Is it OK for cows to eat fine grass? Is it better for cattle to eat long or short grass?

Hello! I don't know what you're talking about! If it's tender grass, it's not okay, it's watery, and it's easy to have diarrhea!

Cattle forage includes green grass, green hay, corn stalks, sorghum stalks, wheat stalks, rice straws, and so on. Potatoes, eggplants, carrots, pumpkins and other root tubers and melon feed cattle love to eat, but be sure to cut into small pieces before feeding to avoid choking. Cattle feed roughly, and should be fed less frequently.

Clean the feeding trough when you go down to the trough, and dry the leftover grass before feeding. Rushing to eat in groups can increase the amount of food. Cattle eat ad libitum and need to spend 6-7 hours a day to be full.

The time is long when the forage is rough, and short when the grass is tender. It is fed in the evening in the summer and in the house in the winter. The amount of food of cattle is also related to body weight, such as fattened yearning cattle, the daily dry matter intake is body weight; At a weight of 500 kg, the feed intake is body weight.

Those with good fat eat less than those with poor fat, and those who are healthy eat more than those who are thin. When malnourished, eat less pointed; After increasing concentrate, feed intake increases. A quiet environment and longer feeding time can increase feed intake.

Of course, raising cattle is a technical job, and you need to think about it repeatedly and ask experienced people for advice to succeed!

Corn stalks.

It's good to eat long grass. Because the size of the cow is very large and very strong, and then the cow's mouth will be a little bigger, because it is high, so it is best to grow grass when you bow your head to graze, and you will not be too tired.

It is good for cattle to eat short grass.

As the saying goes: "If you have three knives in an inch of grass, you will gain weight without material." "Feeding the forage to cattle after shortening it saves about 20 percent compared with the whole feeding, especially the thick and hard stalks that are less fed or difficult to eat during the whole feeding, if they are fed short, they can be fully utilized, and the digestibility is also improved.

In general, the stalks should be fed to cattle in 3 5 cm.

Scientific and reasonable feeding can ensure the healthy growth of the herd, good fat, careful management will bring considerable benefits, will be in the unpredictable market competition to win.

Feed the long grass short, and feed the stalks into 3 cm to 5 cm to feed the cattle.

Coarse grass is fed finely, if the straw can be salted, alkalized, ammoniated or crushed and mixed with concentrate to feed cattle.

Short grass is better because short grass is easier to digest and absorb, and long grass will be less easy to swallow.

For cattle, it will be convenient to eat long grass, and generally cut the grass into 2 5 cm, which is better for cattle to digest.

You change the grass that the cow eats, just eat the grass, and the cow will continue to ruminate in the stomach after eating, and then slowly digest it.

1. Open the cow's mouth, roll the grass into your mouth with your tongue, and cut off the grass with your front teeth.

2. Stir with the coil of the tongue and grind the grass into fine pieces with molars.

3. Pass through the throat and send the ball of grass accompanied by cow saliva to the first stomach of the cow.

4. During the break, the muscles in the first stomach return the grass ball to the cow's mouth (rumination).

5. Chew further in the cow's mouth to chew the grass balls more finely and finely.

6. Swallow again and enter the second stomach ...... of the cow

This is followed by a process of further digestion, not a process of eating.

Eating grass can be said to be an animal instinct, it is naturally like we eat.

Cattle are fed grasses such as bamboo, beetroot, Mexican corn, alfalfa and ryegrass. Among them, the yield per mu of bamboo, beetroot and Mexican corn was larger, while the yield per mu of alfalfa and black buried wheat grass was 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 eat by themselves, so as not to affect the forage yield.

Which grasses are suitable for feeding cattle.

1. Imperial bamboo grass.

Yellow grass can be used to feed cattle. The yield of yellow grass per mu is about 10 tons, which can meet the fresh grass demand of two cattle for a year. To plant thunder bamboo, it is necessary to prepare the land and fertilize it, turn the soil deep to dry, destroy the bacteria in the soil of the bending bridge, or add base fertilizer to the soil to increase the fertilizer content of the soil.

2. Sweet elephant grass.

Sweet grass can be fed to cattle. Elephant grass belongs to the grass family, which grows quickly and has strong reproductive ability. One year of planting can be harvested for eight years. In the process of planting beetroot, when the weather is dry, it should be replenished with water in time 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 millet and is similar in shape to corn and has a growth cycle of about seven months. When maintaining Mexican corn, we can provide it with a balanced combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to allow the plant to absorb enough fertilizer.

4. Alfalfa grass.

Alfalfa grass can also be used to feed cattle. Alfalfa is a perennial herbaceous plant with a well-developed root system, strong adaptability to the environment, and a wide distribution range. When planted, it only needs to be sown in the soil and can thrive without too much disturbance.
