Can straw be directly fed to cattle? What should I pay attention to?

Straw can be directly fed to cattle, which contains a lot of trace elements and organic matter; However, the following points should be noted:

1, it is best to cut the straw into sections. If you just give it to cows, it is often not enough. It is also necessary to add some green feed, such as carrots, to increase the palatability of the feed.

2. The straw is dry. After feeding the cow straw, feed it with water regularly. In fact, cows also need to drink water, otherwise they will become impatient, which will affect the mood of cows and thus affect their growth and development.

The rate of singleton and twin in cattle generally only accounts for 1 ~ 2.3% of the total pregnancy. Except that yaks in alpine regions are in seasonal estrus due to perennial grazing and climate influence, cows kept in houses are generally in estrus for many times all the year round. The estrous cycle is basically similar, with an average of about 2 1 day and a gestation period of about 280 days.
