Whether to feed urea to cattle depends on the forage situation
Feeding urea to cattle: urea can be digested by microorganisms in the cattle's rumen and synthesized into microbial protein, replacing part of the protein feed, so urea is a high-quality protein supplement feed for cattle. But urea is not protein after all, and its utilization efficiency is affected by many conditions. Generally speaking, feeding urea to cattle should be decided according to the forage situation. In winter and spring, when the diet is mainly based on rough and inferior feeds such as wheat straw, dry corn stalks and dry hay, urea can be added; in summer and autumn, when the diet is mainly based on green forage, it should not be fed. Tests have shown that when the crude protein content in the feed is

Can Blood Parrot Cichlids and Koi Be Kept Together?
Someone asked whether Blood Parrot Cichlids can be kept together with koi. The answer is a definite no: these two kinds of fish are simply not suitable for being kept together at all.

Second, Blood Parrot Cichlids are especially sensitive to low oxygen in the water, and koi also have a very high oxygen demand, so if your tank is small, you should be even less inclined to keep them together. Third, Blood Parrot Cichlids belong to the cichlid family and are somewhat aggressive.

Can Keeping Chickens, Ducks, and Geese Together with Pigs Lead to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza?
Poultry should not be kept together with pigs, because influenza viruses from poultry can infect pigs, and human influenza viruses can also infect pigs. Since influenza viruses have 8 different nucleic acid segments, when these two different virus particles infect a single cell together, their nucleic acid segments undergo reassortment and rearrangement to produce new types of influenza virus particles. These new influenza virus particles can often cause major epidemics in humans, resulting in great harm. In addition, chickens should not be kept together with waterfowl such as ducks and geese, because

How can snow jujubes be turned into gold? Let's all put our heads together
Panchi Township is a mountainous area, and wild sour jujubes grow all over the hillsides. In recent years, the farmers have believed in scientific farming, invited professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and successfully grafted and cultivated pear jujubes and snow jujubes, crisp, sweet and fragrant.

How to Cleverly Identify Whether Fish Have Eaten Their Fill
1. Pay close attention to how long the fish take to eat at the feeding tray or feeding ground. If, after a certain amount of feed is put in (the normal feeding amount), the fish finish the feed in less than 2 hours, it means the feed is insufficient and some fish have not eaten or have not eaten their fill, so an appropriate amount should be added. If the feeding amount per ten-day period is fixed and the daily feeding amount within the period is the same, but by the end of the period the feed put in is finished by the fish in less than 2 hours, it means the fish have gained weight and the feed amount should be increased. When feeding compound pellet feed, if the feed has already been finished but the school of fish is still swimming rapidly on the surface layer searching for food and is unwilling to sink into the "second layer of water," it indicates the fish have not eaten their fill. If the school of fish has already dispersed from the feeding tray or feeding ground and there is still leftover bait, the fish have eaten more than their fill, and the feeding amount can be appropriately reduced next time.
