Second, to identify the root cause of reduced feed intake of fattening cattle
(1) Reduced feed intake before finishing fattening
At the end of fattening, when fattening cattle are found to be slow walking, love lying, less activity, bloated body, and subcutaneous fat thickening; fattening cattle gradually reduce feed intake (reduced feed intake by 10% to 20%); At this time, the intake of fattening cattle decreased to normal.
(2) Reduced feed intake during fattening cattle
When it is found that the feed intake of fattening cattle suddenly decreases, and the amount of reduction is extremely large (reducing the feed intake by 50% to 80%), it is judged that the fattening cattle have a high temperature or pain performance when observing the cattle. The amount is reduced.
(3) Reduced feed intake during anorexia in the middle of the fattening period
During the fattening and feeding process, the body temperature of the fattening cattle is normal, and there is no special change in the surrounding environment, but the feed intake of the fattening cattle is less than normal (the reduction of feed intake is 15%~30%), which can be judged as the anorexia of the cattle during the fattening period. Causes a reduction in feed intake.
(4) Reduced feed intake due to poor feed quality
When the quality of the feed is poor, the cow wants to eat but does not want to approach the trough or feed the feed. It is judged that the feed is so bad and the feed has an odor, which causes a decrease in feed intake.
(5) Reduced feed intake due to insufficient drinking water
The fattening cattle are rough, the feces are granulated, and the urine is thick and yellow. The cow wants to eat but the feed intake is small. When the water is drunk, it can be judged that the feed intake is reduced due to lack of water.
(6) Improper feeding method (too much feeding)
The feed intake is reduced, the feed in the trough is more, the leftovers are more left, and the fattening cattle are arched in the trough. It can be judged that the feed intake is too large, resulting in a decrease in feed intake.
(7) High temperature and high humidity
The fattening cattle have poor adaptability to high temperature and high humidity environment conditions. When the ambient temperature is above 35 °C, the fattening cattle have normal body temperature and normal activities, but the feeding is not active, and it can be judged that the temperature is high and the humidity is high. The amount is reduced.
(8) Other factors
Some cattle have been thin for a long time, but there is no pathological manifestation. There may be internal or external parasites or gallstones (commonly known as bezoar) causing a decrease in feed intake.
