Technical problems of Dairy Cow breeding

Dairy cows are the main milk-producing cows, and the main breeds of dairy cows are black and white dairy cows, which are cultivated after long-term breeding. Dairy cows are raised in many places in China, and the scale of farming is very large, but in some places there are some breeding problems, mistakenly thinking that some breeding methods are correct, but in fact there are some incorrect operations. let's take a look at these problems.

1. Add more salt to produce more milk

Some farmers add too much salt to the concentrate feed, artificially add more salt, cows can produce more milk, but animals have a standard for salt, can not eat too much salt, easy salt poisoning, increase the burden on the kidneys of dairy cows. And can not increase milk production, so feed salt must be within 0.7% to 0.8% standard, do not add randomly. There are special bricks for salt that can be placed to allow cows to lick freely.

2. Restrictions on eating grass

Cows generally eat more grass and graze more, so where there are pastures, the milk quality of dairy cows is also good. Concentrate only needs to be replenished in the right amount. Cows cannot be restricted from grazing. Cows generally eat grass and know that they will not really support themselves, so they can graze more and feed more grass even if they are not grazing.

3. Limit drinking water

Some people think that if the cow is fed too much water, the cow may have diarrhea, so it is fed regularly and quantitatively, but in fact, the cow ruminates need to secrete a lot of saliva, which comes from drinking water. So it's best to provide clean water where you can see it, drink freely, and don't limit it. Even if you encounter diarrhea, you have to let the cow drink water, because it will lose a lot of water.

4. Too much milking

The milk produced by the cow is nutritious, which comes from the cow itself, so don't have to be milked so that you can't get out. This will lead to excessive consumption of nutrients in the milk body, affecting milk production in the future, resulting in late postpartum estrus. Therefore, cows must be given appropriate long-term countermeasures for the dry period, not in too much of a hurry.

5. Do not trim the cow's hoof

In general, cattle hooves are easy to be ignored and can not be managed and maintained, but in fact, infection, redness and lameness will occur in the hoof parts of cows. It will also indirectly affect cow milk production, so it is best to repair the cow's hoof regularly, wash the cow's hoof, and wash the cow's hoof with 10% copper sulfate solution every week. Also pay attention to keep the floor of the barn and activity ground clean.

Cow farming management is prone to some details, these seem to be small problems, in fact, they all have a greater impact. So it's best to pay attention to improving these problems and don't continue to breed like this.
