Feeding management points for cattle

In some rural areas in China, grazing cattle are still an indispensable driving force for agricultural production. Scientific feeding and management, rational service, and especially strengthening the management of farm cattle during the busy farming period are of great significance for protecting the health of cattle and promoting agricultural production. I. Feeding tips for grazing cattle During farming periods, grazing cattle are generally fed three times in the early, middle, and evening hours and are fed once more in the middle of the night. The concentrate can be fed twice in the morning and at noon. Feed more grass and hay in the evening. Feeding should be carried out about two hours prior to service, so that the cows have enough time to feed and ruminate, and should rest about half an hour after serving. Feed the crushed coarse material first, then sprinkle a small amount of fine material in the coarse material, add appropriate amount of water and mix well until it is finished. It's best to sprinkle some salt water on the remaining grass so that the cow can eat all the remaining grass. In terms of dietary supplements, sufficient water should be given to grazing cattle. The daily drinking water is generally 3 to 5 times, and the total amount is 30 to 40 kg. Feed 20 to 30 grams of salt daily. After the service, do not drink water immediately. Take a rest for about half an hour before drinking. After drinking, give the cow a proper rest time for rumination. Second, the management of farm cattle key housing requirements spacious, clean, ventilated, dry. We must be able to work hard, keep up, and diligently sweep, so that cattle can rest comfortably. To remove the dust and feces from the surface of the cattle body, keep the body clean, promote blood circulation, eliminate fatigue, promote health, and prevent skin diseases. After each day of service, the mud on the hooves of the cows should be wiped clean and the hoof shape should be maintained. Every year, hoofs should be repaired 2 or 3 times. When bovine diseases are found in time, such as bovine sluggishness, loss of appetite, dryness of the nose, abnormal feces, and elevated body temperature, stop the causatives immediately and promptly treat them. Pay attention to the heatstroke killer, because cattle's sweat glands are underdeveloped and the heat resistance is poor. Therefore, after the battle, the cows should be rushed to the shade and rested. The buffaloes should best drive into the pond to dissipate heat. In the barn in summer, smoked grasses such as grasses and jatropha are used to prevent mosquitoes and flies from infesting cattle. Third, cultivating cattle to the main points of the suit must be combined with the body of cattle, cricket size, angle should be appropriate, the length of the set of rope to adjust well, plough to match, in order to improve operational efficiency, to avoid injury accidents. In the process of military service, we must implement the principle of “combination of cultivation, cultivation, and utilization” so that humans can be friendly and do not whip at will. To work and rest, generally 2 hours of service, should rest for half an hour, the daily service time is not more than 8 hours is appropriate. If, during cavalry, cows are found to have neck extensions, back depressions, tail tips, hoof sharps, uneven running speeds, and continuous urination, proper rest should be given. If there is anorexia after exercise, but there are no other symptoms of illness, the rest time should be extended. China Agricultural Network Editor
