Fast and Efficient Fattening Technology for Fattening Beef Cattle--Luxi Yellow Cattle, Simmental Cattle, Charolais Cattle
First, focus on the birth weight of hybrid yaks. One of the key factors in increasing the birth weight of calves is the careful selection of breeds. Currently, well-known beef cattle breeds such as Hereford, Simmental, Holstein, Limousin, Pollard, and Angus are commonly used as bulls. These breeds are crossbred with local high-quality cows like Taichuan Yellow Cattle, Mongolian Yellow Cattle, Xuanhan Cattle, Ebian Flower Cattle, and Minjiang Yellow Cattle. By mating these bulls with strong, fertile local cows, breeders can produce hybrid yaks that are more adaptable, disease-resistant, and have a higher initial weight, which leads to faster growth and better feed efficiency. Second, pay close attention to the feeding of pregnant cows. Ensuring that the calf is large and healthy starts with proper nutrition for the mother. The average gestation period for cows is 285 days, during which their nutritional needs increase significantly. Not only do they need nutrients for their own health, but also for the development of the fetus. It's important to keep cows in good condition by providing them with high-quality feed. Three months before calving, the calf grows rapidly, so it's essential to provide grazing on premium pastures and supplement with improved legume forages. Combining grazing with roughage and adding 0.5 to 0.8 kg of concentrated feed daily can help meet these needs. Clean water should always be available, and during cold seasons, warm saltwater at around 20°C is recommended. Avoid feeding spoiled, moldy, or contaminated forages, and ensure drinking water is clean and safe. Third, focus on weight gain during weaning. From birth to weaning, yaks grow quickly and require a lot of nutrients. To support this growth, suckling cows should be well-fed with juicy, high-quality green forage, and legumes should be added to ensure sufficient milk production. Calves must nurse, but as they grow, their milk intake may not be enough. Around day 15, introduce fresh water mixed with salt and sugar to encourage early feeding. This helps calves learn to eat solid food gradually and ensures they get the necessary nutrients for healthy development. Fourth, focus on fattening after weaning. Hybrid yaks are typically ready for fattening at around 15 months old. In the final two months, the goal is to build up muscle and fat efficiently. A typical feeding formula includes 25-30 kg of distiller’s grains, 5-7 kg of short forage, 1 kg of bran, 3-4 kg of corn meal, 1-1.5 kg of cake, 150-170 g of urea, and 70-80 g of salt. Add 200 mg of rumen enhancer per day to the compound feed. Feeding should follow a structured routine: start with roughage, then add compound feed, and finally provide clean, warm water (between 15-25°C). Feed 3-4 times a day, and drink water 2-3 times. Keep the cowshed clean, well-ventilated, and comfortable year-round. If high-quality feed is limited, increase the proportion of leguminous forages and use salt or urea solutions to improve palatability and boost weight gain. With proper management, fast and efficient fattening can be achieved. 50cm high flood barrier, 50cm high flood boxwall, 50cm classic flood barrier Denilco Environmental technology(Suzhou)Co., Ltd. , https://www.wflood.com
