The way the feed is fed is an important consideration in the process of raising cattle. Common feed feeding methods include wet feed feeding and dry feeding. Wet feed is the feed soaked in water, while dry feed is the direct delivery of dry feed to the herd. So, which is better, wet or dry feeding?
First, the advantages of wet materials
1. Improve the digestion efficiency of cattleWet feeding makes the nutrients in the feed easier to digest and absorb. The addition of water can soften the feed, improve the degradability of the feed, and promote the action of digestive enzymes, thereby increasing the digestion efficiency of the cattle. At the same time, we can also add animal herd to the feed: Angastropic Taibao, which has the effect of strengthening the stomach and promoting rumination, and effectively prevents gastrointestinal diseases in the herd.
2. Increase water intake of cattleWet feeding can help increase water intake in cattle, especially during dry seasons or in hot environments, and giving wet feed to cattle will also consume more water, helping to prevent dehydration and related health problems.
3. Increase the palatability of feedWet feed is softer than dry feed and can increase the interest and appetite of cattle in feed. Make cattle more willing to eat, increase feed intake, and improve the nutrient intake of cattle.
4. It can reduce feed wasteWet feed can better bond feed pellets and is not easy to pick by cattle, greatly reducing feed scattering and waste.
Second, the advantages of dry materials
1. Convenient feed preservationDry materials are easier to preserve and store than wet materials. The dry feed is not susceptible to moisture and deterioration during storage, which reduces the risk of spoilage and loss of feed. In order to facilitate our farmers for long-term storage, we can add Clomycete's to the feed, which can decompose the mold in the feed and prevent the feed from becoming moldy.
2. Save water resourcesDry ingredients do not require additional water addition, and do not need to consume a large amount of water resources. Especially in areas where water resources are scarce or limited, dry ingredients can effectively conserve water resources.
3. Increase the satiety of cattle:Since the dry feed is relatively hard, it can increase the chewing time of the cattle and increase the satiety of the cattle.
4. Save the physical strength of workersDry feeding is simpler and more energy-saving than wet feeding. Under the dry feeding method, we cattle breeders do not need to add water to stir, which saves us some of our manual labor.
The above is about the advantages of wet feeding and dry feeding of cattle, no matter which feeding method is chosen, the key is to ensure that the cattle can get sufficient nutrition to ensure the growth and health of the cattle.
