What is the Reference Standard for the Monthly Weight Gain of Fattening Cattle at Different Weight Stages in Actual Production?

Fattening cattle are generally 250-700 kgs above stage

The 1^st stage：Transition period of 1 month（250-270 kgs）

The 2^nd stage：Skeleton growth stage 3.5 months（270-400 kgs）

The 3^rd stage：Fattening period 4 months（400-600 kgs）

The 4^th stage：Late fattening period 2 months（>600-700 kgs sold）

The 1^st Stage
The first phase was a transition period, during which data on weight gain varied widely. 0-60kg may occur, and there may be weight loss, which is mainly affected by many factors such as the source of the herd, the degree of stress, and the stress transition method.

The 2^nd Stage
The second phase is not suitable for direct high concentrate fattening, this phase is given priority to with skeletal growth, so the average daily gain control at about 1.3 kg.

The 3^rd Stage
The third stage belongs to the early stage of fattening, and the average daily gain can achieve 1.6kg.

The 4^th Stage
The fourth stage belongs to the late stage of fattening, with an average daily gain of 1.6-1.8kg. Short-term weight loss and weight gain are normal. Short-term weight gain does not represent the weight gain of the entire fattening period. Future improvements in genetic potential and feeding conditions, as well as greater attention to animal welfare, are likely to result in higher weight gain potential.

Ensure the survival of fry is coming to a head! Disinfection prevention should be planed!

Rising fish prices coexist with the difficulty of reproducing fry. Improving the survival rate of fry has become the key to improving pond efficiency, and reasonable disinfection and prevention planning is an important means to ensure the survival rate of fry.

Discussing the Importance of Deworming Beef Cattle

Mar .29.2024

Because beef cattle eat roughage, pasture, etc. and often come into contact with the ground, they are easily infected with various nematodes in the digestive tract, and are also susceptible to parasites such as lice, mites, ticks, and fly maggots outside the body. After a cow's body is mildly to moderately infected with parasites, the feed conversion rate is affected, mainly due to a decrease in appetite, a decrease in absorbed protein and energy utilization, and a decrease in the quality and weight gain of ketone bodies, which in turn affects the efficiency of beef cattle breeding. Economic benefits. For this reason, beef cattle must be dewormed during the pre-feeding period before fattening.

In Broiler Chicken Breeding,If This Disease Cannot Be Prevented,Sporadic Deaths Will Continue Until They Are Out!

With the improvement of the breeding model and the improvement of feeding and management technology, it seems that the frequency of bursitis has decreased in recent years, resulting in people not paying much attention to preventing and controlling this disease during breeding and production. In fact, the incidence of bursitis in chickens has always been high.
