Construction of beef cattle farm

Beef cattle breeding has always been a common situation in rural areas, bulk farmers may not care much about farms, but batch farmers attach great importance to how beef farms should be built, what things should be paid attention to, and how to choose sites. Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Location requirements

The location of the cattle farm is very important, which is related to what may happen later. First of all, the place needs flat land, which is preferably higher than the surrounding area, and secondly, it should be close to the water source, because cleaning up the cattle farm requires a lot of water. The location should be in the tuyere or windy place, which can effectively ensure the circulation of the air in the cattle farm and reduce the chance of getting sick. It is best to have a relatively open playground around to provide a certain sports ground for cattle. The place where the direct shooting time is too long is not good, which is not conducive to the temperature control of the cattle farm.

2. Ground treatment

The ground of the cattle farm is mainly divided into two kinds, one is the external movable ground, and the other is the internal breeding ground. In order to facilitate cleaning, the internal site can directly use cement floor, the ground should be relatively smooth, to avoid fecal residue during cleaning, and increase the risk of infection. The ground should show a certain slope so that water or urine can flow directly out of the cattle farm. The land outside the field can choose sandy soil generally, so it is not easy to form stagnant water on the ground, and it is also relatively convenient to clean up cow dung, laying 20-30 cm.

3. Construction of shed

Ventilation is an important factor to consider when building a shed. Raising cattle is easy to cause large-scale diseases in summer because of poor ventilation. The roof had better use two-layer structure, the space between the two layers is reserved, which is conducive to cooling, and its closed treatment in winter can also keep warm. The breeding area of each cow is 3-4 square meters, so that it can have some room for movement. Each bullpen can be separated by an iron railing to ensure that it cannot be passed. The place facing the trough should ensure that the cow's head can stretch freely to facilitate its eating, and the mouth should not be too big, otherwise the cow will run out.

4. Pay attention to details

The water source in the shed should be evenly distributed to ensure that it is convenient to clean or feed, but the water pipe should be kept away from the trough to avoid the qualitative change of the feed caused by the improper operation of the water into the trough, or make it difficult for cattle to eat. The width of the trough is controlled at about 50 cm, with steep slopes on both sides, so that the cattle will not easily get the food out of the trough when eating. The side near the aisle needs to be slightly higher than the aisle to prevent the residue of the daily aisle from entering the trough and increasing the risk of disease.

5. Perfect function

Shade sheds need to be set up outside the field so that the cattle can have a shady place to rest when they are released. The outfield also needs to set up a feeding area to facilitate daily feeding. The fecal cleaning channel of the cattle farm should be connected to facilitate cleaning, and its placement area should be located at the downwind outlet and at a certain distance from the cattle farm, so as to prevent bacteria from blowing into the cattle farm with the wind. There have been many such examples in our country, so we should pay attention to this.

These are some of the contents of the construction of beef cattle farms, we can also according to their own ideas to make certain adjustments, measures to local conditions, not necessarily limited to some aspects, want to know more content can pay attention to our website.
