Feeding of feeder cattle during the second stage of high-concentrate intensive fattening
Feeding of feeder cattle during the second stage of high-concentrate intensive fattening
The second stage runs from day 16 to day 60. At this time, the dry matter intake of the feeder cattle should gradually reach 8 kg, the dietary protein level should be 11%, the concentrate-to-roughage ratio should be 6 to 4, and the average daily gain should be about 1 kg. The concentrate formula is: 75% cornmeal, 20% cottonseed cake (or soybean cake), 10% wheat bran. Give each head of cattle 20 g of salt and 100 g of premix (containing trace elements and vitamins) per day.
