The breeding methods and technologies of fattening cattle involve many aspects such as feeding management, feed preparation, disease prevention and control, etc. The following is a detailed introduction to fattening cattle breeding:

Selection and introduction of seeds:

Choose short-term and efficient meat varieties or hybrids to ensure a short fattening period, good meat quality, and fast growth, such as Angus, Black and White Stone, etc. When introducing new breeds, young cattle should be selected that are healthy, well-fed, and of good quality.

Feeding and management:

Provide clean, spacious and well-ventilated cow sheds to maintain a comfortable feeding environment, avoid accumulation of feces, and keep drinking water clean. Clean the cattle shed regularly to maintain the health of the cattle.

According to different growth stages, formulate a reasonable feeding plan, reasonably arrange daily feed and drinking water, and ensure that the cattle are fully fed. Provide sufficient feed to ensure adequate supply of protein and energy to meet the growth needs of cattle.

Feed preparation:

According to the growth needs of different stages, different feeds are prepared, and according to the protein, fiber, vitamin and other contents of the feed, the feed is reasonably matched to provide balanced nutrition.

Pay attention to the supply of roughage, such as high-quality hay, to meet the rumination needs of cattle. At the same time, fattening cattle require high-protein, high-energy feed, such as corn, soybean meal, etc., to promote muscle growth.

Disease prevention and control:

Implement regular immunizations to prevent the occurrence of common diseases, such as foot and mouth disease, mad cow disease, dysentery, etc. At the same time, the health monitoring of cattle herds should be strengthened and sick cattle should be dealt with in a timely manner.

Prevent and control parasites, conduct parasite elimination and deworming regularly to keep cattle healthy.

Regular weight measurement:

Regularly measure the weight of fattening cattle, adjust the feed mix in time, and control the feeding progress of fattening cattle. Different growth stages require different feeding plans and feeds, and body weight measurement helps to understand the growth of cattle.

Regular exercise:

In order to promote muscle growth in fattening cattle, regular moderate exercise is necessary. Generally, a grazing land of appropriate size can be arranged to allow the fattening cattle to move moderately and increase their appetite.

The above-mentioned methods and technologies are key links in the breeding process of fattening cattle, ensuring the healthy growth and efficient fattening of fattening cattle. Comprehensive scientific breeding, rational feeding, regular quarantine and health monitoring are all important guarantees for ensuring the efficiency of fattening cattle breeding.
