Calves that have not yet been weaned, or that have not undergone early training at the time of weaning, are best not to eat distiller's grains. After a period of time, the digestive system is fully developed and can provide a small amount and then gradually increase. If the cattle usually gastrointestinal digestive function is not good, such cattle is also try not to feed distiller's grains. In addition, if some cattle only appear swelling disease, eczema, knee swelling and so on. The use of distiller's grains should also be discontinued.

Feed, after eating too much, produces more heat, which may affect the feed intake and digestibility of cattle, and it is also easy to cause acidosis, so we pay more attention to when feeding in summer. Distillers grains can also be fed in the summer, but the use should be strictly controlled. Let's talk about the matters needing attention when feeding distiller's grains in summer.

Precautions when using distiller's grains
1. Control amount: Distiller's grains feed is certainly good. If ruminants use more, acidosis will also occur. We can use some baking soda while feeding. Try not to use it for a long time. Cattle who eat Distiller's grains for a long time will have gastroenteritis and ulceration of the true stomach.
2. Pay attention to the season: Try not to use distiller's grains in winter, because it will freeze in the cattle trough.

When using in summer, it is best to feed around 1.45 o'clock in the morning and around 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening. Because the weather has cooled down at this time, after eating, it is conducive to his digestion and will not produce a lot of heat.
In addition, the summer feed formula should also be adjusted appropriately, and the energy feed in the cattle feed formula can be reduced. This is conducive to their food intake, but also conducive to their resistance to external high temperature, to prevent the phenomenon of heat stroke, especially Simmental cattle this heat-labile type.
