Matters needing attention in fattening Beef cattle

With the continuous progress of society, breeding technology is also in continuous progress, many farmers in order to shorten the breeding cycle, so that cattle can be listed very quickly, but also to ensure body weight and increase economic benefits, will choose to fatten beef cattle. However, during the fattening period, there are also many areas that need to be paid attention to in order to make beef cattle grow quickly and well and maximize their benefits. let's take a look at the matters needing attention in fattening beef cattle.

1. Choose the right fattening population.

The breed and body shape of beef cattle are very important for the fattening effect. In addition to selecting beef cattle with good breeds for fattening, other conditions should also be considered. For example, shelf cattle fattening, to choose a suitable age, generally 1.5-2-year-old shelf cattle in fattening 3-4 months can be out of the fence, and obtain greater economic benefits. When choosing, it is best to choose uncastrated beef cattle, that is, uncastrated cattle, at this time, because the testicles of bulls secrete testosterone during growth, participate in blood production and metabolism, and promote calcium balance in beef cattle. Accelerate growth and improve feed conversion rate, and good meat quality, high lean meat rate, less fat. Therefore, it is best to choose bulls when fattening, but those over two years old should be castrated, otherwise the meat quality will be affected.

2. Provide a suitable breeding environment.

Environmental factors also have a great impact on beef cattle. When beef cattle are fattening, it is necessary to improve the suitable growth environment of beef cattle, which can promote the growth and weight gain of beef cattle and achieve the best effect of fattening. First of all, we must ensure that the barn is hygienic and clean, the ground must be dry, it should not be wet and dark, the ventilation condition should be good, the house should be cleaned in time, the feces and dirt of beef cattle should be disposed of in time every day, and the bedding grass should be changed frequently. The environment of the enclosure should be quiet so as not to disturb the beef cattle, and the enclosure should be disinfected regularly to reduce the invasion of pathogens.

3. Reasonable feeding

When fattening beef cattle, the proportion of feed must be balanced, and a mixture of coarse, concentrate and dry materials can be used to improve the palatability of beef cattle, increase appetite and promote growth. When fattening, some additives can also be added to the feed, such as vitamins, calcium and other trace elements, which is beneficial to the growth of beef cattle and improve the utilization rate of feed. The principle of feeding is to add less frequently, so that beef cattle compete for food without anorexia, so that they can eat more. When fattening in summer, the temperature is higher and the appetite of beef cattle decreases slightly. At this time, it is necessary to avoid the high temperature at noon. Try to increase the amount of food in the morning and evening.

4. Do a good job in disease prevention and control and deworming

During fattening, diseases and parasites play an important role in fattening beef cattle. Daily observation should be done every day to observe the spirit, diet and defecation of beef cattle. Once abnormal is found, we should find the cause in time and prescribe the right medicine. In addition, often wipe the cow body, can promote blood circulation, eliminate body surface parasites, parasites in the body should be timely deworming, in the spring and autumn two seasons to timely deworming, can be carried out with efficient, low-toxic drugs.
