Is it good for cattle to eat red clay?

Found that cattle have to be fed soil.

Live to learn all the time" is Hu Zhansheng's very porridge sentence. He not only loves to observe, but also loves to think, in the past when the cattle found that as soon as the cattle came out of the house, they rushed to gnaw the red clay wall in the backyard, and the time passed, the wall was about to be gnawed down, and the old Hu was puzzled, and there were no relevant records in many books.

Once he looked at the animal world, he found that there are many wild animals that also love to eat soil, and the narrator said that many other animals love to eat soil. For example, wild boars that live in forests often use their bulging hard noses to arch through the soil, and not only eat food from the soil, but also love to eat with the soil. Hippos, rhinoceros, elephants, and even a few birds have a habit of eating dirt, and elephants dig with their front feet in the mud, and then use their long trunks to roll the soil into their mouths, eating several kilograms a day.

Scientists have tested the soil that animals like to eat, and found that the soil contains not only minerals, but also many microorganisms that the animals themselves need. Minerals such as cobalt, copper, and salt are all needed for the body of these animals. In addition, in the soil that animals often eat, it also contains potassium, iron oxide, manganese oxide, magnesium oxide, sodium carbonate, silicic acid, phosphoric acid, lime and other substances, which are used in water and air to help microorganisms behave in the soil, and microorganisms can generate various enzymes through the process of birth and death, which can support the effect of stomach digestion, and there are lactic acid bacteria in the soil, which can sponsor the treatment of dysentery, dyspepsia and other diseases.

Red clay is amazingly useful.

Lao Hu suddenly realized: Originally, animals eat soil, from the soil to get the minerals they need, originally their own cattle are short of minerals, it seems that this red soil is beneficial to the growth of cattle. Later, Lao Hu tried to add some red soil to the captive cattle feed every once in a while, and the cattle not only loved to eat and grow strong, but also rarely got sick.

The cattle raised by Lao Hu are also popular in the market because of their full body, fast weight gain, good meat production function, and good meat quality and taste. Lao Hu proudly said that the weight of this kind of cattle is usually at the mercy of 700 kilograms, but the cattle he raises are very heavy under the premise of 1050 kilograms, which is rare to look at.

The reason why cows eat red clay is probably the same as the reason why cattle eat loess in our area. When I was a child, the old cattle in the family, one summer indigestion, bad stomach, and no appetite, to find a veterinarian to see a doctor, the veterinarian picked up a shovel to find a clean place, shoveled half a shovel loess, after a simple treatment mixed into the food eaten by the cattle, and said to us with a smile, according to my method for two days, your cattle will be fine.

We did so with half-belief at the time, but unexpectedly, the scalper's appetite really improved, and the stomach was smooth. Later, I asked the veterinarian, the veterinarian said that this is a very common problem for cattle, the summer is too hot, there is no appetite, and the cattle lack trace elements, it happens that the loess contains the trace elements needed by the cattle, and the body is replenished after eating, which can naturally help digestion and become healthy.

Later, I met some people who worked in the feed factory, and they said that the feed of cattle, pigs and other animals was sometimes mixed with soil, the purpose was to increase nutrients, trace elements and other substances, so that the feed cattle could be healthy and grow well.

And this kind of animal eating soil behavior, in fact, is very common, we used to have a free-range pig, will eat soil by arching the ground, to supplement the lack of mineral trace elements in the body, if you do not eat soil to supplement these elements, often the body is prone to illness. Some birds living in the countryside will occasionally eat soil to balance their nutrition. There is also a behemoth animal that can even eat several catties of soil a day, which is an elephant.

Let's talk about laterite, what is the main component of laterite? Carbonate, silicon-aluminum oxide, iron oxide, phosphorus, potassium and other elements, people usually don't eat salt and are weak, let alone such a big animal as a cow. Moreover, laterite contains so many trace elements and minerals that are beneficial to cattle, so in some areas, there are indeed many farmers who feed red soil to cattle in the process of raising cattle.

Cattle that have eaten red clay are often more likely to gain weight, oily and slippery, and their bodies are generally strong.

Why is eating red clay good for the body of a cow?

As mentioned above, red clay contains a variety of trace elements and minerals, which are lacking in cattle, and cattle supplement these elements by eating red clay, and then form some enzymes in the body, which is great. I used to hear some old farmers in the south say that they would also feed their cattle with red soil, because they had consulted a veterinarian and said that red soil contains lactic acid bacteria, which promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestion.

In short, giving cattle red soil has many benefits for the health of cattle and improving immunity.

It may be because the red clay has some nutrients in it that can promote the growth of cattle, so it is said that they will be fed.

If the calf is allowed to eat red clay, it is very good for his body and can grow very strong.

Maybe it's because the nutrient content of these soils is relatively high, so they do this.

I think it's better for cows to eat red clay, because the bull market is going to grow stronger.

I think eating red clay will be good for the cow's development, so I'll feed some.

It may be that the discovery of red soil is also very good for the development and growth of cattle.

That's because there is a mineral in the red soil that is very good for cattle, so the cattle will be fed red clay.

Eating this may clear up some minor problems in the body. Let the cow grow better.

After eating red clay for cattle, it can strengthen many of the cattle's abilities.

I think there should be a lot of use, don't you think so?
