What are the ways to raise livestock and poultry

What are the ways to raise livestock and poultry? The following is my carefully organized for you to take a look at the livestock and poultry rearing methods.

Livestock and poultry rearing

Generally refers to the livestock on the way to eat feed, including feed on livestock and livestock on the feed two basic types. The former more in the barn feeding, it is called feeding; the latter is to make the livestock feed on their own growth, left on the land feed, it is called grazing; part of the feeding, part of the grazing is called semi-fertilization. In different countries and regions, feeding methods are not the same, but from grazing to feeding is the general trend of feeding methods in most areas of human society. At the same time, grazing and rounding itself changes with the development of productivity. Changes in feeding methods reflect the development of animal husbandry from rough management to intensive management.

The earliest feeding method in grazing animal husbandry is nomadic herding that completely utilizes natural feed. Nomadism is suitable for livestock in the natural environment of life habits, natural fodder and the most widely distributed vegetation on earth, and can be naturally renewed, in the ancient times of the scarcity of livestock is the nomadic inexhaustible fodder resources, so nomadism has been a very long period of history of the human race in the important production activities. With the increase of livestock, the emergence of livestock more grass less contradiction, relying on the grazing of animal husbandry will be turned into a long-term stagnation stage. Until modern times, when productivity has developed, grassland improvement has been carried out, and grazing has been developed again. The improvement of natural grassland, is the big change of grazing conditions, is to make the natural grassland constantly reduce the natural component and increase the artificial component and finally become the process of artificial grassland; also is the grazing of the use of fodder from natural resources into the process of human labor products, as well as gradually change the nomadic pastoralism for the process of fixed pastoralism. Grazing this long history of feeding methods, the development and utilization of large areas of grassland still has important significance. Because of the electric fence, animal husbandry machinery, livestock chemical products, and the extensive use of aircraft seeding, grazing water conservancy project construction, the promotion of fine varieties and disease prevention and control of new technologies, production management improvement, and make the grazing gradually to modernization.

Shelter feeding is started as a supplement to grazing. As grazing is limited by natural feed, plantation industry has become an increasingly important feed base, feeding gradually become the main feeding mode. The development of roundup feeding reflects the increased dependence of livestock farming on plantations, as well as the development of livestock farming in agricultural areas. Shelter feeding provides conditions for the development of livestock and poultry not suitable for grazing and the expansion of the content of animal husbandry; at the same time, it strengthens the control of people over livestock and is conducive to the adoption of new technologies. Factory feeding is the modernization of housed feeding, can fully control the environment, so that livestock become an organic part of the entire livestock product factory machine system, thus significantly improving the labor productivity of animal husbandry.

Semi-housed semi-housed feeding is due to grazing can not meet the needs of feed, so supplemented with housed feeding; some are housed livestock in order to use the feed resources available for grazing, such as the nearby natural grasslands, field weeds, etc.. Semi-housed in the form of daytime grazing, evening fodder; some are summer and autumn grazing, winter and spring fodder; there is also a breeding stage of grazing, fattening stage fodder, and in the region to form the same livestock first in the pasture breeding, after fattening in the agricultural areas. The development of the feed industry, additives and supplemental feeds are widely used, so that the pure grazing does not combine with feeding tends to reduce.

Sometimes feeding mode also refers to the form of operation in animal husbandry, such as China's collective ownership of livestock in the cooperative economy of unified feeding or public private (scattered to the members of the family feeding), private private (members of the private sector of livestock by their own private feeding) and so on.

What is Livestock and Poultry

It refers to the use of animals such as livestock, poultry and other animals that have been domesticated by our human captive breeding, or the physiological functions of deer, musk, fox, mink, otter, quail, and other wildlife, through artificial feeding, breeding, so that they can convert plant energy such as pasture and fodder into animal energy to obtain meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, hides, silk and medicinal herbs and other livestock products production process.
