How to manage the yellow calf in Luxi

Luxi yellow cattle is a herbivorous ruminant, belonging to one of the four Central Plains yellow cattle breeds in China, produced in Shandong, Jining and other areas. Luxi yellow cattle are large in size, have stable genetic performance, are resistant to roughage and are easy to manage. It can be cultivated or eaten, and it is also one of the more famous breeds of beef cattle in the world. It is also very popular in our country, so how to manage the calf in the process of breeding? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Weaning management

The body of Luxi yellow cattle is very tall, the forelimbs are well developed, and the muscles are very well developed. In the past, the farming cattle, which used to be the main farming name, have gradually withdrawn as they are getting closer and closer to agricultural mechanization. Now it is mainly used for meat breeding. The calves of Luxi yellow cattle are generally fed for about half a year, and they will begin to abstain from milk after half a year, in order to prepare for the next birth of the cow. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the timely weaning of the calf, and if it is being fed half a year later, it is necessary to raise the calf separately from the cow.

2. Replenish materials in time

Feed and water the calves as soon as possible when they are born, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the cows during feeding. During the 30 days of its birth, the milk of the cow can meet the nutrition and water needed for the growth of the calf. However, after 30 days, it is necessary to add an appropriate amount of feed to the calf, because to prevent the calf from over-relying on mother's milk, to prepare for later weaning, and to let the calf slowly adapt to the feed, the later weaning work becomes relatively simple. But it should be noted that when feeding more grass, try to avoid roughage, because the calf's digestive system is not perfect, the digestion of roughage is a bit difficult, it should be added appropriately according to the growth of the calf.

3. Reasonable exercise

In the calf 1-2 weeks after birth, to give the calf full freedom of movement space, an appropriate amount of increase in breeding density, it is best to let the calf outside for running, exercise. Because this can effectively increase the tension of the meat of Luxi yellow cattle, strengthen the quality of beef, but also improve the disease resistance of cattle, strengthen the physique of cattle, make cattle more and more healthy, so that their appetite will be greatly increased. But in winter, because the temperature is low, the cattle can not leave the barn, we should pay attention to heat preservation to prevent colds.

4. Disease prevention and treatment

In the process of raising Luxi yellow cattle, we must pay special attention to the hygiene of the barn, clean up the feces in time, pay attention to the hygiene of the calf, reduce the pathogen of the barn and reduce the incidence of calves. Because the calf is the most fragile in the whole growth process, when the defense system is the worst, if the environment is still very unclean and hygienic, it will increase the incidence of the calf and have a great impact on the normal growth and development of the calf. in serious cases, it can even make the calf die. Therefore, the hygiene of the barn is very important, and we must pay special attention to it when raising it.

The above four points are the calf management methods for raising Luxi yellow cattle. Calves are the most vulnerable and most susceptible to disease, so people should be vaccinated at least twice a year when breeding. Vaccination in spring and autumn every year can well control the occurrence of the disease. Regular inspection every day, find any abnormal situation should be checked in time to take relative measures. For more information, please continue to follow the pro-agricultural network.
