Why should cattle and sheep not be fed rice water after giving birth?
A farmer fed rice water to a cow after it gave birth to a calf, which caused rumen acidosis in the cow. Fortunately, the veterinarian treated it in time, so no loss was caused. According to the veterinarian, livestock are weak after giving birth, and feeding a moderate amount of rice water can supplement nutrition, strengthen the bones and muscles, and help cattle and sheep produce more milk. However, this is not the case for ruminant livestock such as cattle and sheep; drinking rice water after giving birth can easily cause rumen acidosis. After cattle and sheep develop this disease, for milder cases, sodium bicarbonate (cattle 60-100 grams, sheep 15-30 grams) and ginger tincture (cattle 80-100 milliliters,

What causes anorexia in pigs? How should it be treated?
1. Add a little spiciness. When pigs have a poor appetite, feeding them a little pepper powder, chili peppers, etc. is very effective. Because pepper powder and chili peppers contain a pungent taste and aroma and are stimulating, after pigs eat them, the gastrointestinal secretions increase, thereby accelerating gastrointestinal motility and improving digestive capacity. Especially for lactating sows, adding a small amount of pepper powder, etc. to the feed can not only increase the sow's feed intake, but also reduce the incidence of disease in piglets and promote earlier weaning of piglets. 2. Feed a little more sweetness. Add an appropriate amount of saccharin to pig feed. Fattening pigs like it, and after eating it they become plump and strong; lactating sows like it even more

Feeding pigs dry feed has many benefits; these advantages are something farmers should know
The traditional method of feeding pigs with watery feed is not conducive to the growth and development of pigs. Because adding too much water to the feed will prevent pigs from chewing the feed thoroughly, affect saliva secretion, dilute gastric juice, be unfavorable for digestion, and cause frequent urination, creating an extra physiological burden and consuming nutrients. According to measurements, when pigs eat 200 grams of dry feed, they secrete 335 milliliters of saliva; if 200 grams of water is added, saliva secretion drops to 196 milliliters; when 600 grams of water is added, saliva secretion is only 115 milliliters. Therefore, when pigs eat watery feed, it will seriously affect digestion and absorption, leading to dry feces

Why should sheep drink enough warm water in winter and spring?
In winter and spring, because the temperature is relatively low, if sheep are given cold water or even water with ice particles, they are unwilling to drink it, which will cause insufficient water intake. This not only slows down the digestion of sheep feed, blocks metabolism in the body, and reduces body condition, but also causes various diseases. Therefore, in production, drinking water conditions must be created for sheep to ensure clean and sufficient drinking water. Drinking water temperature: if the water the sheep drink is too low in temperature, the water will absorb the heat that the sheep itself converts from feed, which will reduce feed utilization. Therefore, in winter and spring, the best drinking water temperature for sheep is 20-30°C

Sheep nasal bot fly disease is highly harmful; how should it be prevented and treated?
Sheep nasal bot fly disease is a parasitic disease caused by the bot fly parasitizing the nasal cavity and cranial sinuses of sheep. In recent years, among the flocks raised by farmers in our region, because insufficient attention was paid to the prevention and treatment of bot fly disease, the infection rate of sheep nasal bot fly disease rose sharply, affecting the normal growth and development of sheep and seriously affecting the fattening results of sheep. Through in-depth systematic investigation and study of sheep nasal bot fly disease among farmers and farms, and observation of prevention and treatment, the author achieved relatively good results, now reported as follows: 1. Pathogen

What should be paid attention to during the processing of shiitake mushrooms?
Shiitake mushrooms have long been known as a mountain delicacy, rich in nutrients and delicious in taste. Their dried products (commonly known as dried mushrooms) are classified into flower shiitake, winter shiitake, thick shiitake and thin shiitake. However, because current drying techniques and other methods lag behind, dried shiitake products suffer from problems such as poor color, weak aroma and unattractive mushroom shape, seriously affecting their commercial value. If shiitake mushrooms are processed well, their value can be increased by nearly 1 times. The following discusses the key techniques of processing methods for dried shiitake products: 1. Sun-drying method. Stop spraying water on the mushroom bodies 2 days before harvesting shiitake mushrooms, and choose clear weather

How should rhododendrons be fertilized correctly?
Rhododendrons are flowers that do not need heavy fertilization. If too much fertilizer is applied or it is too concentrated, it will instead be harmful to their growth. But this is not to say that no fertilizer should be applied at all. To make them bloom abundantly and produce large flowers, it is still necessary to apply some fertilizer at the right time and in the right amount. Therefore, flower-growing experts have summed up their experience with fertilization in 8 words: "Apply dry fertilizer sparingly, apply liquid fertilizer thinly." This is very appropriate and worth referring to for flower growers. Under normal circumstances, 1-2 year old seedlings do not need fertilization, because the fertility contained in the humus soil is already enough to supply the needs of seedling growth and development. 2

What medication should be used to disinfect fish fingerlings? Polymeric iodine works well
Winter and spring are the seasons with a high incidence of fish saprolegniasis, so disinfection of fish fingerlings must focus on preventing and treating saprolegniasis. After the specific remedy malachite green was banned, polymeric iodine is a relatively ideal medication for preventing and treating saprolegniasis. The full name of polymeric iodine is compound S polymeric iodine. It has an extremely strong killing effect on bacteria, viruses and fungi, and its bactericidal capacity is more than 10 times higher than that of povidone iodine. In addition, polymeric iodine contains a relatively high amount of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, and for fish fingerlings injured by net-pulling operations and long-distance transport, it has the function of healing wounds extremely quickly.

What nutritional points should be noted when raising piglets in spring and summer?
From March to June, temperatures gradually rise, which is exactly a favorable period for developing pig production. Four issues should be noted in feeding. First, pay attention to temperature changes. In spring and summer, temperatures vary greatly, there is more rain, and humidity is relatively high. Pigs prefer a dry environment, have little fat tissue, and piglets are prone to feeling cold. Therefore, the temperature inside the shed and the dry environment of the pen should be maintained. Second, pay attention to increasing protein feed. Especially for piglets that have undergone long-distance transport, because they are stimulated by wind, cold, and the bumps of vehicles and boats, some piglets

What are the precautions for feeding pigs with distillers' grains? Farmers should keep them in mind
Distillers' grains are divided into baijiu distillers' grains and beer distillers' grains. Baijiu distillers' grains have 32 percent dry matter, 3.36 MJ per kg digestible energy, and 7.5 percent crude protein. Beer distillers' grains have 14 percent dry matter, 1.43 MJ per kg digestible energy, and 3.6 percent crude protein. Whether baijiu distillers' grains or beer distillers' grains, they must be fed fresh; if piled up for a long time, they will become moldy and spoiled. If there is any left over, it can be put into a large vat, trampled down firmly, and soaked in water. Pregnant sows and lactating sows are not suitable for feeding, to prevent miscarriage, stillbirth, and so on. For meat pigs, it generally does not exceed the daily ration
