When the yak starts feeding is most suitable

Cattle feeding too early or too late is unfavorable for its growth and health. So when is the best time to start feeding fodder? KvA China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Practice has proved that it is most suitable for yak to feed forage at 3 weeks of age. Because the yak is born at the beginning (that is, within 3 weeks of age), its rumen, net stomach, and stomach are small, do not have the ability to digest grass, no microbes and ciliates exist, can only rely on milk to enter the stomach For absorption and utilization. If you feed the forage at this time, it will increase the burden on the rumen, net stomach, and stomach of the yak, causing disease. If the feed is started too late, the gastrointestinal tract will not be exercised, and the rumen, net stomach, and valvular growth will be slow, and its volume will be too small, which will affect growth and health. After 3 weeks of age, the rumen, net stomach, and valvular stomach rapidly increase, and due to contact with a small amount of food and drinking water, the microorganisms enter the anterior stomach (rumen, retort, stomach and stomach) with the oral cavity. At this time, the yak also There is a ruminant. At this time, we will start feeding fresh grass, wild vegetables, high-quality dried grass, crushed concentrate, etc., and increase the amount of feed and the amount of roughage as the age of the week increases. In this way, it avoids the disease caused by the too tender stomach of the anterior stomach, accelerates the development of the anterior stomach, promotes the reproduction and growth of microorganisms and ciliates in the rumen, and gradually strengthens the function of digesting forage and feed. After the cattle, they eat a lot of roughage, and they grow up and lay a good foundation. ( KvA China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry
