What grass do cows eat?

Cattle are fed with grasses such as hemp, beetroot, Mexican corn, alfalfa and ryegrass. Among them, the yield per mu of Dendrocalamus latiflorus, beetroot and Mexican corn is larger, while the yield per mu of alfalfa and ryegrass is smaller. At the same time, in the process of planting grass and raising cattle, the forage should be harvested and fed to the cattle, and the cattle should not be allowed to feed themselves, so as not to affect the forage yield.

Which grasses are suitable for cattle?

1 Pennisetum

Yellow grass can be used to feed cattle. The yield of yellow grass per mu is about 10 ton, which can meet the demand of fresh grass in Niu Yi for two years. Planting Phyllostachys praecox requires soil preparation and fertilization, digging and drying the soil to destroy the bacteria in the soil, or mixing base fertilizer into the soil to increase the fertilizer content in the soil.

2. Sweet weevil

Grass can be fed to cattle. Elephant grass belongs to Gramineae, which grows rapidly and has strong reproductive ability. If you plant for one year, you can harvest for eight years. In the process of planting beetroot, it is necessary to replenish water in time when the weather is dry to prevent the plant from drying up due to lack of water.

3. Mexican corn

Corn can be used to feed cattle. Mexico belongs to the genus Panicum, which is similar in shape to corn and has a growth cycle of about 7 months. When maintaining Mexican corn, we can provide it with compound fertilizer with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so that plants can absorb enough fertilizer.

4. Alfalfa

Alfalfa can also be used to feed cattle. Alfalfa is a perennial herb with developed roots, strong adaptability to the environment and wide distribution. When planting, it only needs to be planted in the soil, and it can thrive without too much interference.
