Angus beef cattle calf breeding management method

Abstract

The invention provides an Angus beef cattle calf breeding management method. The Angus beef cattle calf breeding management method includes the following steps: (1) feeding calves with colostrums within 2 hours after the calves was born, allowing the calves to do free movement with cows for half an hour 7 d-10 d after the calves was born; and gradually prolonging the movement time; (2) starting to train the calves to eat fodder when the calves are 10-20 day-old; (3) additionally feeding the calves with carrot chippings on the basis of concentrated fodder when the calves are 20-day-old; (4) arranging hay in a shed when the calves are 30 day-old, attracting the calves to eat the hay, and feeding the calves with the concentrated fodder; (5) feeding the calves with the concentrated fodder and coarse fodder with feeding the calves with breast milk when the calves are 2-3 month-old; (6) adding an additive to a daily ration; and (7) establishing a good breeding management environment, keeping a pasture clean, regularly performing disinfection, preventing infectious diseases, and timely treating the calves once calves are ill. The fodder formula and the breeding management method are optimized, the growth demand of the calves can be met, the rumen acidosis morbidity of the calves is decreased to less than 15%.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an Angus beef calf feeding and management method. Background technique [0002] Rumen acidosis refers to a metabolic disease caused by beef cattle eating excessive carbohydrate feed. The use of full concentrate or high-concentrate combined diets for beef cattle fattening increases the risk of rumen acidosis and other nutritional and metabolic diseases. Acute rumen acidosis can not only cause obvious clinical symptoms, but can even lead to death. Subacute rumen acidosis. Although the sick cow has no obvious clinical manifestations, it can reduce the feed intake, the growth rate, and the feed conversion rate. It can significantly increase the occurrence of true gastric ulcers, rumenitis, immunosuppression, and hoofs in fattening cattle Risk of diseases such as inflammation and liver abscess. [0003] The impact of subclinical rumen acidosis on cattle is delayed, and it takes a while to show up, so prevention is more important than tr...

Problems solved by technology

Subacute rumen acidosis, although sick cattle have no obvious clinical manifestations, can reduce feed intake, growth rate, and feed conversion rate, and can significantly increase the occurrence of abomasum ulcers, rumenitis, immunosuppression, and hoof leaf damage in fattening cattle. Inflammation and risk of diseases such as liver abscess
