Cattle breeding technology and cattle breeding methods

As an important livestock for humans, cattle not only provide abundant meat and dairy products , but also play a key role in agricultural labor. Therefore, the adoption of scientific breeding techniques and feeding methods is of great significance to improving cattle production efficiency, ensuring their health and increasing breeding profits. Let’s learn about cattle breeding techniques and methods.

1. Feeding technology

Regular feeding schedule: Establishing a regular feeding schedule helps the cattle’s digestive system adapt and avoids digestive problems.

Feeding order: Follow the principle of "rough feed first, then fine feed", first provide roughage such as hay and straw, and then supplement with fine feed such as corn and soybean meal.

Feed diversification: Ensure the diversity of feed sources and rationally combine different types of feed to meet the nutritional needs of cattle at different growth stages.

Drinking water management: Ensure that cattle have sufficient clean drinking water. The water source should be clean and the amount of drinking water should be sufficient.

2. Feeding and Management

Group breeding: Cows are grouped according to their age, gender, physical condition, etc. to achieve refined management.

Cowshed environment: Keep the cowshed dry, ventilated and clean, clean up cow dung regularly and maintain hygiene.

Proper exercise: Provide cattle with space for exercise, such as setting up exercise fields or regular grazing, to enhance the cattle's physical fitness and disease resistance.

Regular deworming: Regular deworming is carried out to ensure the healthy growth of cattle.

3. Reproduction and breeding

Selection of superior varieties: Select varieties that grow fast, have strong disease resistance and excellent meat quality, focus on variety improvement, and adapt to market demand.

Reproduction technology: Master the reproductive physiology and reproduction technology of cattle, such as estrus identification and breeding timing, to improve the success rate of reproduction.

Breeding records: Establish detailed breeding records, including breeding, calving, growth and development, etc., to provide data support for breeding work.

4. Disease prevention and control

Epidemic prevention system: Establish a complete epidemic prevention system, including vaccination, disinfection, isolation, etc., to prevent the occurrence of epidemics.

Veterinary health: Strengthen veterinary health management, improve the hygiene awareness of breeding personnel, and ensure timely prevention and control of epidemic diseases.

Epidemic handling: When an epidemic is discovered, immediately isolate, treat, disinfect, prevent the spread, and report to the relevant departments.

The above is an introduction to the key points of cattle breeding techniques and methods. Cattle farmers should also pay attention to the proper disposal of animal manure and sewage to save resources.
