Pay attention to these points to increase profits from raising cattle in summer
The hot summer weather can easily cause cattle to lose weight as they strive to cope with the heat. In addition, the hot and humid environment can have a negative impact on beef production, such as heat stress, reduced feed intake, and slowed weight gain. As the hot summer approaches, what are the main ways to increase beef profits?
1.Reduce the sun's UV radiation on cattle: Keep the cattle in the barn, under a cool shed, or under the shade of a tree, and ensure that the barn is ventilated and cooled. Different breeding methods should be selected according to different situations, but it should never be allowed for beef cattle to be exposed to the sun for a long time.
2.Improve ventilation and convection in the beef cattle barn: Install fans in the barn to enhance mechanical ventilation and air convection. This can take as much heat as possible from the beef cattle, which is conducive to reducing heat stress.
3.Environment beautification: Farmers can plant some vegetation in the beef cattle farm, which can not only beautify the environment, but also purify the air of the farm.
4.Feed during cool mornings and evenings: Avoid feeding during the high-temperature noon time, feed early in the morning, feed more in the evening, and keep feeding at night. The feeding time should be gradually adjusted with the temperature changes and should not suddenly change.
5.Regularly clean and hose down the barn: Remove manure, ventilate, and regularly wash the cow bed with clean water, rinse and clean the cow's body, hindquarters and other dirty areas with clean water on time to reduce heat stress. When washing the body of the cow, it should be arranged before feeding, and it can't be washed within 30 minutes after feeding. Even more, water should not suddenly be sprayed on the cow's head to prevent the blood vessels in the cow's head from suddenly contracting and causing shock. The four sides of the barn can be equipped with screens to prevent mosquitoes and flies from biting the cattle. Also, you can use a 1% fenitrothion solution to spray the barn and its surrounding environment to kill mosquitoes, flies, and other pests, to block the path of infectious diseases spread by mosquitoes.
Of course, to improve the of raising in , the most aspect is to balance . According to the different stages of cattle, different feeding can be provided, which is more conducive to the growth of beef cattle.（Zeaplant Bio Tech: Aras）
