Increasing the number of calves for fattening becomes an urgent production

Introduction: with the rapid expansion of dairy herd, the number of calves increases correspondingly It's a good thing that there are many cows, but the natural reproduction law of half male and half female makes the same number of male calves, so the fate and outlet of male calves become a concern For dairy farmers, their task is to raise cows and make them produce more milk Because of its high degree of specialization, the male calves, which can neither produce milk nor be used for breeding in the future, have been completely replaced by artificial insemination They have no care or time to take care of, which is a blind spot that has not attracted people's attention at present In fact, it is a promising way to use it as beef cattle for professional fattening There is no essential difference between cow and beef cattle All kinds of cattle can use both meat and milk Beef cattle can also produce milk and milk is good to drink Cow can also produce meat and meat is delicious Through variety improvement, beef cattle can become cows; by changing the way of feeding, cows can also become beef cattle In the countries with developed dairy industry, a large part of beef production comes from cows, including fattening milk bulls and eliminating milk cows For example, in the Netherlands, the proportion is almost 100%; in Germany, the proportion is about 50%; in Australia, there are even special dairy cattle ranches The feed utilization efficiency and economic benefit of dairy cattle are higher when they produce beef, because in addition to the purchase price of male calves, dairy cattle are also good varieties, not only grow fast and produce more meat, but also have delicious meat quality and unique flavor Let's start with an account The weight of the first 40 kg male calves can reach 250 kg at the age of 6 months If it is sold to beef cattle fattening farm, the current price of beef cattle is 9 yuan per kilogram, the value is 2250 yuan, minus the feeding cost, the profit can reach 1000 yuan; if it continues to fatten, the effect of weight gain and income increase will be more obvious As for the poor quality of Daigong beef that individual slaughterers and cattle sellers often complain about, it is just a pretext that they make up for the purpose of grading and price reduction The first task of fattening a dairy bull is to acquire the male calves scattered in every dairy farm and then concentrate on fattening This is a key link for the transformation of a dairy bull into a beef cow, and also a new profitable business in the current and future period In this process, as long as artificial feeding of fresh milk, raising of low-yield dairy cows, milk powder instead of milk and other methods are used to strengthen the feeding management of calves from birth to 50 days old, so as to make them pass the lactation period safely and implement early weaning, the other technologies are not complicated At present, there are more than 4 million cows on the stock nationwide, and the annual output of male calves is no less than 1 million If all of them are fattened to 500 kg and slaughtered, the output value can be increased by 4.5 billion yuan, and 200000 tons of beef can be increased, which is a great wealth In recent years, China's beef cattle resources have been relatively scarce In addition, the price of calves is relatively cheap, and the benefit of simply breeding beef cattle is very low The enthusiasm of farmers to raise cows is much lower than before, so beef cattle resources will be further tightened There is no doubt that Daigong cattle fattening provides a new way to increase the source of cattle and the supply of beef It also opens up a new way for farmers to increase their income At the same time, it also adds a new variety of beef with characteristics for consumers.
