Detailed Explanation of the Key Points of Finishing Cattle Feeding and Management Technology

Cattle farming is now a very important breeding project in our country. As people's demand for beef grows, the scale of short-term finishing cattle farming is also increasing. Many people have now become wealthy through raising finishing cattle, and the farming benefits are relatively high. So how should we manage finishing cattle when raising them? Below, the editor brings you the feeding and management technology for finishing cattle. Let's take a look together!

1. Selection of Finishing Cattle

The selection of finishing cattle is very important; the quality directly determines the degree of finishing of the cattle. It is also related to the finishing ability of the cattle. When selecting finishing cattle, we should choose those that are robust, disease-free, and weigh around 250kg. The age should preferably not exceed half a month. This kind of finishing cattle has very strong growth ability, can also effectively reduce finishing costs, and improve farming benefits.

2. Temperature Control

The temperature of the finishing cattle barn should not be too high and should be controlled at around 6-9 degrees. If the temperature is unsuitable, it will not only affect cattle finishing but also cause adverse phenomena such as loss of fat. However, in winter when the temperature is low, attention should also be paid to keeping warm. Pay attention to sealing leaks and avoid wind coming through openings. When keeping warm, attention should also be paid to ventilation to ensure small heat loss and improve the finishing effect. In summer, attention should be paid to preventing direct sunlight and cooling appropriately.

3. Reasonable Feeding

Before the finishing cattle enter the barn, deworming work should be done well to prevent parasites from harming the growth of the finishing cattle. Then let the cattle drink enough water. The feed should first be mainly roughage, and then concentrate feed should be given, to avoid excessive energy consumption. When feeding, the principle of fixed time and fixed quantity should be followed. In winter, cold water must not be used for feeding, and the water quality must be sufficiently clean. Each feeding should let the cattle eat their fill, and moldy or spoiled feed must not be fed.

4. Feed Matching

Feed matching is also something that needs special attention during finishing. We should reasonably match the feed according to the body weight and growth condition of the finishing cattle, ensuring comprehensive feed nutrition that can meet the sufficient nutrition needed for cattle finishing. After the cattle are full, residual feed should be cleaned up in time to ensure feed quality. In addition, the water trough and feed trough should be disinfected regularly to prevent the breeding of germs and affect normal cattle finishing.

5. Epidemic Prevention and Deworming

Before cattle finishing, not only should deworming work be done well, but epidemic prevention measures should also be carried out according to specific procedures. Reasonable epidemic prevention can inhibit the invasion of germs and reduce the probability of disease occurrence. During farming, the cattle body should be wiped at least once a day to keep the cattle body clean. Then disinfect the feeding utensils every day and disinfect the cattle barn regularly. When abnormal conditions are found in the cattle, the cause should be identified in time and then treated according to the symptoms.

The above is a brief introduction to finishing cattle feeding and management technology. We also need to pay attention to the finishing time, because the high-temperature and high-humidity environment in summer can easily affect finishing cattle, so summer should be avoided as much as possible to avoid affecting the finishing effect. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
