Winter cattle increase seven points

In winter, grass should be sufficient to feed cattle and forage. Under normal circumstances, each cow needs about 1,500 kilograms of silage, such as silage, hay, rice straw and corn stover. The forage should be well-grounded, and the wind and snow cover must be prevented to ensure that the forage grass is not bad and spoils.

Before the winter, we must repair the cowshed, plug the wind tunnel, and ensure that the roof does not leak rain and snow. At night, we must hang curtains on the door to prevent the cold. We must keep the hay and dry soil in the cowshed and we should clean the cow dung every day to keep the house clean and dry. .

Feed the straw carefully. Feed the fodder first and then feed the concentrate. Forage should be diversified, grass, straw, wheat grass, corn leaves, sweet potato vines, peanuts, etc. mixed and fed. In addition to feeding enough coarse material each day, feeds such as corn, cakes, bran, and barley should also be fed. Each cow feeds 10 to 12 kilograms of roughage per day. At the same time, 10 grams of salt, 15 grams of bone meal, and 30 grams of urea are added per 100 kilograms of body weight (fed into concentrated feed after melting).

As the saying goes, “grass weeds, materials, and water spirit” means that raising good cows not only feeds good materials, but also provides sufficient drinking water. Generally, each cow should drink 35 to 45 kilograms of water every day and night, drink 3 to 4 times a day, and the water temperature should be around 40°C.

Brush often swab cattle body, help keep the cow's skin clean and hygienic, can remove ectoparasites in time, but also promote blood circulation of cattle, enhance cold resistance.

The net forage must not contain sand, dirt, foreign matter, must not be mildewed, and should not allow cattle to drink muddy water or contaminate water. The water should be fresh and clean, the homes should be clean, the manger should be cleaned daily, the residual forage should be removed, and the grass should be brushed frequently to prevent the bacteria from contaminating the remaining forage and affecting the health of the cattle.

Anti-battle prevention. The cowshed should be regularly sterilized with 2% lime milk. The tableware should be regularly disinfected with 2%~3% potassium permanganate solution. The cattle should be dewormed once in winter, and other diseases should be prevented and the disease should be promptly treated.
