Feed cost The roughage of beef cattle includes silage corn stalk, distiller's grains, dried corn stalk, wheat stalk, peanut stalk, sweet potato stalk and rice straw. The purchase price per catty is calculated by 0.3 yuan money, and each beef cattle needs 20 jins of coarse grains every day, that is, 6 yuan money.
The concentrate required by beef cattle every day accounts for 1% of the weight of beef cattle, that is, concentrate is required for every 100 kg of body weight 1 kg. Generally, the average value is adopted, that is, each head is calculated as 8 kg concentrate according to 800 kg body weight consumption.
The formula is made of 52% corn flour, 16% bran, 25% soybean meal, 1% baking soda, 1% salt and 5% premix. The market price is equivalent to RMB per catty 1.4 yuan money, and 8 catty 1 1.2 yuan money. The feed fee per head is 65438+ money per day. A beef cattle needs to be cultured for 10 month, the daily feed fee 17.2 yuan, and the total feed fee for 300 days is 5 160 yuan.
The cost of supporting equipment is particle pulverizer, hay cutter and boiler. The size and model are selected according to the quantity, generally 1000 ~ 4000 yuan. Cowshed buildings and equipment are fixed assets that can be used for many years, and the cost can be diluted in the cost.
The disinfection fee is calculated at 100 yuan, and the quarantine treatment fee is calculated at 250 yuan. Water and electricity costs are about tens of yuan per cow every year, and selling cow dung can roughly offset these costs. To sum up, it is estimated that the cost of raising cattle is12,500 yuan, and the profit per cow is about 4,300 yuan.

Matters needing attention in raising cattle
First, only feed roughage, not concentrate.
The cost of raising cattle is relatively high, especially in captivity. Many novices will have a traditional concept of raising cattle. Cattle can only grow by eating grass. So the proportion of concentrate in feed is reduced, and even concentrate is not fed.
Although dairy cows can grow only by grazing, they still can't meet the demand for nutrients for their maximum growth, especially for some large beef cattle. This will lead to the slow growth of cattle, delay the slaughter, and ultimately the feeding cost will not be lower than others, and it will also increase the breeding time and affect the weight of cattle.
Second, let the cows eat freely.
Many farmers find it troublesome to feed cows frequently, so they add too much feed at a time to let cows eat freely. In fact, this is a wrong feeding method. Cattle belong to compound stomach animals, which are different from monogastric animals such as pigs and chickens. Spend enough time chewing backwards after eating.
Allowing cows to eat freely will affect their appetite, lead to diseases such as rumen food accumulation, rumen bloating, and forestomach relaxation, and cannot be fully digested and absorbed by cows after eating a lot of feed. This forms a waste of feed.
