Yellow cattle breeding technology in rural areas

For the selection of Charolais cattle, it is best to choose the first generation of cross between Charolais cattle and local yellow cattle. The first generation of hybrid cattle gained weight quickly, with excellent meat quality and high economic benefits. At the same time, it is necessary to strictly control the age of fattening cattle, and choose calves with a weight of more than 200 kg and a fattening age of 18~24 months. In summer, hybrid cattle must be fattened to 24 months old and weigh more than 500 kilograms. Before fattening, special attention should be paid to the adaptive feeding of cattle.

Breeding method of Charolais cattle

Cattle just bought are not suitable for immediate fattening, so they should be raised in groups according to their size. Only feed the grass without feeding within one week after purchase, drink enough water, and add some salt to the water appropriately to regulate the stomach and promote appetite. In the second week, the feed is gradually concentrated and gradually reaches 2 kg per head per day, which is close to fattening conditions.

Scientific feeding. The concentrated feed of hybrid cattle in summer includes corn, bran, sorghum, oil cake and so on. Roughage includes crop straws commonly used to feed cattle, such as corn straw, wheat straw, rice straw and pasture. The feeding arrangement is carried out in two stages:

This is an intensive feeding phase, which lasts for 8 months. When the weight is 250~300 kg, the proportion of concentrated feed in the diet is 55%, and the crude protein content is 1 1%. Each cow feeds on 6.2 kilograms of dry matter every day, and the feeding period is 55 days, and the daily gain is about 700 grams. When the weight is 350~400 kg, the proportion of concentrated feed in the diet is 75%, and the crude protein content is 10.8%. Each cow feeds on 7.6 kg dry matter every day, the feeding period is 45 days, and the daily gain is 1. 1 kg.
