    How many pounds of concentrate does a cow need per day? How many catties of forage does a cow need to be raised to slaughter? How much concentrate feed a beef cattle need per day is calculated according to the weight of the beef cattle.

    What is included in the concentrate feed for cattle?

    Soybean meal, cornmeal, bran, cotton cake, rapeseed cake, soybean cake, bone meal, baking soda, premix, salt, etc.

    1. How many catties of fine material does a cow need every day?

    How much fine feed do beef cattle eat per day? Calculation method: Fine feed intake as a percentage of the weight of beef cattle, which means:

    100 catties of cattle should be guaranteed to be fine feed every day, and the highest should not exceed catties. 500 kg of cattle are guaranteed to be 5 kg of mixed concentrate per day, and 800 kg of beef cattle need about 8 kg of concentrate per day.

    If you buy 400 catties of beef calves and start breeding, and breed them to 1400 catties for slaughter, the weight of this beef cow is 900 catties per day, and about catties of concentrate feed are needed every day.

    If you buy 300 catties of beef calves and start raising them, and breed them to 1200 catties for slaughter, the beef cattle will weigh 750 catties per day and need about catties of concentrate feed every day.

    2. How many catties of forage does a cow need to be raised to slaughter?

    If you start feeding from 400 catties of beef calves and raise them to 1400 catties, it will take 10 months and 300 days, catty per day, and this beef cattle will need a total of about 2970 catties of concentrate feed from the introduction to slaughter.

    If you start raising from 300 catties of beef calves and raise them to 1,300 catties, it will take 10 months and 300 days, and the beef cattle will need a total of about 2,490 catties of concentrate feed from the introduction to the slaughter.

    The daily feed intake (dry matter mass) of breeding cows accounts for about the body weight, and we can calculate the daily feed intake according to the weight of the cow, for example, a 1200 kg adult cow needs to eat 11388 12264 kg of forage in a day, and 11388 12264 kg of forage in a year.

    The ratio of roughage and concentrate in cow forage is not fixed, cows are fed less concentrate if they are in good condition, and more concentrate is fed if they are in poor condition. If the proportion of concentrate feed is calculated according to 10%, then a 1200 kg adult cow needs 10250 11138 kg of roughage and 1138 1226 kg of concentrate a year.

    Breeding cows can not feed too much silage corn stalks, because silage corn stalks are more acidic, which is easy to cause cows to have problems such as abortion, premature birth and weak calves. Generally, silage corn straw can only account for up to 40% of the cow's roughage feeding, 40% of the total amount of roughage a year is 4100 4455 catties, if converted to 60% silage corn straw with a moisture content of 10250 11138 catties. In addition, 6150 6682 kg of other dry roughage, such as corn straw, soybean straw, straw, etc.

    Similarly, the concentrate feed is still only corn can be prepared, and a breeding cow needs to prepare about 682 735 pounds of corn.

    It takes about 300 catties of forage, so the amount of forage needed is still very much, so the cost of raising a cow is also very high, and the natural price is not cheap.

    Taking fattening cattle as an example, if they eat grass, they can eat about 10,000 catties of forage in 1 year, and if they eat hay, they can eat about 6,300 catties of forage in 1 year. The amount of grass eaten by cattle depends on the specific situation, and the amount of food eaten by different breeds of cattle is not the same, so it is recommended to develop different feeding plans at different times so that cattle can grow quickly.

    For example, the daily dry matter to body weight ratio of cattle in the growth period is slightly higher than that of adult cattle, the feed nutrition is poor, the ratio of dry matter to body weight is slightly higher than that of nutrition, and the proportion of dry matter mass to body weight is slightly higher than that of small exercise, we can take 3% as the ratio of dry matter to body weight of cattle, which is not much higher, and not much lower than low.

    Adult cattle are easier to calculate, for example, 1200 kg of breeding cows, a day to eat 36 kg of dry matter amount of feed, breeding cows generally do not need to feed too well, concentrate feed accounts for about 10% of the total amount of the diet, so that a day needs to eat Jin forage and Jin concentrate, a year will need to eat 11826 kg of forage and 1314 kg of concentrate.

    If it is the grass eaten by the fattening cow, a cow can eat 10,000 catties of forage a year, if it is edible hay forage, then a head can eat 6,300 catties of forage a year, in addition, a breeding cow needs to store 136,900 tons of silage corn straw, and choose a flat terrain, sunny ventilation, rich pasture place to build a farm.

    If it is the grass eaten by the fattening cow, a cow can eat 10,000 catties of forage a year, if it is edible hay forage, then a head can eat 6,300 catties of forage a year, in addition, the amount of grass eaten by cattle needs to be related to the breed of cattle and breeding methods.

    Raising a breeding cow requires the storage of 136,900 tons of silage corn stalks, or 18,250,000 tons of fresh pasture, so raising a hundred cows requires at least 1,369 tons of forage, and in the case of self-breeding and self-healing, the amount of forage required is even larger.

    Before raising cattle, you need to choose a flat terrain, sunny ventilation, rich pasture place to build a farm, and select healthy growth, loud cattle for breeding, and cattle in the process of growth need a lot of water, the choice of place should be close to the water source, so as not to lack water and suffer from disease.

    When raising cattle, in order to improve the disease resistance of the herd, vitamin tablets or antibiotics can be added to the food, and the cattle and barn are regularly disinfected, and in the autumn and winter of each year, the cattle are driven back to the pen, and at the same time, hay feed and vegetables, melons and fruits and other foods are prepared twice a day.

At least 15 acres of grassland need to be planted to feed the cattle. In addition, some other roughage should be prepared at the same time as planting grass, such as crop straw, distiller's grains, etc., in order to make up for the lack of forage yield and winter dry grass fodder.

    2. Breeding dairy cows.

    A breeding cow (1000 1200 pounds) consumes 4 tons of dry matter weight of forage per year, which is equivalent to the yield of 4 6 acres of corn straw or 8 10 acres of wheat straw; Therefore, it is necessary to plant at least 25 acres of grassland.

    3. Breeding beef cattle.

    A fattening cow 300 kg to 1300 kg slaughter consumes at least tons of dry matter weight of forage, which is equivalent to the yield of corn straw per mu or 5 6 acres of wheat straw, and needs to plant 20 acres of grassland. Cattle have a wide range of food, and they also like to eat some green plants (or fruits), and can also be planted appropriately such as water peanuts, sweet potato vines (seedlings), corn (seedlings), rice, wheat seedlings, etc.
