Every winter, many cattle farmers begin to worry, and their cattle lose fat very seriously. Winter is a difficult season for many animals. If the management is not scientific, the cattle will not only lose fat, but also some calves may get sick or freeze to death due to improper feeding by the breeders. Cattle are herbivores with long growth cycle and slow fat gain. If they lose fat quickly in winter, how worried cattle farmers should be!

 

As the saying goes: "domestic cattle to winter, forage must be filled", then, winter feeding cattle feed have any taboo? In China, beef cattle and dairy cattle are mostly raised in the north, the northern winter temperature is generally0Below ℃, it is very easy to freeze outdoors, and some forage grass for cattle becomes less and less with the cold weather. However, it is time for cattle to gain weight in winter. If the forage grass cannot keep up, it will inevitably affect the growth of beef cattle and cause the resistance of beef cattle to decline. Therefore, solving the problem of forage in winter is an urgent matter for every cattle farmer. In winter, pasture is dry and green fodder is scarce. What should we pay attention to when choosing fodder for cattle?

Phosphorus-rich Rockysignificant efficacy of licking brick:

1: Solve the problem of maternal reproduction (for example, long interbirth time, repeated mating infertility, frequent abortion)

2: extend the peak period of lactation; improve milk production.

3: Extend the life of the mother; (an 8,000-litre cow loses 60kg of minerals in its milk)

4: Improve the comprehensive health index of dairy cows and reduce the incidence of dairy cows (e. g. mastitis, hoof disease).

5: Cow pica disappears (gnawing wood, licking hair, licking urine, gnawing plastic) and the fur is smooth.

6: to promote food digestion, improve feed utilization, saving concentrate.

Quality

1.silageIt is the first choice for some cattle farmers, fearing the high cost of silage, to feed the herd throughout the winter is hay, in fact, the nutrition of silage is far better than hay. If you feed the herd only hay in winter, don't expect the cows to grow fat in winter. When using silage, it is necessary to judge whether the silage is moldy. The color of high-quality silage should be cyan or yellow-green. If the color of silage is black or brown, it means that the silage has deteriorated and become moldy. It is necessary to remove all the deteriorated silage before feeding the cattle. The high quality silage has a sweet and sour smell, with a strong wine aroma or sour pear flavor, and is soft and moist to the touch. If the smell is sour, the hand feels sticky or dry and rough, it means that the silage has been moldy. The cause must be found out and corresponding remedial measures must be taken before cattle can be fed. 

2. feed less green and juicy feed and dregs, add more hay.In winter, cattle should be fed less green and juicy materials and dregs, and more high-quality hay or corn silage. If the cattle are usually fed silage, then add more hay. Because the water content of silage is relatively large, it is easy to cause insufficient intake of dry matter by cattle. Adding hay can increase the intake of dry matter by cattle. At the same time, the amount of concentrate should be increased. In winter, the caloric consumption of cattle is too large, which can increase the concentrate, generally by 10%. Wheat straw, rice straw and dry corn straw must be processed and prepared before feeding, and the frozen or moldy forage should be strictly prevented from feeding cattle.

 

3. the low nutritional value of forage, it is necessary to supplement energy feed and increase the free licking of licking bricks to supplement various trace elements required by dairy cows. In winter, the forage is dry and the nutritional value is reduced. Silage, while good, does not fully supplement all the nutrients needed for herd growth. At the same time, the cold weather and the increase of body heat loss of cattle led to the lack of nutrition in most cattle, calf growth retardation, thin physique, low survival rate, poor development of young cattle, low productivity of adult cattle. In order to change this situation, the cattle should be reasonable feed adjustment, feed more energy feed, such as fattening cattle concentrate feed can be from.40%Increase45%Left and right, can be added in the concentrate2%-3%Oil, such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil and other vegetable oils, cattle can have a better effect of keeping out the cold and fattening. Pay attention to the fact that the amount of oil fed should not be too large and the feeding time should not be too long, only in the coldest2Months or before the market.2Can be fed for a month.
