RU2005357C1 - Method for production of beef on small farm - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: method involves full-suckling management of calves till they are 1.5 months of age, then suckling is combined with feeding for steers till they are 6 month and for heifers till they are 8 months of age. In the raising period steers have loose housing, and in the fattening period they are kept with automatic confinement in a building with controllable microclimate. EFFECT: higher weight gain.

Description

 The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to beef cattle, and can be used for growing young cattle for breeding and meat.

 A known method of raising calves in the prophylactic period, including growing calves in the dairy period (see ed. St. N 1491425, class A 01 K 67/02, 1987) and further growing and fattening the young on the feeding point (US patent N 4753194, C. A 01 K 1/00, 1986).

 The disadvantage of these methods is that they cover a short life span of animals.

 The closest solution in terms of its technological essence is a method of keeping animals and beef production, which includes phased rearing of young cattle with an extended pasture period [1].

 The disadvantage of this method is that it is acceptable for large industrial farms (with a livestock of beef cattle more than 7 thousand heads, including 3,5 thousand cows).

 The purpose of the invention is to increase the safety of calves, the energy of their growth and fertilization of cows.

 The goal is achieved in that the calves up to 1.5 months of age are kept at a full suction, then from 1.5 to 6 months of calves and up to 8 months of calves are kept at a regular suction, and during the growing of calves they are kept loose in a lightweight type equipped room boxes with deep litter, linear feeders, animals provide free access to the walking and feed yard, equipped with self-feeders for roughage, feeders for other feeds and automatic drinkers with electric water heating, and in the final feeding of gobies it contains and with an adjustable microclimate on an automatic leash.

 Distinctive features of the proposed solutions in science and technology are not found.

 This method is as follows.

 In the period of 1.5 months after birth, calves are kept under free suction matter. This technique provides natural massage of the udder, the intensive development of the mammary glands in cows and prevents their mastitis.

 From 1.5 to 6 months (bulls) and up to 8 months (heifers) are grown on regimen suction. This measure helps to maintain the fatness of cows, to strengthen their sexual dominance over dairy, active manifestation of hunting, effective fertilization and better growth of calves. After weaning, young animals are kept loose in light-type rooms with free access to the aft yard. The premises are equipped with deep litter boxes and linear feeders. Self-feeding troughs and automatic drinking bowls with electric water heating are installed in the walking yard.

 The final fattening of the calves is carried out indoors with an adjustable microclimate on an automatic leash. They are sold for meat at the age of 15-16 months after reaching a live weight of 460-480 kg.

 EXAMPLE 1. At the Petrogradsky state farm in the Novosibirsk Region, from the crossbreeds in the first month after weaning from mothers, an increase of 1156 g was obtained, and from heifers who were with the mothers at the pasture at that time, 1080 g each. 8 months old, the average live weight of 32 bulls was 269.5 kg, and heifers 253.0 kg.

 PRI me R 2. At the Chiksky state farm of the Novosibirsk region, calves containing a lightweight type in the winter months gave an average daily gain of 495-559 g, heifers - 474-587 g, in the spring, 420-500 and 424, respectively -577 g.

 The use of this technology guarantees the safety of young animals at least 98%, the growth rate at the age of 1 g 800-1000 and older than 1100-1200 g, or 25-30% more than traditional and will reduce feed consumption for growth by 5-8% . Per head, the additional production of beef in live weight is 91 kg per year. (56) 1.
