What do you need to pay attention to in raising cattle

The size of cattle is larger, when breeding, some details of farmers are more difficult to notice, but this factor often causes greater repercussions. When raising cattle, farmers need to pay attention to the following points, and the specific information should be understood together with the editor.

1. Site selection of cowshed

Site selection plays an important role in the process of breeding, so site selection should be done well. First of all, the place had better be on the high side, but the terrain should be relatively gentle, and the surrounding terrain should have a certain slope, so that there is a suitable breeding space, which is conducive to cleaning up excreta. Secondly, the ventilation condition is good, but can not be in the tuyere, it is best to rely on the hillside, can have a certain positive cover. In this way, the cowshed is not easy to accumulate germs and will be relatively dry.

2. Disease prevention

Disease is something that cattle farmers do not like, so disease prevention has become a very important issue. Most of the common cow diseases are induced by the environment, and they carry hidden bacteria. Therefore, when selecting seeds, farmers should choose varieties with high resistance, and the cowshed should be disinfected regularly, which has achieved the effect of prevention. The feed must be safe before it can be fed. In previous years, farmers often caused a series of diseases due to the deterioration and unknown safety of the feed, resulting in heavy losses. The above disease prevention can be done by farmers themselves.

3. Feed collocation

Cattle need different nutrients at different stages, and the food they feed should also be different. And many farmers often feed the same feed, resulting in the breeding of cattle is not ideal. The calf stage pays attention to comprehensive nutrition, and at this time the feed needs to contain more trace elements to meet the later growth of cattle. The stage of the calf is to lay the foundation for fattening in the later stage, and green fodder will occupy a dominant position at this time. At this time, about half of the daily feed for calves should be green fodder. In the later fattening stage, more feed with high protein content is needed to ensure rapid fattening, and a certain amount of green fodder is also needed for the sake of meat quality and health. Farmers should keep in mind that this feed goes well with farmers.

4. Health management

Hygiene is a problem that should be paid attention to in the barn, and the farmers who attach importance to this point are also more biased. Health management includes barn hygiene and cattle hygiene, and most farmers only pay attention to the hygiene of the barn. The correct way should be to clean cow dung regularly and clean the ground, the time should be controlled at about once every 2-3 days, and the cattle pen should also be washed clean. The cattle should be cleaned before cleaning the barn, which is generally controlled once a week, especially the buttocks of the cattle. If there is anything that can not be washed off, it is recommended to clean with a brush.

The above four points are more important when raising cattle, which takes time to clean up, feed and other aspects are relatively easy. The majority of farmers should pay attention to it.
