Grass is the best food for cattle. Although there are many kinds of food, cows actually prefer sweeter food, so many seedlings can be used as a feed for cows. The most common is ryegrass, which can be harvested in turn all year round like leek.
protein
Beans are indispensable, and protein in beans can increase the chewiness of beef. Soybean cake has the highest nutritional value in all kinds of cattle feed, and its crude protein content is higher than any kind of cake feed, and its lysine content is 2.5%-3%, which is 10 times higher than that of corn. It is the best feed for cattle to supplement protein.
crude fibre
All kinds of crude fiber foods are not necessary. The crude fiber feed for cattle usually consists of hay and straw. Alfalfa is an important source of crude fiber in feed. Alfalfa has developed root system and neck. When it grows up, it will flourish. Many cows like to eat it because of its rich taste and excellent grass quality. It can be dried in autumn and summer and is suitable for storage in winter.
mineral
Some natural minerals are also indispensable. The feed for cattle is mainly plant straw, but the content of inorganic salts in plants is relatively low, which can not meet the needs of beef cattle. At this time, additional minerals must be added to achieve the balance of inorganic salts in feed. In the feed of beef cattle, the mineral elements that should be supplemented most are sodium, chlorine, calcium and phosphorus. Generally, all kinds of mineral elements, including salt, are fully mixed together, and then pressed into a block product with a certain strength by high pressure, so that cattle can replenish minerals by licking, which is convenient and safe to apply.
The feed distribution of cattle should be diversified, including some grass, green storage feed and some concentrated feed. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the preservation of feed, and some feed must be banned from feeding cattle when it is moldy due to improper preservation.
