    Domesticated cattle were originally used for servitude. Later, especially after the 18th century, with the development of agricultural mechanization and the change of consumption needs, except for a few developing countries, cattle are still mainly used for service, and ordinary cattle have developed in the direction of specialization after continuous breeding and crossbreeding. For example, the United Kingdom has bred many breeds of beef cattle and meat and milk; Continental European countries are the main producers of most dairy cow breeds.

    After the British dual-purpose shorthorn cattle were introduced to the United States, they were bred in the direction of dairy use, and then bred dairy shorthorn cattle with a changed body shape. The production types of modern cattle can be divided into the following four types: dairy breeds mainly include Hestan, Erxia cattle, Jersey cattle, Gensai cattle and so on.

    The main meat breeds include Hellford cattle, shorthorn cattle, Aberdeen-Angus cattle, Charolais cattle, Limousin cattle, Piedmontese cattle, Chiannina cattle, Lincoln Red cattle, hornless red cattle, Grewe cattle, Defang cattle, Murley gray cattle, and some breeds that have been crossed with zebu cattle and ordinary cattle in modern times, such as Brahman cattle, Borofort cattle, Borrogus cattle, St. Hertrudis cattle, beef cattle king, Bangsmara cattle and Bifaro cattle. The dual-use breeds mainly include dual-use shorthorn cattle, Simmental cattle, Swiss brown cattle, Danish red cattle, Angel cattle, Xindi red cattle, Shahihua cattle and Chinese cattle, as well as steppe red cattle and Xinjiang brown cattle bred by improving Mongolian cattle and Xinjiang Yili cattle with dual-use shorthorn cattle and Swiss brown cattle respectively. The main service breeds are Chinese cattle and buffaloes.

    Some cattle can also be used for both meat, such as China's Qinchuan cattle and Luxi cattle. Before the 70s, buffaloes were also used as dairy workers in some parts of China. In addition, some countries have bred a strong and combative bullfighting bull, mainly for competition.

    In addition to being widely bred in Spain, it is also bred in some other countries such as Mexico, Peru, Portugal, etc. About China's cattle breeds, including Luxi cattle, Jinnan cattle, Yanbian cattle, Qinchuan cattle, Nanyang cattle, is China's five most precious cattle breeds. <>

    Cattle may be sick, or it may be affected by poor feed quality, bad environment and other reasons.

    1. Poor feed quality.

    Under the condition that the normal cattle have an appetite, the fodder will be arched out of a big pit, and the feed is a direct factor affecting the cattle self-supply. If the feed is not good and the palatability is poor, it will inevitably lead to poor appetite of cattle, and the cattle will not only not gain weight but will become emaciated day by day. The preparation of cattle feed is the key to breeding, generally based on roughage, supplemented by concentrate feed, and supplemented with vitamins and minerals.

    2.Disease ** element.

    The most common diseases in cattle are colds and diarrhea. At this time, the sick cow will lose appetite, lips and tongue, lack of energy and chills. At this time, you can use wild chrysanthemum dandelion decoction water or tangerine peel.

    Licorice, semi-summer.

    If you take decoction in water, the sick cow will generally recover its strength after three to four times, and its appetite will gradually improve.

    3. Environmental factors.

    When summer comes, many cattle farmers report that their cattle don't like to eat anymore. This is because when the temperature in the barn is too high, it will seriously affect the appetite of the cattle, and the feed intake of the cattle will be greatly reduced.

    Spring and autumn season: 7 8 o'clock in the morning and 5 6 o'clock in the afternoon can be fed, the interval between two feedings is longer, you can properly feed some green and juicy feed to the cattle at noon, and feed some green hay to the cattle at night. However, the feeding time in spring and autumn should also depend on the specific weather, for example, in early spring when the weather is still cold, it should be fed according to the time of winter, and in early autumn when the weather is still hot, it should be fed according to the time of summer.

    Summer: High temperatures in summer.

    Affect the appetite of cattle, so in the morning should be fed early in the afternoon should be fed late, 4 5 o'clock in the morning while the sun is not out of the weather cool to feed cattle, at night to 8 o'clock after the temperature to feed the cattle, the two feeding daytime interval is longer, coupled with the hot weather, can be in the morning at 11 o'clock in the afternoon 3 o'clock in the afternoon high temperature period to feed the cattle with plenty of green and juicy feed.

    Winter: low temperature in winter will also affect the feeding and digestion of cattle, feeding time is just the opposite of summer, the morning should be fed late in the afternoon, the morning should wait until 9 o'clock after the temperature begins to rise when the cattle are fed, the afternoon should be 3 5 o'clock before the sun sets the cow, the interval between two feeding evenings is longer, should be fed at 10 12 o'clock at night to the cattle to feed a certain amount of green hay, lactating cows, fattening cattle should also be fed an appropriate amount of concentrate.

    First of all, it is necessary to understand how the cow does not chew backwards.

    In the event of infectious and invasive diseases, rumination ceases; Rumination also stops in the event of man-made feeding management errors and poisoning. For example, due to the collection and feeding of a large amount of green feed, there is acute rumen bulge, left abdominal distention, rumination arrest, and death of sick cattle due to suffocation; Or feed a large amount of concentrate feed, rumen accumulation, sick cattle do not ruminate, lack of sufficient roughage for a long time, rumen relaxation, sick cattle rumination weakened to a complete stop.

    Once it is found that the rumination of cattle has stopped, it is a precursor to the disease, and it must not be delayed, and the local veterinary personnel should be immediately diagnosed and treated. Long-term slowing down of rumination can easily cause digestive disorders, cause a variety of gastrointestinal diseases, and affect the normal growth and development of cattle.

    Long-term sick cattle have rumination movements, and rumination from weak to normal, which is an indication of the recovery period of the disease.

    Life is in motion, and ruminants are kept alive by constant rumination.

    "If the cow doesn't eat the grass and chew it, it may be sick. There are two common diseases in cattle, one is rumen accumulation and the other is rumen distention. The causes of the disease are:

    When grazing, cattle are greedy for freshly grown grass, and the gas produced after grass fermentation is easy to make cattle suffer from acute flatulence; Excessive intake of feed such as legumes, grains, corn, etc., which is easy to swell during grazing or feeding; Abrupt change of feed during feeding, especially by roughness at the time of feeding.

    1.Rumen food accumulation.

    The phenomenon of rumen accumulation in cattle is very common in the eyes of our cattle breeders, and basically we farmers have encountered it. The main reason for this is that we feed our cattle too much feed that is not easy to digest. When we accumulate food in the rumen of cattle, we can give cattle a large amount of sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate solution to help cattle expel the accumulated food in the rumen.

    At the same time, we can also inject cattle: do not eat Taibao injections, mix or administer: Angastropics, so as to promote the rumen peristalsis of cattle and solve the problem of rumen food accumulation in cattle.

    If it is a pregnant cow, we can mix it at the same time: female antebol + gastric stabao, which can not only protect the fetus, but also strengthen the stomach and promote rumination.

    2.Rumen acidosis.

    If we feed too much concentrate feed to cattle during the breeding process, it is easy to cause acidosis in the rumen of cattle. Rumen acidosis in cattle occurs quickly, causing death in cattle in a short period of time, and cattle will also have symptoms of diarrhea. We can inject 5% sodium bicarbonate to alleviate the phenomenon of rumen acidosis.

    After relieving acidosis, cattle can be given or dressed: Amway Taibao + Angastric Taibao, so that it can be ** diarrhea, and can also strengthen the stomach of cattle and promote digestion, so that cattle can ruminate normally.

    3.Rumen flatulence.

    Rumen flatulence will also lead to the phenomenon of cattle not chewing, the rumen digestion ability of cattle is not good, coupled with too much intake of easily fermented gas, then it is easy to have rumen flatulence. When we have food accumulation in the rumen, if it is not serious, we can lift the head of the cow and then massage the rumen, which can help the cow expel the gas in the rumen. If the flatulence is severe, we need to deflate the rumen with a trocar or triangular edge.

    At the same time, we need to give cattle mixture or infusion: Stomach Taibao, which can repair the damaged rumen of cattle and help cattle strengthen their stomach and promote digestion.

    Hello dear, you can tell which reason is by looking at the current state of your cow.

    Thank you for your consultation, and if you have any questions, you can consult me again.

    Summary. Hello Qinqin I am happy to answer the answer for you as follows: The reason why the cow does not eat grass and chews is that the food in the cow's stomach has not been digested!

    Hello cover regret very good potato is happy to answer for you The answer is as follows: The reason why the cow does not eat grass and chews is that the food in the cow's stomach has not been digested!

    The cow has been chewing, which is a special digestive phenomenon of Sun Xu, called rumination. Cattle are ruminants, ruminants are usually grass eaters, and plant fibers are more difficult to digest, so ruminants have evolved special digestive systems to adapt to grass food.

    Rumination is when an animal returns a partially digested food to its mouth after a period of food has elapsed to chew it again. Degraded plant fiber source high precursor and full digestion and absorption, rumination and cattle digestive system related, cattle have four stomachs, the first stomach is the rumen, the second hail clear stomach is the net stomach, the third stomach is the double stomach stomach, the fourth stomach is the wrinkled stomach.

    Cows are very common animals, I believe everyone has seen cows chew their mouths when they don't eat, what's going on?

    Why do cows always chew non-stop

    Because cattle are ruminants, they eat plants as their staple food, but plant fiber is more difficult to digest, so after eating, they have to return the semi-digested food to their mouths and chew it again. Ruminants like cows have a very different stomach structure from those of other animals.

    The average animal has only one stomach, while a cow has four stomachs, namely the rumen, the hive, the double stomach, and the wrinkled stomach. The rumen and hive stomachs mix food with bile, specifically using commensal bacteria to break down cellulose into glucose, then regurgitate the food, chew slowly until well mixed, then further break down the fiber and re-swallow, pass through the rumen to the double stomach, dehydrate, then send to the puckered stomach, and finally send it to the small intestine for absorption.

    When cattle are eating grass, the grass enters the rumen directly in their mouths without chewing, there is no digestive gland in the rumen, the grass is soaked here and then enters the hive stomach, stays in the hive stomach for a period of time and returns to the mouth to continue chewing, and after chewing, it enters the double stomach and the wrinkled stomach, where the grass is fully digested. Therefore, when the cow is resting, it chews non-stop, that is, the grass stored in the rumen is returned to the mouth to chew again.
