Feeding For Beef And Dairy Cattle

Why is it so important to ensure complete unifeed portions for our cattle?
What differentiates the feeding of beef cattle from dairy cattle? Let's find out together!

Ideal feeding for cattle breeding

Every cattle farmer knows perfectly well how important it is not to neglect nutrition for their animals.
To ensure that our cattle are healthy and strong, it is necessary to give them the right quantity and quality of nutrition.
The feeding of cattle, especially, is essential not only to ensure their well-being, but also because it directly affects humans.
Providing and guaranteeing the right and correct amount of feed to cattle (in terms of nutritional values) thus becomes an absolute priority.

Feeding for beef cattle

The steak we bring to our tables never tastes the same.
Various factors affect the quality of a cut of meat, including: the place where the animal was raised, the feed with which it was fed, the breed, the sex of the animal and the age.
What is certain is that the diet to which you have to submit your cattle is perfectly balanced.
Unifeed portions must be consist exclusively composed of plant foods such as:

• cereals
• legumes
• vegetable fats
• plant silage
• fresh and dried fodder

As mentioned all feed should be of plant origin and absolutely not animal.

Feeding for dairy cattle

Dairy cows have to take on different nutritional needs depending on their health, breed, age, health and level of production.
Each cow is therefore different and should be fed differently according to their characteristics and needs.
Here are the basic nutrients that dairy cows should not lack so that they can grow healthily and the dairy products on our tables are of excellent quality:

• turnips
• beets
• fresh fodder
• broad beans, oats, peas, barley and wheat
• beans
• corn, oats, bran, rye, carob, maize flours
• vitamins and minerals

As in the case of beef cattle, even for dairy cattle it is not allowed giving them food of animal origin, only plant-based food.
