How to raise a buffalo

Buffalo is a common breed of cattle in rural areas of our country. The physique of adult buffalo is much larger than that of ordinary yellow cattle, but buffalo is a very docile animal. So what do you usually pay attention to when raising buffaloes? How to raise a buffalo? Next, let's get to know it together with the pro-agriculture network.

1. Construction of cowshed

The barn of the buffalo will be much simpler, because the buffalo is a kind of cattle that prefers the open environment, so each barn in the barn is larger. Generally, 3-4 buffaloes are placed in each bullpen, and the size of a bullpen is controlled at about 16 square meters. The ventilation in the barn must be good, otherwise the buffalo is easily depressed and does not eat. Secondly, a pool or mud pool must be prepared outside the field to facilitate the daily irregularly letting the buffalo take a bath and increase the vitality of the buffalo. The sun must be sheltered well. Buffaloes hate the hot environment.

2. Feeding and management

When raising buffalo, we must keep in mind the key point of "forage is the main feed and feed is the supplement". During daily feeding, we can put the forage on the feeding ground, and the forage should not be chopped up as far as possible, so that it is best to chew it off independently when eating. The feed should not be too broken, but should be larger, so that it is convenient for the buffalo to eat. Every feeding must be accompanied by clear water. If conditions permit, a certain amount of water can be sprayed on the buffalo after each meal, which will accelerate the absorption of the school beauty of the buffalo. Protein feed is one of the important aspects of buffalo, so the feeding of bean products must be in place. Some other trace elements can be supplemented appropriately according to the situation.

3. Disease prevention

Buffalo will not easily be infected with any disease, but easy infection is very difficult to cure, so the initial all aspects of the vaccine must be in place. Bovine charcoal jaundice, cattle failure and flatulence are all common diseases of buffalo. Bovine charcoal jaundice is caused by infectious diseases, which mostly occurs in summer. The second charcoal jaundice spore vaccine can effectively prevent and cure it. There will be a sharp rise in body temperature when cattle suffer from septic disease, and bovine aluminum hydroxide formaldehyde vaccine has a good therapeutic effect on this disease. Flatulence is mostly caused by eating deteriorated forage, which is characterized by not eating and getting bigger, so just pay attention to it when feeding.

4. Matters needing attention in breeding

Buffalo breeding compared with other cattle breeding will have a certain gap, buffalo is not recommended for long-term captivity, need to be released properly, especially in summer. Secondly, the buffalo is resistant to high temperature. because the buffalo's sweat glands are underdeveloped, the water buffalo has a high demand for water, and they need to cool down. If the temperature is low, people will find that the water buffalo will not have a particularly high demand for water. Finally, we should not use ice water or snow water on the buffalo, which is very harmful to the buffalo.

The above are some aspects that should be paid attention to in raising buffaloes. When raising buffaloes, they must be prepared for temperature control. If the temperature is high, you should pay attention to cooling the buffalo, and even provide a bathing place for the buffalo. Buffalo itself is also very easy to attract mosquitoes and other creatures, so we also need to pay attention to parasites, how can the buffalo raised under such a variety of protection be bad?
