What should cattle eat when raising cattle in rural areas? What are the precautions for raising cattle?

Many people think that raising cattle is a relatively simple job without high technical content, but raising cattle is not as simple as expected. If there is a problem in any link of feeding management, raising cattle may fail. Today, the editor mainly introduces how to feed cows. I hope it will help many novice friends who raise cattle. The feed intake of cattle is affected by breed, size, use, growth rate, feed quality and other factors. Generally speaking, the daily vegetarian diet (building quality) accounts for about 2.5%~3.2% of the body weight. According to this figure, roughly calculate the vegetarian amount of cattle of different sizes, and then make appropriate adjustments.

Niu Yi eats twice a day, once in the morning, and eats less in the morning than in the afternoon. The food intake in the morning accounts for about 35% to 40% of the daily total, and the food intake in the afternoon accounts for 60% to 65% of the daily total. The specific feeding time should be adjusted according to the temperature. When the temperature is high in summer and autumn, breakfast should be eaten in advance, and the meal in the afternoon should be postponed until it is relatively cool. When the temperature is low in winter and spring, breakfast should be postponed, and meals should be given in the afternoon in advance, and then fed when it is relatively warm. If conditions permit, turquoise gravy feed can be supplemented at noon in summer and hay at night in winter.

The feed was not crushed. Especially straw feed and feed mix will affect the feed intake of cattle, which will not only cause feed waste, but also affect the growth of cattle. However, if the feed is too broken, cows are prone to stomach obstruction (between white leaves), gastrointestinal ulcers and other problems, so it is also unfavorable to the health of cattle.

Feed loses some nutrients during heating, so it is very troublesome to master feed every day when there are many cows. Of course, there are also cases where you need to master the feed. When feeding cowpeas, boil the heat out. Soybean contains anti-nutritional factors such as anti-trypsin, which affects digestion after vegetarian diet and can only be fed to cattle if it is destroyed by heating, but most soybean powder does not need to be heated again. During the processing, the heat has expanded.
