The sexual maturity age of dairy cows is 2-2.5 years, the gestation period is 300-330 days, the first mating age is 4-5 years, and the mating period is 18 years. Spring and autumn are the peak seasons of estrus. The reproduction rate of local cattle is 67.33%, and the survival rate is 72.28%. Estrus has obvious seasonality. Buffalo is a kind of coarse livestock, with low breeding cost and stable profit space. The profit level of a cow is above 6000 yuan. Relatively speaking, the profit of cattle is much less, and the profit of one head is more than 2000 yuan. In other words, whose own economic value is greater. From this point of view, there is no difference between buffalo and yellow cattle, because their working environment (paddy field and dry field) will be different, so it is difficult to measure who creates higher economic value.

In short, each has its advantages and disadvantages. If you want to farm and deepen agriculture, buffalo is better than cattle. If you want to raise beef cattle to make money, yellow cattle are better than buffalo. It seems that old farmers have a market, and the key is to raise them quickly in order to make money. But if you choose to raise cattle or buffaloes, you should adjust measures to local conditions and see what kind of cattle you are suitable for.

At present, in some areas, some machines are used for farming or when farming is busy, and cows are rarely used. On the other hand, some remote mountainous areas still need some buffalo farming, but this is a minority. Buffalo is strong, with sparse fur, mostly gray-black, thick skin and underdeveloped sweat glands. They need to soak in water to dissipate heat, and their edibility, milk yield and roughage resistance are higher than those of yellow cattle. Buffalo uses straw as the main roughage, which is convenient to raise and low in cost, but the growth rate of buffalo is slower than that of yellow cattle. Each has its own characteristics. There are many mountains and few fields, so raise scalpers. If there are many fields, plains and rains, raise buffaloes. Generally speaking, raising yellow cattle has more market and prospect, and the meat is more delicious and delicious. Because scalpers are easy to raise. Isn't it easy to raise buffaloes? The cost of raising yellow cattle should be lower. Raising buffaloes is expensive. My last choice is to raise cattle.
