What is the most suitable temperature range for beef cattle fattening
The most suitable temperature range for beef cattle fattening
Generally speaking, cattle grow best in an environment with a temperature of 5 to 21 degrees Celsius. In summer (especially when the temperature is above 27 degrees Celsius), pay attention to heat protection work, set up a shade shed at the barn, and avoid exposure to the sun. In winter, after feeding during the day, the cattle can be allowed to bask in the sun outside the barn, and then be brought into the shed in the evening. In order to avoid fattening beef cattle in winter, the breeding and calving season can be adjusted to carry out seasonal fattening. The adjustment method is to concentrate breeding in April to May, calve in early spring February to March of the following year, and send them to market before entering winter at 18 to 20 months of age. Promoting this method can improve the weight gain effect of fattening.
