How to Successfully Farm Beef Cattle

Farm Beef Cattle

How to Successfully Farm beef cattle - Farmers beef cattle classes are given special training to home following the standard beef cut into large scale maintenance. This training includes knowledge transfer to breeders in selecting beef cattle breeds. For example, in terms of body shape, type beef cattle breeds generally has rectangular body shape or round cylinders. While the body part face, middle and back of the same strong and growing line of the upper and lower parts of the body. Thus, the quality of the beef is cut into his equal and worthy to be consumed with a Cattlemen's beef cattle of great class. Within the next six months, ranchers beef cattle class home could have benefited approximately Rp4 Rp5 million per million to one oxtail pieces. In fact, in one household, beef cattle are cultivated on average 2 to 3 tails. If the price of the seeds of one's tail between Rp6 Rp7 million – million, while having maintained for six months, the price of beef in the market grew between Rp10 – Rp11 million, profit breeders could achieve Rp4 Rp5 million per million – tail. This spider could be doubled while the religious feast day arrives, such as Eid Al-Fitr, Christmas and eid al-Adha.


Farm beef cattle the majority still with traditional patterns and sideline business scale. This is due to the magnitude of the investment if done on a large and modern, with small business scale will benefit both if done with the principles of modern cultivation. With the principles of the K-3 (quantity, quality and health) really help the cultivation of fattening beef cattle for either large or small business scale.

Fattening beef cattle is the maintenance of mature cows in an emaciated for improved her weight through the enlargement of the meat in a relatively short period of time (3-5 months).

Some matters relating to the business of fattening beef cattle are:

1. The types of beef cattle.

Some types of cattle used for beef fattening in the business are going to cut in Indonesia is:

A. Bali Cattle.
Its red color with white on the legs from the knee down and on the buttocks, back streaked with black color (eel). The superiority of these cows can adapt well in new environments.

B. Ongole Cattle.
It’s white with black in some parts of the body, wattle and apparent hump, and the power to blend well. This type has been crossed with beef Madura, his descendants are called crossbreed Ongole (PO) attribute equal to Ongole cattle but lower production capabilities.

C. Cows Brahman.
Its character is brown to dark brown, with white on the head. The resource growth is rapid, so being a belle beef cattle in Indonesia.

D. Madura Cattle.
Discrete  hump, yellow to red brick, sometimes there are white on the muzzle, tail and legs down. Types of beef it had a power increase of low weight.

E. The Cow Limousine.
Black characteristics vary with red brick and white, there are white on the muzzle of the head, the body of large-sized and has a good production levels


2. The election was going.

Going is an important factor, because it determines the end result of the efforts of fattening.
The elections are going to require precision, sharp and experience. Traits of a good time going is:
• Was in the top 2, 5 years.
• The male gender.
• Long, rounded body shape and width, minimum height of 170 cm long shoulder at least 135 cm, chest circumference 130 cm.
• Thin body, bones protruding, but staying healthy (thin due to lack of feed, not for pain).
• Eyes shining bright and smooth.
• Normal poop
How The Maintenance Of The Cow

A. Cowshed.


In General, the enclosure has two types, that is, individuals and groups. In individual cages, each cow occupies a place of his own, measuring 2.5 X 1.5 m of this type can spur growth more rapidly, since it does not occur in the competition get a feed and have limited space, so the energy obtained from the feed used to live staples and meat production are not lost because a lot of moves. At the Coop group, going in one period of the fattening is placed in a cage. One cow requires a broader place than individual cages. The weaknesses of this cage type i.e. going competition in getting the feed so that cows tend to be stronger than the fast-growing weaker, as more get the feed.

B. Feed.

Based on physiological conditions and systems digestion, cows ruminant animals classed, for digestion through three processes, i.e. mechanically in the mouth with the help of saliva (saliva), in fermentative in rumen and rumen microbes with the help in enzimatis after passing the rumen.
Research shows that by relying on the fattening fodder in the form of forage only, less optimal results and takes a long time. One way to accelerate fattening feed is with a combination of forage and concentrates. Concentrates used is beer dregs, Lees, Lees know sugar cane, soy bean bran, skin, leather and artificial feed plant pineapples. The concentrate is given first for the rumen microbes graze, so when the feed entry, rumen microbial forage rumen has been prepared and actively Digest forage. The needs of feed (in dry weight) each tail is 2.5% of his weight. Forage used is rice straw, sugar cane leaves, the leaves of corn, reeds and wild herbaceous as low-quality feed and elephant grass setaria kolonjono, as high-quality feed.

Determination of the quality of the feed based on the height of the low content of nutrients (substances feed) and coarse fibre levels. Low-quality forage feed contains high rough fiber which is stodgy because there is a soluble lignin by digestive enzymes. To maximize the development of the cows is also equipped with the giving of drugs and vitamins on beef.

Therefore PT NUSANTARA NATURAL help breeders by issuing products NATURAL PROBIOTIC (NPB) that can make low-quality feed into easy to digest. NPB contains:

• Sellulolitic dominant strain of bacteria, namely bacteria in rumen fluid that is able to break down the cell walls with high levels of lignin.
• Multi enzymes in the synthesis of the rumen.
• Pengkelat the materials of anti nutrients.

How to use NPB is as follows:

•  Mix 1 kg of NPB in 100 liters of water.
• Material feed dirajang by up to 20-25 cm in order to increase the effectiveness of the fermentation process.
• The feed material stack in layers up to a maximum height of 150 cm.
• Flush the stack of material feed with water evenly in order to moisten the material feed.
• Flush the feed pile with solution of NPB evenly. Try the entire feed materials exposed to the spray solution of NPB.
• Close the feed pile with plastic in the meeting. After 48 hours the stack will be the heat that marked the fermentation process lasts well.
• On the 7th day observed, if the fermentation process has been perfect (marked by the smell of caramel/beer and feed ingredients have softened) fermentation process can be terminated.
• If the process has not been perfect, extended by 15 days.
• Before cattle feed ingredients given to first to make dried fodder is dry and not moist so preferred by cattle.

In addition to the NPB, PT. NATURAL ARCHIPELAGO also issued a special supplement for livestock namely VITERNA Plus. This product uses the technology of amino acid that the body's physiological approach was created with a cow, by researching various nutrients needed for livestock.
VITERNA Plus contain a variety of nutrients needed for livestock, namely:

• Minerals as a constituent of bone, blood and plays a role in the synthesis of enzymes, i.e. N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Cl and more.
• These amino acids, namely Arginine, Histidin, Leusin, Isoleucine and others as a constituent of proteins, forming cells and organs of the body.
• Complete vitamins for the body's normal physiological processes and increase the resilience of the cow's body from the attack of the disease.
• Essential organic acids, such as acid, acetic acid and propionate butyric acid.

Usage is to be mixed in with a dose of drinking water:

• 5 cc/tail per day for cows, buffaloes and horses
• 4 cc/tail per day for goats and sheep.

The addition was done on Plus VITERNA awarding the first drinking water.

Create A Modern Beef Cattle Livestock Feed

All breeders are definitely wanted his healthy, plump, and quality with minimal capital and materials possible so more profit to be had. Some breeders have difficulty to determine the appropriate standard and feed the complete nutrition, cases are often found is the incompatibility of the feed given to cows that are intended to cut.

Material feed beef cattle can be applied on all beef cattle fattening like ongole cattle, beef cattle, and the island of bali so much consumption and good quality meat. Please note that the added weight naturally the cows in the range of 500 grams – 1000 grams/day. But to realize that the way the granting of concentrated growth hormones have not been officially standardized by the farm. One of the obstacles often faced by dairy farmers was a matter of limited feed. Then various solutions effective alternative feed for fattening beef cattle continuously attempted, some alternative that is retrieved is making fermented feed with media feed concentrates are natural. Administering concentrated have become the modern cattle fattening alternatives.

Concentrates As Feed Beef Cattle

The concentrate is one of the media feed that arguably compulsory for the breeders of all types of beef cattle fattening who pursue especially piece cow. Also known as a concentrate feed high protein levels of nutrients and carbohydrates as well as coarse fiber of low levels (below 6%). To make the concentrate is good there are some combinations of natural ingredients/organic that we can use as the composition of the manufacture of concentrates. Composition of concentrate ingredients commonly used and easy to come by, among others, the following



• Bran (bran) and composition of 70% or 75% or can be replaced with an alternative form of sago Palm stems which contained sago Palm. Replacement of sago Palm stems with naturally have their own reasons in addition to the Sago Palm stems price economically cheaper than bran/bran because many are also found in almost all regions of Indonesia. In nutritional stems of sago Palm has a fairly high carb. Sago Palm stems can be processed by means of their outer skin peeled and then destroy a sago Palm stems have been shelled by machine or manual way, chopped into 0.5 cm in size or smaller. Soak the minced results last with water, leave it for a day and give on a cow.
• Corn milled by the composition of 8%-10% supplement nutrition especially the needs of fiber and fat roughly nothing on bran. So when milled corn and bran combined will complement each other.
• For cake coconut with a composition of 10%-15% can be substituted for cake or peanuts or soy of course with different nutritional content. Coconut for cake is the rest of coconut oil and extortion making obtained from coconut meat which has been dried beforehand which acts as a source of protein.
• Bone or calcium with powdery composition of 2%-5% as the complementary needs of minerals especially calcium also as Enhancer protein.
• Salt composition of 2% is enough to meet the needs of the mineral.
• When necessary can be given additional vitamin that is already widely used as a supplement to the micro needs, but still based on the prescribed dose, do not get excessive.


Dosage & Time Administering Concentrated Feed Beef Cattle

The right dose feeding concentrates this is given as food/extra boosters on cattle beef cattle in addition to the main staple food in the form of fresh grass and green. Comparison of feeding staple (forage) and concentrate feed for fattening beef is between 30%: 70% or a maximum of 20%: 80%. The time of granting a good concentrates made once daily in the morning before being given the main food in the form of grass. From the results of the study also found that the order granting concentrates first before the main meal (forage) more effectively to promote weight loss because granting concentrates first aims to provide greater energy to the rumen microbes to digest the staple food (grass, etc.) By applying the way cattle feed beef cattle such as this, it is not impossible weight of beef cattle you will be doubled.

Disease Control In Dairy Farms.

In the control of the disease, which is better done is disease prevention rather than treatment, due to the use of drugs will increase production costs and not provided the success of treatment is done. Prevention can be done to preserve the health of the cows are:

• The quarantine enclosure utilization. The new cow going should be quarantined in a separate enclosure, with the purpose to monitor the presence of symptoms of certain diseases which are not known at the time of the purchase process. In addition, also for adaptation of cows to the environment. At the time quarantined cows, preferably given anthelmintic because based on the research of most beef in Indonesia (mainly cow people) suffered intestinal worms. This disease is not deadly, but it will reduce the speed of weight added when the fattening. Cow quarantine time is one week to healthy cows and sick cows at the recently issued after the cow healthy. Quarantine cage in addition to the new cows are also used to separate the old cow suffering from pain in order not contagious to other healthy cows.

• Maintain the cleanliness of a cow going and their enclosures. The intensive fattening of cows will produce a lot of shit because getting sufficient feed, so that sewage should be done at any time if the cage began to dirty to prevent the development of disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
• Vaccinations for going. The granting of sufficient vaccine made at the time the cows are in the quarantine enclosure. Important vaccination vaccination is done Anthrax.

Some kind of disease that can attack the beef cattle is intestinal worms, disease of the mouth and nails (FMD), bloating (Bloat) and others.

Beef Production Pieces.

Factors that affect the production of meat is
1. Feed.
Feed quality and optimal amounts of will effect both to the quality of the meat. Treatment of the feed with the NPB will increase the power especially to feed cerna feed that poor quality while granting VITERNA Plus provide various nutrients needed the cattle so the cows would grow faster and healthier.

2. Genetic factors.
The genetic quality of livestock will grow well/fast that meat production become higher.

3. Gender.
Male cattle grow faster than females, so cattle at the same age, the male body has livestock and meat.

4. Management.
Maintenance with good management to make cows grow healthy and quick form of flesh, so that the period of the fattening become shorter
