day, and the most common occurrence of yaks is cowhide flies, so we must check carefully and vaccinate them on time when they are kept in captivity. Many people think that yaks grow in cold areas, so they don't care if they have strong resistance. this concept is grossly wrong. Every day, we must pay attention to the wetness of the barn, which many friends will not pay attention to, if the barn is too wet, it will seriously frostbite yaks. At night, we should also pay attention to guard against sneak attacks by wild creatures, which is very common in Xizang.

2. Matters needing attention in grazing and raising

When raising yaks, we must pay attention to the distance before the near, that is, we can go far away for grazing in normal weather, which is beneficial to maintain the amount of exercise of the yaks, improve their cold resistance and health, and then graze themselves far away from grazing in inconvenience. Secondly, for the sake of a balanced diet of yaks, while grazing and feeding forage, it is best to buy some coarse grains such as wheat stalks or rice husks. Avoid some problems caused by feeding in yaks.

3. Alternating treatment in winter and spring

The alternation of winter and spring is a period of time when yak farming is most prone to problems, and many farmers do not handle it properly at this time, resulting in serious losses. Generally speaking, spring has just arrived, and the snow water in many parts of Tibet has not melted, so it is easy for yaks to drink ice water when going out for grazing, thus harming the health of yaks, so be sure to prepare enough warm water for yaks to drink before going out for grazing. Secondly, after grazing, the yak house must be covered with grass to ensure its temperature to avoid frostbite. Try to check the barn on winter nights to see if the yaks have frostbite.

Yak breeding should pay more attention to maintaining the body temperature of yaks, so we should not ignore this core point. Secondly, it is best to feed cows with hot water combined with coarse grains to speed up the recovery of female yaks.
