As the weather gets colder, cattle farmers need to keep the barn warm in advance so that the cattle can live in a comfortable environment after winter. Perhaps many people think that cattle are adaptable and not afraid of severe cold, and keeping cattle sheds warm only increases the trouble, but do you really know the benefits of keeping cattle sheds warm in winter?
As the weather gets colder, cattle farmers need to keep the barn warm in advance so that the cattle can live in a comfortable environment after winter. Perhaps many people think that cattle are adaptable and not afraid of severe cold, and keeping cattle sheds warm only increases the trouble, but do you really know the benefits of keeping cattle sheds warm in winter?
In to introduce to youCattle shed warmBefore measures, first introduce the benefits of keeping the cowshed warm. First of all, keeping the cowshed warm can improve the growth rate and feed utilization rate of cattle, because when the temperature of the cowshed is low, the cattle will increase the energy consumption required for keeping out the cold, which in turn will increase the feed consumption and affect the normal growth. When the temperature of the cowshed is high, the energy consumption required for keeping out the cold can be reduced, so that more nutrition can be used for the growth of cattle.
Secondly, keeping the cattle house warm can reduce the incidence of cattle. Lower temperature or large temperature difference between day and night may cause cattle to get sick, especially young cattle and old and weak cattle with relatively poor resistance are more likely to get sick. Keeping the cattle house warm can reduce the cause of the disease and reduce the incidence. In addition, keeping the cowshed warm can also avoid the problems of freezing stiffness, cold, pneumonia and indigestion due to the cold, thus greatly improving the survival rate of newborn calves.
From many years of experience, there are three good ways to keep cattle houses warm, which can be applied to most cattle farmers.
First, it is not too cold in winter in many places, or the construction of cattle houses is relatively simple (open on many sides), or they are unwilling to invest too much energy and money in keeping cattle houses warm. In this case, canvas or plastic sheets can be used to enclose cattle houses for wind protection and keeping warm. Xiaobian personally feels that it is better to use plastic cloth than canvas. First, plastic cloth is cheaper, second, plastic cloth has better light transmittance, and third, plastic cloth has better windshield effect. Of course, the choice of plastic cloth also has a certain attention, ordinary plastic cloth is too thick and not sun-resistant, can choose the greenhouse with no drip film plastic cloth that is strong and sun-resistant, if there is a special breeding“Weizi”Dripless plastic sheeting is even better. This plastic sheeting has a tube that can be worn through a wire rope for suspension. I bought it a few days ago.140Meters3meters wide,7sthick“Weizi”Plastic cloth without drip film, only used300Yuan (weight55catty,5.5Yuan/catty).
Second, warm shed to keep warm
The warm-keeping effect of warm shed is better than that of simple windshield. In northern areas, warm sheds can be used to keep cattle houses warm. The warm-keeping effect of single-sided open cattle houses is relatively good, while the warm-keeping effect of multi-sided open cattle houses is relatively poor. Warm sheds are usually built on the sunrise side, with the keel of the greenhouse spliced on the sunrise and open side, and then covered with special non-drip plastic sheeting for the greenhouse. If the local winter night temperature is extremely low, a layer of cotton felt can also be added to the top for night heat preservation. The cost of using a warm shed to keep warm is slightly higher than that of a simple windshield. The higher cost is mainly the keel of the greenhouse. However, the keel of the greenhouse can be used continuously for several years, and its cost will drop significantly from the second year.
Third, padding to keep warm
Most cattle sheds are cement hardened ground. In winter, it is very cool for cattle to lie directly on it. They can lay sawdust, rice husk and other bedding materials to keep warm. General bedding for warm only20~30Cm thick bedding is enough, not enough. due to insufficient bedding thickness, cow dung cannot be decomposed and fermented, and cow dung still needs to be cleaned regularly. As a fermentation bed for decomposition of cow dung, at least bedding is required.40~50Centimeters thick litter, while inoculated with fermentation bacteria, fermentation bacteria in the process of decomposition and utilization of cow dung will produce a certain amount of heat, can improve the temperature in the barn. In order to make the fermentation bed work better, the fermentation bed needs to be maintained. First, the cowshed should be kept at a certain temperature to improve the activity of fermentation bacteria. Second, the place where cow dung accumulates too much should be turned over to avoid burning. Finally, I would like to talk about the problems that need to be paid attention to in keeping the cowshed warm. Warm keeping and ventilation should reach a balance. It can be said that in order to keep the cowshed warm, many cattle farmers enclose the cowshed airtight, which leads to turbid air in the cowshed and an increase in the content of toxic and harmful gases. Cattle living in this environment for a long time can easily induce respiratory diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve a balance between warmth and ventilation. During the day, when the temperature rises, the doors and windows of the cowshed can be opened or plastic sheeting can be lifted for ventilation. In the afternoon, when the temperature drops, the doors and windows should be closed in time to keep the cowshed warm. In addition, if no fermentation bed is used, the manure in the cowshed should be cleaned up in time to avoid toxic and harmful gases such as ammonia and peculiar smell.
