Luxi Yellow Cattle is a dual-purpose draft and beef cattle breed. It can not only plow the fields but also provide meat. It has a strong physique, good meat quality, tolerance to coarse feed, and is easy to manage, making it highly favored by farmers. Many people are not very clear about its breeding methods, so the editor below will bring you the breeding technology of Luxi Yellow Cattle. Let's learn about it together.
1. Cattle Shed Construction
The breeding site for Luxi Yellow Cattle should be chosen in a place with flat terrain, sheltered from wind and facing the sun, free from pollution, and with convenient water and electricity supply. Such a plot is suitable for building a cattle shed. After selecting the site, carry out simple clearing work on the plot. The cattle shed should be built using bricks, tiles, wood, and sand and mud materials. The construction method of the cattle shed should be determined according to local climate changes. For example, in hot climate areas, good ventilation work should be done to reduce the possibility of cattle getting sick. After the cattle shed is completed, disinfection work should be carried out. Lime can be scattered on the ground, then medicinal liquid can be sprayed on the roof and walls for disinfection, and finally fumigation should be carried out once to achieve the best disinfection effect.
2. Calf Management
The nursing period of calves is generally half a year. When the time comes, they should be weaned in time to prepare the cow for the next birth. If the calf is still nursing after that time, they should be separated manually. Calves should be fed feed as early as possible during their growth period, which can reduce the pressure on the cow. Generally, after one month, calves can be fed an appropriate amount of feed. More green grass should be fed, and it is not suitable to directly feed straw or rice bran. One week after birth, calves should be allowed to exercise reasonably, which can improve their body immunity, increase their appetite, and promote their growth. Calves have weak resistance, so the sanitation of the cattle shed should be cleaned well. A dirty environment can easily cause calves to get sick, and in severe cases lead to death. In addition, vaccination work should be done well.
3. Breeding Cattle Feeding Management
Bulls can generally be bred at 1.5 years old, but attention should be paid to the number of breeding times, which should not be too many. Bulls that are too old should be eliminated. The nutritional feeding of bulls is relatively important, as it is related to the bull's physique and sperm survival rate. Therefore, when choosing feed, try to choose easily digestible feed, and generally feed 3 times a day. For cows, choose those with a strong body shape, thick neck, broad front chest, flat back, thick buttocks, shiny coat, and good appetite. The feed for cows is also relatively important, especially for calving cows. The feed is mainly cornmeal, bran, soybean cake, fish meal, bone meal, salt, etc.
