The main points of beef cattle fattening in spring
With the arrival of spring, the weather begins to warm up. This is the fastest growing season for beef cattle of the year. In order to ensure a faster growth rate of beef cattle, breeders should do the following work:


Deworming


Many cattle farmers often use abamectin, ivermectin and other drugs for deworming beef cattle, but the deworming effect is not ideal because the content of the deworming drugs purchased does not meet the prescribed standards. The author recommends phenbendazole to everyone. Adding 500 grams of phenbendazole to each ton of feed and feeding it according to the normal feeding method has a good repellent effect on the parasites in and outside the beef cattle.


stomachic


Due to improper feeding methods or unclean feed, it is easy to cause debris in the rumen and stomach of beef cattle, resulting in poor appetite and indigestion. At this time, it is advisable to take 1% baking soda on an empty stomach, and after the meat steak is out of debris (the black dung is the criterion for judging), then start to feed the fattening feed. After strengthening the stomach, the cow is in good spirits and has a strong appetite.


Reasonable preparation of feed


For cattle to grow fast, they must obtain sufficient vitamins, trace elements, minerals, energy and protein from feed. Traditional feed production can no longer meet the needs of beef cattle's rapid growth, and it is necessary to supplement beef cattle with concentrated feed. It is recommended that the concentrated feed is prepared according to the following ratio: corn 48%, soybean meal 30%, skin 17%, beef cattle premix 5%. The feeding amount of concentrated feed is 1.5-2 kg per 100 kg of beef cattle body weight. For coarse feed, silage corn, ammoniated straw, peanut seedlings, sweet potato seedlings, etc. are best used.


Pay attention to daily management


Keep the cattle barn clean, the cow body clean, and the environment quiet. The feeding time should not be too long. It is recommended to feed twice a day, at 6-8 o'clock in the morning and 4-6 o'clock in the afternoon. Keep the trough clean when not feeding, drink water once every afternoon after feeding. The feeding method of concentrated feed is to mix into moist coarse feed and feed it.
