Strange people have great tricks for raising cattle, walking cattle under the forest and feeding lees.

Tian Yongqiang, a farmer in Wulong County, Chongqing, uses "strange tricks" to "force" cattle to exercise in the morning, and is also "used to drinking" cattle. "if it weighs more than 1000 jin, the cow will be able to come out of the fence, and each head can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan, and at least 100 heads will be released this year." Tian Yongqiang said with a smile that apart from the cost of raising cattle, there can also be a profit margin of 20%. "if you persist in raising it for a long time, there is still a rush."

Recently, the reporter saw in the cowshed of Tian Yongqiang in Haokou Village, Haokou Township, Wulong County, that newborn calves were eating nutritious "breakfast", while cow mothers were rushed to the forest early in the morning to "exercise."

When Tian Yongqiang first entered the breeding industry by "walking cattle" and feeding cattle with distiller's grains, Tian Yongqiang did not properly feed cattle in sheds, but adopted some "strange tricks" for raising cattle. All of a sudden, he became a well-known "cattle man" in Shili and Baxiang. So, what more effective tricks did he use?

"forcing" bull "movement" to improve resistance

Tian Yongqiang's cowshed is surrounded by mountains on three sides, close to the wide road on one side, with lush meadows and convenient transportation.

At 06:00 every morning, Tian Yongqiang pulls the cattle out of the enclosure on time and goes to the nearby Lin Xia "runway" for "morning exercise."

"especially in spring and summer, weeds grow thickly and cattle can eat fresh grass." Tian Yongqiang said that the "runway" under the forest can not only provide cattle exercise and enjoy the cool, but also provide fresh grass to replace coarse grains and straw, saving a lot of feeding costs.

But the reason why Tian Yongqiang insists on taking cattle under the forest regardless of trouble is that he believes that moderate exercise can promote the metabolism of cattle, improve their resistance and reduce illness.

"if the cattle are kept in captivity for a long time, the activity space of the cattle is too small and the amount of exercise is insufficient, which will affect its growth. Moreover, the cattle will eat only one food in the enclosure, and it will even bring a lot of diseases to the cattle." Tian Yongqiang said that taking the cow out of the barn, leading it all the way to the foot of the mountain, and then slowly leading it back to the shed from the foot of the mountain, it is a distance of two kilometers. The cattle exercise in the forest for almost two hours, during which they walk and stop while eating grass. The cattle are very free, and the amount of exercise will not be too large, so they can achieve the purpose of exercise.

"We found that after long-term morning exercise, the resistance of cattle was improved and the prevalence rate was greatly reduced." Tian Yongqiang said.

"get used to drinking with cattle" to keep the meat fresh and tender

Can cows drink alcohol? Hearing about the incident, the reporter could not help asking questions.

"of course not, but cows eat distiller's grains and contain very little alcohol, which can be regarded as' micro-drinking'." Tian Wenqiang replied like this.

Next to Tian Yongqiang's cowshed, the reporter saw two huge brick granaries, one filled with straw and corn powder, and the other full of distiller's grains.

"Last month, I shipped back 260 tons of distiller's grains from Yibin, Sichuan." Tian Yongqiang said that it takes a lot of money to feed cattle to eat lees. "you have to buy 400 tons of lees a month, which costs 200 yuan a ton, while straw costs only more than 100 yuan a ton."

Although the cost is a little high, Tian Yongqiang thinks it is worth it. First, the distiller's grains produced in the production of liquor is often discarded at will as a pollutant, but after being converted into feed, it can reduce environmental pollution; second, the protein content of distiller's grains is not low, and if eaten moderately, the beef out of the column is very fresh and tender; third, the distiller's grains is very palatable and easy to digest, and because it contains a certain amount of alcohol, it can effectively prevent rumen dyspnea in cattle, which is conducive to lying down and regurgitating after eating.

Through these tips, Tian Yongqiang's farming scale has expanded from 40 cows to 150 cows in just two years.

"if it weighs more than 1000 jin, the cow will be able to come out of the fence, and each head can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan, and at least 100 heads will be released this year." Tian Yongqiang said with a smile that apart from the cost of raising cattle, there can also be a profit margin of 20%. "if you persist in raising it for a long time, there is still a rush."
