February** dynamic incentive plan Before that, many friends asked a question in private messages, the local conditions are limited, there are no very good hay resources, or hay ** is expensive, do not feed hay, only feed silage and concentrate?
I'm going to tell you the answer today, first look at **.
Restrained gait, deformed hoof clips, dare not touch the ground, typical hoof symptoms! Due to the limited availability of hay or the high price point, farmers here choose not to feed hay, but only silage and concentrate.
The owner of the cattle farm just asked over and over again if there was a good product that could replace hay to solve the problem of acidosis in his own cattle farm.
In order to pursue the limit of daily weight gain, beef cattle are slowly being raised as "pigs", which is against the physiology of ruminants! High concentrate is slowly destroying the health of the herd, and raising cattle as pigs is against science and against cow nature!
Dahua over the rumen, nutrition is not wasted, ruminant core nutrition technology optimization expert. Does adding soda to 5% or even 10% really solve the problem of acidosis?
Putting aside the question of the authenticity of soda, the problem of ox acidosis is not as simple as we understand, hoping that the buffer baking soda will only kill itself, and in the state of acidosis, the daily weight gain of cattle is extremely limited, and even negative growth.
As a rumen buffer, soda can only neutralize a limited number of inorganic acids, and friends who understand the metabolism of beef cattle sugar know that concentrate is fermented in the rumen to produce more organic acids, not to mention histamine and endotoxin caused by laminitis.
Hay grass, taking wheat straw as an example, is not of much value from a nutritional point of view, but it is indispensable in a physiological sense.
The amount of saliva secreted by a cow in a day is amazing, and the minimum is 100L, which is converted into Suda, and 1 kilogram of saliva contains 07% "soda", that is, 7 grams of "soda".
Alkaline saliva can well neutralize the acidic substances produced by the fermentation of the rumen, and when the amount of hay is up to standard, soda can be completely unadded.
Don't be afraid that hay is taking up too much dry matter feed intake, and remember that cattle can only have an ideal level of daily weight gain if they are healthy.
This is suitable for beef cattle during the production team, when the feed is scarce, cattle can rarely eat concentrate feed, and the grass can be shortened to improve the digestion and utilization rate of forage.
In the modern breeding mode, beef cattle are fed with concentrate to quickly fatten, and long hay can stimulate the salivary glands to secrete more saliva (the salivary glands of cattle are very developed) to achieve the purpose of neutralizing gastric acid.
Therefore, in terms of cost performance and practical results, hay is indispensable, and one thing should always be remembered: cattle can only perform at their maximum performance when they are truly healthy. Beef cattle farming beef cattle.
