Breeding cattle in spring

Spring is a busy season for cattle in service, and the forage grass is green and yellow. In addition, the cattle in service have experienced a long relationship of production and their physique has declined. If we do not strengthen feeding management and increase nutrition, it is easy to affect spring ploughing and delay farming time. Therefore, it is very important to do well the feeding and management of spring service cattle. In order to do a good job in the feeding and management of spring service cattle, we must pay attention to the following points.

1. Earnestly do a good job in feeding and management before service if the production relations of service cattle are not well maintained in the spring, it cannot be remedied by supplementary feeding during service, so that supplementary feeding during service can only avoid losing fat and it is not easy to gain weight. Therefore, all thin farm cattle must be nourished one month before the service. generally speaking, they should be fed gradually after the Beginning of Spring, until they are stung and the Spring Equinox, and then they are transferred to the conscription period.

Second, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid excessive cattle ruminating 6-8 times a day and night, as many as 10-16 times, a total of about 7-8 hours, accounting for 1 beat 3 of the whole day, of which about three hours during the day, serviced cattle do not ruminate, so it is necessary to arrange a certain rest time for cattle to regurgitate. After each feeding for a period of time, there should be more than an hour of rest to let the cattle rest and regurgitate. The daily service time should be flexibly controlled according to the physical strength, health and other conditions of the cattle, generally no more than eight hours a day, so that the performance of the cattle should be observed at any time. If there are salivation, shortness of breath, movement swing, neck bending, frequent micturition and mental distress after service, lying and refusing to eat, and rarely ruminating, they are all excessive exertion and should be resting or relieved immediately.

Third, pay attention to prevent mistakenly eating food farming cattle in the service period to increase the amount of food, eat quickly, but the food selection is poor. Therefore, the feed must be sifted, kept clean and fresh, and strictly prevent cattle from eating foreign bodies by mixing with iron wire, nails, chicken feathers, mud blocks and plastic film.

Fourth, pay attention to drinking water in spring windy, dry climate, coupled with the use of cattle to produce more juice, water demand is much higher than in winter, it is necessary to ensure an adequate supply of drinking water, 4-6 times a day, and add 20-50 grams of salt to drinking water to increase appetite and supplement salt consumption.
