The best choice of Charolais cattle is the first generation of cross between Charolais cattle and local yellow cattle. The first generation of hybrid cattle has fast weight gain, excellent meat quality and high economic benefits. At the same time, it is necessary to strictly control the age of fattening cattle, and choose calves with a weight of more than 200 kg and a fattening age of 18~24 months. Summer hybrid cattle must be fattened to 24 months old and weigh more than 500 kilograms. Pay special attention to the adaptive feeding of cattle before fattening.

Breeding method of Charolais cattle

Cattle just bought are not suitable for fattening immediately, so they should be raised in groups according to their size. Only feed the grass without feeding it within one week after purchase, drink plenty of water, add some salt to the water appropriately, regulate the stomach and stimulate appetite. In the second week, the feed was gradually concentrated, reaching 2 kg per head every day, which was close to fattening conditions.

Scientific feeding. Concentrated feed for summer hybrid cattle includes corn, bran, sorghum and oil cake. Roughage includes crop straws commonly used to feed cattle, such as corn straw, wheat straw, rice straw, forage grass, etc. The feeding arrangement is carried out in two stages:

It is an intensive feeding stage, which lasts for 8 months. When the body weight is 250~300 kg, the concentrate ratio in the diet is 55%, and the crude protein content is 1 1%. Each cow eats 6.2 kilograms of dry matter every day, and the feeding period is 55 days, and the daily gain is about 700 grams. When the body weight is 350~400 kg, the concentrate ratio in the diet is 75%, and the crude protein content is 10.8%. Each cow eats 7.6 kilograms of dry matter every day, and the feeding period is 45 days, and the daily gain is 1. 1 kg.
