Newly purchased cattle must undergo a comprehensive examination. Only healthy ones may be injected with vaccines against foot-and-mouth disease, brucellosis, and Clostridium welchii disease before being admitted to the barn for mixed rearing, and deworming and stomach conditioning should be carried out before formal fattening.</p><p>Fattening in stages. The fattening period for thin cattle should generally be controlled at 50-60 days and can be divided into three stages: The first stage (6-8 days) is mainly to train the cattle to go to the trough and learn to eat mixed feed. The second stage (10-12 days) is mainly to restore body condition, gradually increasing the amount of mixed feed in feeding. The third stage (35-40 days). Increase the daily amount of mixed feed fed to each head of cattle, and provide sufficient high-quality green grass, dry hay, or ammoniated straw feed.</p><p>Careful management. During the fattening period, try to create a warm, quiet, and comfortable living environment for the thin cattle. In the later stage of fattening, pay attention to observing the growth condition of the cattle and sell them promptly.</p>
