How to Raise Cattle How to Raise Cattle Video

To raise cattle, we must first build a cowshed, which should be warm in winter and cool in summer according to local conditions, and keep it above 5℃. Regularly remove feces every day, ventilate at noon, brush and wipe the cow's body, and take it outside to bask in the sun regularly, which will enhance physical fitness and help to gain weight.

We must choose and raise improved cattle.

Selecting excellent breeds of cattle for breeding is the key to obtain good benefits, because excellent breeds of cattle not only have good meat quality, fast growth, high feed reward, good appearance and low incidence. It is necessary to change the practice of step-by-step hybridization for many years, actively introduce varieties such as Limousin and Simental for three-way hybridization, and continuously improve the improvement effect and economic benefits. Don't think that local cattle are already excellent, but don't pay attention to variety improvement. We should constantly improve the varieties we raise. When the price of cattle is high, we should improve the variety when the price of cattle is low. If possible, we should try our best to popularize the new technology of frozen semen breeding. It is particularly important to note that hybrid bulls cannot be used for breeding, because although hybrid bulls are tall and strong, they are genetically unstable, which easily leads to inbreeding, offspring degeneration and low economic benefits.

Scientific feeding technology

1. Cattle should be fed with green feed as much as possible, supplemented by other necessary nutritional feeds. To improve the efficiency of cattle raising, we should start with calf breeding, especially in the first, second winter and spring feeding periods, so that it can be slaughtered at the age of 18 ~ 24 months, or after short-term intensive fattening. After ammoniation, the crude protein content of rice straw and wheat straw can be increased, which can not only reduce the feeding cost, but also improve the economic benefit of raising cattle. Therefore, it is necessary to vigorously promote new straw treatment technologies such as straw silage, semi-dry storage and ammoniation, and promote straw cattle raising.

2. Adding urea is an effective way to solve the shortage of feed protein. Urea phosphate and rumen hormone can increase daily gain and feed conversion rate 10% ~ 15%, and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can increase feed utilization rate by more than 12%. Urease inhibitors developed and popularized in recent years also have good weight gain effect.

In addition, various vitamins, minerals, trace elements and other additives can be used.
