Feeding and management of beef cattle in early spring

The spring weather is cold, the temperature gradually rises, and the sunshine time is gradually extended. Although the beef cattle have strong adaptability to the cold, the temperature is extremely hot and cold, and the temperature difference can easily cause stress reaction to the body of the beef cattle and induce various diseases of the beef cattle. Therefore, it is particularly important to beef up the management and health care of beef cattle in the early spring. During the spring and cold period, beef cattle must be kept in the following seven aspects:

1, disease prevention. Many beef cattle farms choose to breed beef cattle in winter. Winter breeding can avoid hot summer calving, which not only benefits beef cattle for high yields, but also facilitates breeding of calves and improves calf health. At present, the popularization of animal husbandry science and technology, beef cattle are almost all artificial breeding, but some breeders in the artificial insemination of beef cattle, due to technical reasons and carelessness, sanitation and disinfection is not complete, often easy to cause differences in the vagina and uterus of beef cattle Degree of trauma or infection. During the cold period, we must observe whether there are abnormal changes in the pudendal secretions of beef cattle every day. We must do a good job in the prevention of diseases such as metritis, find diseases, and treat them early to ensure the safety of beef cattle during the cold period.

2, forage feed. Each time the beef cattle has at least 3 diets, the diet should be based on high-quality hay and more silage should be fed. Excipients should give more succulent green feed, such as carrots and potatoes, and the amount of roughage feed to beef cattle. For fullness, the amount of concentrate feed should be determined based on the individual and demand of beef cattle.

3, drinking water. During the cold period, the temperature of drinking water of beef cattle should be maintained at 10°C~12°C. Conditional, drinking water should be sterilized and cooled to 10°C~12°C. It is necessary to ensure beef cattle have sufficient drinking water.

4, insist on brushing cattle body. Every day, 8 to 10 minutes of bovine body care brushing is guaranteed. The health brush should be applied to the entire body of the beef cattle. For the beef udders, proper grasping and massage should be carried out by hand, which is beneficial to prevent beef udder inflammation.

5, increase the health time of the sun bath. The sun often has a health effect on beef cattle, enhances the immunity of beef cattle, and prevents various infections. Because the ultraviolet rays in the sun have the effect of killing pathogenic microorganisms. Ultraviolet rays increase the absorption of calcium. During the winter feeding period, beef cattle consume a large amount of heat energy and nutrients due to cold resistance. The relative loss of calcium intake is relatively large, and the intake of calcium is to use the blood of beef cattle. Vitamin D. Natural vitamin D can only be converted into vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 after exposure to ultraviolet light, which can be absorbed into the blood by the beef cattle body.

6, appropriate to strengthen sports. The temperature in early spring rose and the weather became warmer. Beef cows lay on their feet when they used to eat, and they did not want to exercise. Every day, beef cattle should be allowed to exercise for 2 hours to 3 hours. This will not only promote the health of beef cattle, but also increase the amount of milk that can be delivered by beef cattle. When the spring is bright and the weather is beautiful, it is very important for the health of the beef cattle to rush the cows to the open grass, to breathe the fresh air of nature, and allow the cattle to move freely.

7, keep the temperature of the cowhouse. Cold weather in spring weather, large temperature difference between day and night, farmers tend to ignore the cold work on beef cattle, it is easy to cause disease of beef cattle, easy to cause high feeding costs, therefore, ventilation during the day 3 hours to 5 hours It is necessary to timely close doors and windows and adjust the ventilation holes. It is necessary to regularly disinfect, clean up the excrement of beef cattle in a timely manner, keep the house dry and clean, and promptly replace the grass on the ground to be contaminated by faeces, to create a better living environment for beef cattle. .
