Breeding Technique of Cow with Calf

There is a certain difference between cow calf breeding technology and traditional breeding technology, using this way of breeding, it can greatly improve the reproductive capacity of cows and the survival rate of calves. Calf breeding technology of cow is a way of breeding by combining professional embryo transfer technology and feeding management technology. I believe that many people do not know much about this technology, so today the editor will briefly introduce it to you.

1. Calf feeding and management

1. Feeding and management

The feeding and management of calves needs to be carried out from the beginning of feeding, which is generally a stage of transition from feeding to feeding after the calf is born. Within ten days after the calf began to eat, we were all fed mainly with concentrate and gradually increased the amount of feed, while ensuring that there was adequate drinking water in the barn. After ten days, the calves can enter the stage of free forage intake, and after two months, they can continue to increase the feed needed for calves' growth and reduce the supply of concentrate, but they also need to ensure balanced nutrition. The most important of these is the first four days after weaning, which is a very critical period, which not only affects calves, but also affects cows accordingly.

2. Daily management

After the calf is born, its physique is relatively fragile. If it is summer, we also mainly keep the calves warm, but in the later stage, we need to adjust the temperature to avoid heatstroke caused by excessive temperature. In winter, we need to pay attention to keeping warm, in order to ensure that the calf can get through the cold winter smoothly, generally, it is feasible to use additional thermal cushion, heat preservation stove or fluorescent lamp lighting to keep warm. Finally, we should also pay attention to the exercise of calves and the cleanliness of the barn to reduce the infection of pathogens.

2. Feeding and management of cows

1. Feeding and management

The traditional breeding technology of cattle and sheep will lead to empty and miscarriage of cows because of improper management or uneven nutrition. In order to improve the production capacity of cows, we need to carry out breeding and management in a modern way. First of all, in the process of feeding, we not only need to maintain the growth of the cow, but also need to provide more nutrition than the fetus needs. The second is the first five months of pregnancy, we are mainly based on coarse feed, five months later, we have to supplement concentrate and carotene, which is conducive to fetal growth and post-calving reproduction. Finally, within a day or two after delivery, we can only feed some feed that is easy to digest and absorb, and the drinking water should be fed with warm water. Only when the physiological functions of the cows return to normal can we feed them with high-energy feed and return to their previous feeding habits.

2. Daily management

In addition to nutrition management in the process of cow feeding, it is also necessary to pay attention to daily management. The main thing in our daily management is to keep the barn clean and tidy, without dampness, and to maintain good ventilation at the same time. There is also to have appropriate grazing time, which can improve the physique of cows and reduce the risk of delivery. Finally, it is necessary to do a good job in fetal protection and temperature management in winter and summer to avoid dystocia.

The above is the cow calf breeding technology that the editor is going to introduce to you today. this technology can solve the problems of low cow productivity and low survival rate of calves over the years.
