Planting grass and raising cattle has always been the most frequently asked question by cattle friends. Today, Bian Xiao sorted out some questions about planting grass and raising cattle!
First, several common problems about planting grass and raising cattle
1. How much grass can an acre of land produce, enough to raise several cows?
Pennisetum, sweet weevil, Mexican corn, etc. Under high yield conditions, the yield per mu can reach 10~ 15 tons of fresh grass. The fresh grass yield of alfalfa and ryegrass per mu is only 2~5 tons.
For a cow weighing 800 kg, the dry matter of roughage accounts for about 2~2.5% of the cow's weight, which means that Iraq eats 15~20 kg of hay every day. According to the moisture content of fresh grass, a Niu Yi should eat at least 30~40 kilograms of fresh grass. A year needs fresh grass 10950~ 14600 Jin, that is, 5.4~7.3 tons of fresh grass.

2. Is it ok to let cows eat freely after planting grass?
Most forage varieties will be greatly reduced after being trampled by cattle. Planting grass and raising cattle are usually given to cattle after harvest. In the case of a large area of barren hills or grasslands, grass can be planted for cattle to eat freely.
3. Are all places suitable for planting grass and raising cattle?
Planting grass and raising cattle must meet two conditions: one is to have cheap land, and the other is to have suitable lighting and temperature conditions.
At present, there are more cattle friends in the south who grow grass and raise cattle, but fewer in the north. In most agricultural areas in the north, the land rent is high, so it is not as cost-effective as growing grain and eating straw to raise cattle. Secondly, the annual temperature in the north is lower than that in the south, and the yield of grass is far less than that in the south.
For cattle friends who have no conditions to grow grass in the north, they should also plant some grass appropriately. It can be used to adjust feed at high temperature in summer, and can also be used to adjust feed for cows and calves.
Second, the five main points of success in planting grass and raising cattle!
How can we make grass and cattle grow smoothly? Today, Bian Xiao introduces you to five key points of successfully planting grass and raising cattle.
1, land clearing
Cheap land is the first element of planting grass and raising cattle, while fertile land is not cost-effective. Taking 800 kg of wheat and 0/000 kg of corn per mu as an example, 800 ~/0/000 kg of wheat straw and 3000 ~ 5000 kg of fresh corn straw can be harvested at the same time, with a total value of more than 2000 yuan. However, with proper planting management, the yield per mu is only 20,000-30,000 Jin, and the total value is only 1.000 ~ 1.500 yuan.
2. Cao Zhongguan
(1) Select the forage with high yield. There are many kinds of grass. Because cattle need a lot of roughage, we should choose high-yield grasses, such as Pennisetum, Sweet Elephant Grass, Giant Mushroom Grass, Mexican Corn Grass, Sudan Grass, Gaodan Grass and so on. In order to make the nutrition of beef cattle more balanced, you can choose 1~2 kinds of high-yield forage, and then plant all other kinds of forage, such as high-protein alfalfa!
(2) Grass seed quality. There are many businesses selling grass seeds online. You can go to the local seed station to buy them, or buy grass seeds with stable yield that Niu You is planting.
(3) Grass seed planting. Planting grass is not easy. Different grasses have different planting time and different planting requirements. Before planting, everyone must check online, such as the planting time and requirements of pasture.
3. Planting gap
Planting grass is simple, but it is not easy to make grass yield high. In order to obtain higher forage yield, planting management is not simpler than planting wheat, corn and other food crops. Water and fertilizer must be appropriate, especially water must keep up. The same pasture, the same field, the water can not keep up with the output may be reduced by more than half.
4. After harvesting
Harvesting is a heavy task in planting grass and raising cattle. Harvesting is mostly done manually or with a portable mower. In places where vehicles are suitable for traffic, you can also drive to pull weeds. In places where vehicles are not suitable for traffic, you can only use people's backs. As long as it is not a plain grassland, you can't use large harvesting machinery. It is not very cost-effective to buy large-scale harvesting machinery when 30 to 50 cows are planted and bred in the plain.
We must buy it in time and harvest it when the feed yield and nutritional value are maximized. Excessive harvesting and long-term non-harvesting will affect forage yield and nutritional value.
5, away from food
Besides containing more trace elements, fresh grass has no higher nutritional value than straw feed, and can only be used as coarse feed. When feeding, it needs to be fed with concentrated feed. High quality beef cattle can add more concentrated feed, and local cattle can add less concentrated feed. It is not good to feed grass without refined feed.
When the grass is too wet, it must be properly dried before feeding. Feeding a lot of grass with high water content is very easy to cause diarrhea in cattle. At the same time, it is best to mow the grass and feed it now to avoid cattle diarrhea caused by long-term stacking and deterioration of grass. For the surplus forage grass, if it can't be fed in time, it can be preserved for a long time by drying in the sun, silage and other methods.
