Frame cattle refer to lean cattle whose growth and development are inhibited under extensive feeding conditions, in which the bones of cattle grow faster, while the muscles grow relatively slowly. After the skeleton is basically close to that of an adult cow, the body has less muscle and fat. Using the characteristics of compensatory growth of beef cattle, once the feeding conditions are improved, these cattle can gain weight quickly, thus compensating the inhibited growth and development process. The rapid fattening of frame cattle has the characteristics of low risk, short cycle, quick effect, low cost, fast feed return and high benefit.
Frame cattle are characterized by large body, flat shoulders, deep chest, straight and wide back, round abdomen, bent ribs and hip breadth, large head, large nostrils, deep corners of the mouth, wide and moist nose, developed mandible, large eyes, bright capillaries, soft and relaxed skin and elasticity. You can pinch the rubber band like a pull with your thumb and forefinger and insert it with your fingers.
The price of frame cattle is generally about pregnant frame cattle 15000, and non-pregnant frame cattle is about 7000-8000. The improved price of Simmental cattle and Luxi cattle is about 4000 (calf), and the pure breed is about 7000.
Frame cattle 400~600 kg 5700/ head
600~800 kg of cattle, 5000 heads/head.
Cattle under 200 kg 2 100/ head
200~300 kg, 4,200 cattle/head.
How many months will the cattle be released? If cattle weighing 6-700 kg are bred, they can be released in 4-5 months.
Fast fattening of frame cattle, also known as late concentrated fattening, means that calves are fattened for 3-4 months after weaning, raised to a weight of more than 300 kg at the age of 2-3 under extensive feeding conditions, and slaughtered after making full use of the compensatory growth ability of cattle to achieve ideal weight and fat. This fattening method has the advantages of low cost, low concentrate consumption, high economic benefit and wide application range. But we should pay attention to the following links:
1. Preparation before buying cattle: 1 One week before buying cattle, the manure in the barn should be cleaned, washed with water, sprayed with 2% caustic soda solution to disinfect the ground and walls of the barn, disinfected with 0. 1% potassium permanganate solution, and washed with clear water again.
Second, the purchase of cattle: the quality of cattle directly determines the effect and benefit of fattening. We should choose the offspring of excellent breeds crossed with local yellow cattle, which are over 2 years old, healthy and disease-free cattle with large body, soft skin, moderate fat, moist nose, big eyes, flexible ears, bright coat color, normal rumination, strong appetite and weight above 300 kg.
Third, the feeding management of cattle: feeding should be regular and quantitative, first coarse and then fine, and less diligent. Cattle that have just entered the house should be mainly hay in the first week, properly matched with silage, and less or no concentrate should be given. At the beginning of fattening, feed twice a day and drink water three times; Feed it 3 ~ 4 times a day, and drink it 4 times a day in the later period. Brush it once every morning and evening. Observe feces frequently. If the feces are dull, it means that there are few concentrates. If the feces are thin or granular, there are too many concentrates or indigestion.
Profit of raising cattle: According to the age and weight of your calf, it takes 4-5 months to raise cattle, the cost is about 5,000 yuan, and the profit is about 2,000 yuan. Good beef varieties are: Simmental cattle and Luxi yellow cattle, both of which are good varieties and grow fast.
Recently, I came to the farm of Pu Wei, a large beef cattle breeder in six groups in Longpan Village, Maling Town, xuyong county, Sichuan Province. More than 20 Simmental cattle were immersed in yellow bamboo grass. Pu Weiyang's beef cattle are all frame cattle, ranging in size from 1000 kg to medium 8900 kg to small 6700 kg. "The income from raising cattle is different. In just a few months, each cow brought me a net income of more than 6000 yuan. In particular, the use of running water feeding not only reduces the pressure on stocks, but also responds to the ups and downs of the beef cattle market. " Pu Weixin said happily.
