Fattening beef cattle breeding management tips

To achieve optimal fattening results for beef cattle, it's essential to follow the "five-set," "five-see," and "five-net" principles. These guidelines help ensure proper nutrition, health, and efficient management throughout the fattening process. The "Five Set" approach includes: 1. **Timing**: Feed cows twice a day—once between 7-9 AM and again between 5-7 PM. Each feeding session should last about an hour, with at least eight hours between meals. Provide water three times daily: morning, noon, and afternoon. 2. **Quantity**: Adjust feed amounts based on body weight. For every 100 kg of live weight, offer 1 to 1.5 kg of concentrate. Avoid making random changes to the feed quantity, as this can affect growth and digestion. 3. **Assigned Personnel**: Assign specific individuals to manage each cow’s feeding and daily care. This helps monitor individual intake, detect early signs of illness, and reduce stress in the animals. 4. **Brushing Schedule**: Brush each cow once in the morning and once in the afternoon. This promotes blood circulation, improves appetite, and keeps the cow calm and easy to handle. Always brush from front to back. 5. **Regular Weighing**: Weigh cattle upon entering the fattening area and group them by size for better feeding and management. Weigh them regularly during the fattening period, ideally in the morning on an empty stomach to avoid inaccuracies caused by recent food intake. The "Five See" principle involves observing key behaviors and conditions: 1. **Eating Habits**: Monitor how much and how quickly the cow eats. 2. **Drinking Behavior**: Ensure they have access to clean, fresh water at all times. 3. **Excreta Observation**: Check the consistency and frequency of manure to assess digestive health. 4. **Rumination**: Observe if the cow is chewing cud regularly, which indicates good digestion. 5. **Mental State**: Watch for signs of restlessness, lethargy, or unusual behavior that may signal health issues. The "Five Net" concept focuses on maintaining cleanliness and safety: 1. **Feed Quality**: Ensure forage and feed are free from contaminants like sand, mud, metal, or plastic. Avoid moldy or spoiled feed, and eliminate any toxic substances. 2. **Feeding Troughs**: Clean troughs after each feeding to prevent leftover feed from spoiling and causing health problems. 3. **Water Hygiene**: Keep drinking water clean and safe, avoiding contamination from harmful substances. 4. **Body Care**: Regularly brush the cow’s body to maintain hygiene and prevent external parasites like lice or ticks. 5. **Housing Conditions**: Keep the barn clean, dry, and well-ventilated. Remove waste frequently and ensure the bedding is comfortable and dry. The structure should be weatherproof, providing shelter from rain, sun, cold, and heat. Additionally, always inspect and maintain equipment such as fences, halters, and gates. Replace damaged items promptly to ensure the safety and comfort of the cattle. The barn doesn’t need to be expensive, but it must be functional and suitable for the climate. Finally, consider slaughtering when the cattle reach a weight of over 500 kg, ensuring optimal meat quality and profitability.
