Lodge Lick Bricks are specially designed for ruminants. The balanced nutritional formula can promote the growth and development of animals, increase milk production, increase body weight and increase reproduction rate. Magnesium, iron, cobalt, iodine, manganese, zinc, selenium, sodium, copper and other elements interact and participate in the metabolism of the body, so it has a great effect and influence on the health, weight gain, milk production, reproduction and other aspects of cattle, and finally brings breeding benefits.

In winter, due to the depletion of pasture, many cattle farmers are prepared in advance to make green some of the farmers left over from the summer as orange sticks.StorageFeed for the winter. But to know in feeding greenStorageThere are also many things to pay attention to when feeding:

 

 

1Training

Silage can be used as the main roughage for herbivorous livestock, cattle and sheep, and generally accounts for the dry matter of the diet.50%The following. Silage is a good juicy feed. However, most livestock that have not been fed silage do not like to eat it when they start feeding. After a training stage, almost all livestock like to eat it. The method of taming food is to mix a small amount of silage with a small amount of refined feed for the first time when the livestock is empty, and feed it after full mixing, so that the livestock cannot be picky. After1-2Weeks of uninterrupted feeding, most livestock can generally get used to it quickly. Then gradually increase the feeding amount. It is better not to feed silage intermittently. On the one hand, it prevents the feed in the cellar from rotting and deteriorating. On the other hand, frequent changes of feed by livestock can easily cause indigestion or unstable production.

 

2Feeding method

Feeding silage should always pay attention to the cleanliness of the feed trough, and the remaining silage should be removed from the trough immediately. When silage is fed in winter and spring, it should be fed as needed to prevent silage from frosting or freezing. It is best to feed silage on an empty stomach in a livestock house or in a warm shed, and then feed hay and concentrate to shorten the feeding time of silage. In winter and early spring, the weather is cold and the silage has high water content. Livestock cannot be fed in large quantities alone. A certain amount of hay or chopped dry corn straw should be mixed. During the feeding process, if the livestock is found to have diarrhea, the feeding should be reduced or stopped, and the feeding should be continued after returning to normal. Feeding cows with silage should be carried out after milking. Do not put silage in the milking breast to avoid damaging the smell of milk. Because silage contains a large number of organic acids, with laxative effect, so the mother late pregnancy should not be fed, prenatal15The day stops feeding. Inferior silage is harmful to the health of the carcass, easy to cause abortion, can not be fed.

 

Silage in dairy farms must ensure a balanced supply throughout the year. Silage is also an important source of roughage for large-scale beef cattle farms. If the quantity of silage is sufficient and the quality is stable, the milk production of cows and the weight gain rate of beef cattle can be kept constant.

 

The dry matter free feed intake of cattle to silage is lower than that of grass or hay with the same effective energy, and the reduction of forage silage is more obvious than that of corn silage. The cause of low silage intake is not very clear, which may be related to the degradation of protein to produce toxic amines, acid inhibition and rumen microbial synthesis process is blocked. It is also believed that the high water content of silage is the main reason.

 

Due to the low intake of silage, silage cannot be used as the only source of roughage in cattle diets, but should be fed with roughage such as hay, and at the same time should be added.Rocky Lick BrickThe free lick of the cow body needs to supplementTrace elements.

3Feeding amount

The amount of silage fed to various types of livestock is determined by the variety of livestock and the type and quality of silage. Silage with good quality can be fed more, but it cannot completely replace all feeds.
