What problems should be paid attention to when raising cattle with green fodder

In the middle of summer, green forage grows vigorously and has a wide variety, they are not only green in color, tender and juicy, easy to digest, but also rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, which are ideal high-quality feed for fattening beef cattle and cultivated cattle. However, although green fodder is good, in the process of using it to raise cattle, if it is not used properly, there will also be problems. The three issues that should be paid attention to when feeding cattle with green fodder are introduced as follows:

First, pay attention to the green fodder can not be single. Green fodder is an indispensable high-quality feed for fattening beef cattle, but it contains too much water and less dry matter. If beef cattle are only fed with green fodder (especially those in the later stage of fattening), although they are full, the dry matter energy absorbed by their body cannot meet the needs of long meat and fat deposit.

Therefore, when fattening beef cattle with green fodder, it is necessary to supplement and mix an appropriate amount of dry grass, grain feed (corn, sorghum, etc.) and protein feed (soybean cake, peanut cake, etc.), so that the fattening effect can be more significant.

2. Pay attention to nitrite and hydrocyanic acid poisoning. When feeding beef cattle and ploughing cattle with green and juicy feed, one is not to use vegetable leaf feed (such as radish leaves, cabbage leaves, etc.) that has been piled up for too long, because they contain nitrate, and spoilage bacteria can reduce nitrate to nitrite, and cattle will be poisoned after eating. Second, do not feed corn seedlings, sorghum seedlings, and flax leaves, because they contain cyanide, and cattle will produce hydrocyanic acid in the rumen after eating it and be poisoned.

3. Pay attention to young leguminous forage grasses and do not feed them too much. Because the leguminous forage protein is of good quality, rich in vitamins and trace elements, and has good palatability, especially in the young stage, they contain saponin, and cattle eat too much, which produces a lot of foam in the rumen, which is easy to make cattle have rumen distention.

It is not difficult to solve the problem of forage for raising cattle, as long as there is money, it can be bought, mainly because of the cheap forage. The cost of cattle forage pants directly affects the profit of cattle raising, and the cost of forage is reduced, which is equivalent to increasing the profit of cattle in disguise.

1. Solve it nearby. Roughage must be solved locally, and the cost will increase a lot if it is too far away. This is due to the fact that roughage is cheap and large and inconvenient to transport, and if purchased from a distant place, the transportation cost may be much higher than the cost of roughage itself.

2. Seasonality. Roughage has a strong seasonality, such as wheat straw is cheaper during the summer harvest, corn straw and soybean straw are cheaper during the autumn harvest, but the harvest season is only ten days and eight days. Be sure to spin during the harvest season, buy or collect plenty of roughage yourself.

3. Plant grass. Of course, not all places are suitable for growing grass and raising cattle, and you must have cheap land to grow grass. If you can grow food, you might as well grow food.

In the case of planting two crops of grain, the yield of straw in one acre of land is almost the same as that of forage in half an acre. In addition, the profits obtained from harvesting grain can be exchanged for two acres of pasture if they are exchanged for pasture.

Roughage has corn straw, wheat straw, soybean straw, distiller's grains, etc., concentrate feed has corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, etc., if you want cattle to have good production performance, growth rate must be reasonably matched with feed, so cowboys feed silage still add corn, soybean meal, etc. This is the best way to feed, so that the cattle raised, rich and balanced nutrition, even in the cold winter, the cattle can also have a good fat, so that in the spring of the next year, the cattle can not turn around, can grow smoothly, and bring huge economic and social benefits to the farmers.

During the growing season, you can feed roughage, 6-10 kg of hay or 12-20 kg of fresh grass every day. The concentrate fed every day accounts for the weight of the cattle, that is, 100 catties of cattle are fed with the maximum amount of concentrate. Concentrates include 70% coarse cornmeal, 25% soybean cake, and 5% mineral feed.

Precautions for the use of silage At the same time, it should be noted that after the silage is fermented, there are more acidic substances, and before feeding the cattle, spread out and volatile acidic substances are reused. A large amount of silage to increase the amount of baking soda can be fed 10 grams per day according to the weight of 100 kg of cattle, and finally no more than 100 grams per day.

He swallows these things directly into the rumen for soaking, a fermentation process to form a grass ball and then return to the mouth to chew, this is what we call rumination, if the cornmeal is too fine, can not be fully returned to the mouth, can not be fully ruminated. It is recommended that dairy farmers add some hay or sheep grass when feeding whole plant silage corn, which can not only give full play to the benefits of whole plant silage corn, but also avoid the harm that may be brought to dairy cows due to its own lack of milk, and raise healthy and high-yield dairy cows.

He swallows these things directly into the rumen for soaking, a fermentation process to form a grass ball and then return to the mouth to chew, this is what we call rumination, if the cornmeal is too fine, can not be fully returned to the mouth, can not be fully ruminated.

When feeding, we must pay attention to the very delicate handling to be processed, so that there will be no scratching of the intestines, and it can be digested quickly, so that the cattle can grow more fat.

1. Check whether the silage is mildew. For example, the silage made of golden fungus silage starter is greatly improved compared with conventional silage in terms of appearance, color, smell and taste. Good quality silage is blue-green or yellow-green, sweet and sour in taste, with a strong wine or pear flavor, soft and moist in the hand.

If the feed turns black or brown, has a sour smell, is sticky to the hand or is dry and coarse, the silage has mildew and should be treated before feeding the cows.

2. Scientific feeding. The amount of silage to be put into the adult cow should be based on the weight and milk production of the adult cow. When feeding, the initial should be fed less, and then gradually increase to a sufficient amount, so that the cows have an adaptation process, not a one-time full amount of feeding, resulting in too much silage in the rumen of the cows, too much acid, but affect the normal feeding and milk production performance of the cows.

Baking soda should be added to dairy cows in time, and the pH value in the rumen of dairy cows is reduced when feeding silage, which is easy to cause acidosis.

After a few days after the opening of the closed silage fermentation, it is green or yellow-green, soft and has a moist odor, and is considered high-quality silage that can be used to feed cattle. It should be done quickly after each feeding to avoid prolonged exposure to mildew. When the silage begins with a pungent smell, yellow or black, visible decay, mildew or sticking, it can be considered spoiled silage and it is decided not to feed the cows.

If cattle eat these things, it will cause diarrhea or poisoning, which will seriously affect the healthy growth of cattle.

When we were young, we often saw our grandparents or grandparents, raising some small animals at home. Therefore, when we are on the road, we often see pigs or cows and sheep passing by. So when raising pigs, or when we have other livestock, we also need to pay attention to some problems, that is, if we want to feed livestock with green fodder, what problems should we pay attention to.

Pay attention to the presence of decaying material insideBecause you all know that green fodder is very nutritious, and its palatability is very good, which is especially suitable for raising livestock。So when we are raising livestock, it is best for us to raise them in the countryside, and at the same time, we need to pay attention to some methods when raising livestock. The first is that we need to choose, and the best way is to prevent some new feed, which will cause some rotting to poison our own animals.

However, we should pay attention to the fact that if we choose to feed with brood-feed, it is likely to cause some parasitic infections in our own animals, so we must choose carefully when choosing clean feed, and disinfect it. And remove some of the burrs in it, otherwise it will affect the food of your own livestock.

Don't eat too much and we can also store some grass or wild vegetables in the spring and preserve them, so that we can feed our livestock in the winter, and there will be urea in it when it is stored. This will increase the protein needed by the livestock, but we should be careful not to let them eat too much, which may lead to miscarriage and may be nutritionally incomplete. Therefore, we must match it with other feeds when feeding, only in this way will their nutrition be more comprehensive.

At the same time, we must also choose some suitable feed when feeding, not that we can add a little water, so that the feed can be isolated from the air. Then the effect after fermentation is better, but it cannot be stored for a long time, and if the feed becomes sour, we are not suitable for feeding our own livestock.

Therefore, when we choose the right feed, we must choose the right feed, and do a good job of its information. Only in this way can you avoid poisoning your own livestock and let them grow better. And we also need to be more careful when handling the data, only then they will not be poisoned, and it will save some trouble.

At the same time, it can save us time, so it is a double benefit for us.

Pay attention to the way of feeding, but also should pay attention to the combination of feed, but also pay attention to the choice of time period, pay attention to the freshness of the feed, but also pay attention to the ** of the feed, and so on.

Be sure to feed fresh, otherwise it is easy to have problems, it is easy to cause livestock to get sick because of plant deterioration, you must pay attention to the problem of parasites, otherwise it is easy to affect, and it is very important to carry out deworming regularly.

It should be noted that when feeding livestock with green fodder, do not give too much at one time, and at the same time, you should not only feed green fodder, but also properly match some complementary foods, so as to make the nutrition of livestock balanced. At the same time, be sure to pay attention to regular feeding.

The silage method preserves the corn stalks that are still green or partially green after the autumn harvest for a long time, which can preserve its nutrients well, and the texture becomes soft, has a fragrance, can enhance the appetite of cattle and sheep, and solve the shortage of forage in winter and spring. At the same time, system.

Silage saves half of the floor space compared with stacking the same amount of hay, and is also conducive to fire prevention, rain prevention, mildew prevention and the elimination of crop pests on straw.

The key to the technology of silage production is to provide the necessary conditions for the reproduction of lactic acid bacteria:

First, in the process of modulation, the raw materials should be as short as possible, and they should be compacted tightly when loading the cellar to remove the air in the cellar as much as possible. Second, the water content in the raw materials is about 75 (that is, when the water can be wrung out by hand and cannot be dropped), which is the most suitable for the reproduction of lactic acid bacteria. Silage.

The need for sprinkling should be decided according to the degree of greenness of the corn stalks. Third, the raw materials should contain a certain amount of sugar, and the sugar content of general corn straw meets the requirements.

There are many methods of silage corn stalks, and only the most basic general silage method is introduced here, which is convenient for the popularization and promotion of the vast number of rural areas.

1. Dig the cellar and choose a place with solid soil, high and dry terrain, leeward to the sun, and rain is not easy to wash away to build a silage cellar. The cellar shape is generally divided into round and rectangular, and the cellar wall is straight and smooth, impermeable to water and breathable. The width of the cellar should generally be less than.

The feed for cattle is mainly forage and fodder.

In addition to feeding sufficient forage and feed, cattle need to add an appropriate amount of high-nutrient forage such as tofu residue, distiller's grains, silage, etc., to improve the growth rate of beef cattle, but this kind of high-nutrition and high-protein forage is an acidic feed, and an appropriate amount of soda needs to be added at the same time to neutralize gastric acid and prevent the appearance of rumen acidosis.

Hello corn straw, soybean straw, peanut straw, sweet potato straw, straw, pasture can be.

My family currently relies on corn stalks and distiller's grains to fatten beef cattle.

Farmers in Shenyang, Liaoning Province sincerely make friends who breed beef cattle and exchange market experience and experience.

I'm in farming. Friend, for professionals, your question is vague.

Beef cattle? Raising cows? Raising cattle? Breeding cattle? If it's breeding cattle, which of the first three breeders are they? Or are you in the cattle business, just buy it back for a short period of time?

Of course, in general, the forage is the main thing, and the concentrate is the supplement.

Hello crop straw、There is also grass that can be planted。

Concentrate + Feed!

Feeding cattle with silage should be noted:

The first is to check the quality before feeding silage: high-quality silage should be good in color, aroma, taste and texture, that is, yellow in color, soft and juicy, sour in smell, and good palatability. If it is corn stalks, silage has a strong wine aroma.

The second is to prevent secondary fermentation and mildew: when feeding, the silage cellar can only be opened at one end, to open the cellar in sections, take in layers, and cover it after taking it, prevent sun, rain and secondary fermentation, and avoid nutrient loss, quality decline or mildew. Moldy, sticky, black, and clumpy items cannot be used.

The third is to grasp the amount of feeding: the amount of silage should depend on the breed, age, use and quality of silage, except for high-yield dairy cows, in general, it can be used as the only roughage. However, it should be noted that fresh grass and vegetable leaves still contain a large amount of laxative substances after silage, and excessive feeding often causes diarrhea and affects digestion and absorption.

When starting with silage, start with less to more silage and gradually increase it. When feeding is stopped, it should also be gradually reduced from more to less. Enables cattle to have an adaptation process that prevents overeating and a sudden drop in appetite.

Usually the feeding amount, dairy cows 20-30kg, service cattle 10-15kg, breeding bulls, beef cattle 5-12kg.
