Beef cattle should be fed protein feed in moderation during the fattening process. Different beef cattle, different periods, the protein needs are different. Protein feed fed more, beef cattle can not absorb, resulting in feed waste, increase feed costs, but also to increase the burden on the cattle's stomach and intestines, causing disease; protein feed fed less, can not meet the growth and development of beef cattle on the need for protein, will directly affect the fattening.

1, calf fattening

3 months of age before the calf, faster growth rate, the need for protein is very large, in the diet, the content of protein feed can account for 20%. At the same time, because of its rumen development is very imperfect, the body can not synthesize some essential amino acids, so it is appropriate to feed with different protein feed. Calves grow 6 months to 12 months, weight 150 kg to 200 kg, the content of protein feed in the diet, can be reduced by about 15%. Later, as the calf weight increases, the content of protein feed in the diet can be gradually reduced to 12%.

2, frame cattle fattening

Body weight of about 300 kilograms of frame cattle, protein feed in the diet of the proportion, can account for 10% to 13%. Later weight gradually increase, protein feed in the diet content, can also be reduced. To the end of fattening, the content of protein feed, accounting for 10% of the diet can be.

3, old cattle fattening

The content of protein feed in the fattening ration of old cattle needs only 10%, but must be fed more corn, sorghum, dried sweet potatoes and other energy feeds.
