TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cattle breeding, and particularly relates to a beef cattle breeding method in a high-temperature environment in summer. BACKGROUND
[0002] The southern region of China is of a hot and humid climate type, and the air temperature is high and the relative humidity is large in summer. The highest temperature in July can reach 35-38 DEG C, and the relative humidity in the hottest month can be as high as 80-90%. This continuous hot and humid weather can cause the cattle to have difficulty in heat dissipation, and can easily cause serious heat stress, so that the breathing frequency of the cattle is significantly accelerated, the physical energy is consumed fast, and the feed intake is greatly reduced, thereby causing growth retardation, reduction of daily weight gain, and poor feed conversion, and seriously affecting the production performance and breeding benefit of the beef cattle. Meanwhile, the high temperature and high humidity also provide a breeding ground for pathogenic microorganisms, parasites and mosquitoes and flies, and increase the risk of occurrence of diseases such as hoof disease, cattle parasitic eye disease and digestive system disease; in addition, the humid and hot environment can also cause the concentration of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in the cowshed to increase, and the air quality to deteriorate, further intensifying the stress reaction of the cattle and reducing the immunity. Therefore, how to relieve the heat stress of the cattle and realize the efficient breeding of the beef cattle in the high-temperature environment in summer is a problem to be solved urgently.
[0003] The main methods currently used to alleviate heat stress and solve a series of problems caused by heat stress during beef cattle breeding in a high-temperature environment are as follows: (1) adding additives or traditional Chinese medicines that can alleviate heat stress in the diet, such as the patent CN 118436029 A discloses a feed for relieving heat stress of beef cattle, which adds N-acetyl-L-tryptophan, rumen-spared gamma-aminobutyric acid and chromium propionate in the feed, which can effectively relieve heat stress; the patent CN 119791060 A discloses a method for efficient fattening of beef cattle in summer and autumn in a southern captive mode, which adds fermented material of cooling tea residue and compound traditional Chinese medicine residue in the feed to relieve heat stress; the applicant also added additives in the feed to relieve heat stress in the early stage of research, such as the patent CN 116034940 B discloses a method for rapid fattening of beef cattle in a southern high-humidity and hot area, which adds selenium ore powder, molybdenum ore powder, etc. However, the applicant found that the additives had certain effects, but the dosage was not accurate, or the use time was too long, which would affect the meat quality, and therefore further improvement was needed. (2) Using fans and water mist spraying to cool the material of the cattle, which has the most direct cooling effect, but due to high air humidity, the water mist spraying evaporates slowly, and the heat is removed slowly, so the fan needs to be assisted to achieve good cooling effect, but the use of the fan will increase the workload and cost. (3) Laying fermented bed litter in the cowshed for heat insulation and dehumidification, which has good effect, but the current fermented bed litter is prone to mold in a high-temperature environment, which greatly reduces its use effect, and even has negative effects. In addition, the current beef cattle breeding is mainly extensive feeding, which has poor palatability and low digestibility, and the high-temperature environment makes the cattle gain weight slowly.
[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a method for breeding beef cattle in a high-temperature environment in summer. SUMMARY

The composite microbial inoculant comprises 2-3 parts of Bacillus subtilis, 2-3.5 parts of lactic acid bacteria, 1-1.5 parts of actinomycetes and 3-4.5 parts of yeast. Further, the treated cassava dry sheet powder is prepared by the following method: the cassava dry sheet powder is placed in a distillation tank, and water vapor at 100-110℃ is introduced for heat treatment for 30-60 min, and then naturally cooled, so that the moisture content of the cassava dry sheet powder is increased from 10-15% to 20-25%, thereby obtaining the treated cassava dry sheet powder.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: 1. The heat-insulating and dehumidifying fermentation bed padding of the present application is provided with a bottom padding, a middle padding and a surface padding. The bottom padding is modified rice husk, which has the function of air-permeable and water-draining layer, and can ensure the bottom ventilation and prevent the moisture from returning upward. The rice husk is slightly carbonized (after being heated at 250-350 DEG C for 30-50 min) to increase the porosity, and then subjected to short-term fermentation by Bacillus subtilis to enhance the toughness, so that the padding is not easily crushed by the cattle and can maintain the loftiness for a long time, so that the padding can better insulate heat, ventilate, absorb moisture and prevent mildew. The middle padding is a mixture of modified rice husk, perlite, fermentation substrate and salt. The perlite has the function of heat insulation, the fermentation substrate can quickly absorb and decompose the excrement to prevent the odor from intensifying the heat stress of the cattle, the fermentation substrate also has the function of heat insulation to block the heat conduction from the ground to the upper layer, and the salt can provide the mineral ions required for the metabolism of the microorganisms in the middle padding and also inhibit the growth of part of the mildew to regulate the micro-ecological environment of the padding. Under the functions of moisture absorption, heat insulation and excrement decomposition of the bottom padding and the middle padding, the surface padding can keep dry and comfortable for a long time, which is beneficial for the cattle to lie down. Therefore, the heat-insulating and dehumidifying fermentation bed padding of the present application can greatly relieve the heat stress of the cattle.

The compound feed of the present application is obtained by co-fermentation of treated cassava dry sheet powder, sugarcane molasses fermentation liquor, paper mulberry leaves and elephant grass, has high protein content, and suitable protein and fiber ratio, can meet the growth needs of cattle even under the condition of high consumption of cattle in high temperature environment, makes cattle gain weight fast, and the crude protein and crude fiber in the compound feed are all converted into easily digestible and absorbable protein and fiber, the treated cassava dry sheet powder is more easily digested and absorbed after being treated with hot steam before use, and in addition to containing a large amount of probiotic flora, the sugarcane molasses fermentation liquor contains a large amount of prebiotics - fructo-oligosaccharides, which can reduce the foul odor of cattle excrement, thereby relieving heat stress, in addition, the compound feed also contains a large amount of vitamins and active small peptides and other antioxidant components after fermentation, which can relieve heat stress to a certain extent, make cattle consume less energy, have high appetite and gain weight fast.
[0014] 3. The alkyl polyglucoside in the spraying liquid of the present application can reduce the surface tension of water, make the spraying liquid quickly cover the body surface of cattle, increase the evaporation area, reduce the formation of water droplets, and accelerate evaporation without the aid of a fan in a high temperature and high humidity environment, thereby achieving rapid cooling; the glycerol in the spraying liquid can absorb water from the air after the water in the spraying liquid is quickly evaporated and cooled, so that the skin has a cool feeling, and the spraying frequency can also be reduced; the potassium chloride and sodium chloride in the spraying liquid can be absorbed by the cattle in small amounts through the epidermis, helping to maintain fluid balance and prevent electrolyte loss in high temperature. Therefore, the spraying liquid of the present application has better cooling effect than water. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
