Cultivation of cattle - cows and bulls. Breeding cattle

Currently, the breeding of cattle for the purpose of making a profit is distributed in three areas - dairy, meat and dairy-meat. This natural products foods that are in demand. To start such a business, you need to equip the premises, select the necessary breeds of animals, determine distribution channels, and select employees. And this is only a small part of all cases. Let's take a closer look at all stages of activity, as well as the pros and cons of each of the three areas.

Registration and start of activity

The first step is to monitor the market. You need to understand whether it really makes sense to start a business. At this stage, the possibilities and needs of the region are clarified. Be sure to study the presence of future competitors and, if possible, they should be distant. Points of sale can be small trading places, meat processing plants and dairies. They are considered, both local and in the nearest settlements. If everything is in order with this, it is necessary to issue a status individual entrepreneur. Despite the fact that the business starts its journey from home, everything must be legal. This means compliance with formalities and mandatory documentation. To reduce taxation, IP is issued under the code "livestock".

It will also be a plus to establish contacts with persons who will interact with the future farm - veterinarians. Their activities are no less important, because these are the necessary certificates, vaccinations and much more.

It is necessary to decide in which direction the work will be organized. This can be breeding bulls for meat at home or keeping cows for dairy products, as well as combined, that is, the sale of both meat and milk. Some farmers are in the business of raising and trading calves, which is also profitable.

Site selection

The area for breeding cattle should be selected very carefully. It is necessary to choose the appropriate size and conditions for the livestock. If the site is small relative to the number of heads, then there is a risk of rapid contamination. At this stage, the size of the herd is determined. In general, the whole plan of the farm is established, which should include a cowshed, pasture, various utility rooms and sheds, warehouses for feed.

Breeding cows at home as a business implies that the future farmer has a piece of land. If not, then you can rent some empty territories and premises. It is also possible to start construction on land from scratch, if financial possibilities allow.

The territory of the paddock for cattle is determined at the rate of 10 sq.m. for one head. If there is grazing on a pasture, then in this case, about 1 ha of land will be needed for one cow. It should be noted that you need to stock up on hay for winter period, and this is another plus one hectare. For all structures on the territory of the future farm, at least 200 square meters will be required. m.

It is good when there are enterprises nearby that are engaged in the cultivation and marketing of crops and root crops. This is necessary to provide cows with quality products in terms of additional nutrition.

Cowshed and equipment

To breed cows as a business, you need to understand all the intricacies and start with a small number of heads that do not need large areas. You can always, if necessary, buy more cattle and complete the building. The best option is 10 heads. If there is a building that was a cowshed in the past, then this perfect option. For beginners, building from scratch will be difficult both physically and in terms of collecting documentation. It is best to rent a room and make a suitable repair there.

It is necessary to prepare the barn in accordance with sanitary standards. This means that there are special requirements, which include the presence of a wooden floor with straw bedding, a ceiling height of 2.4 m, feeders, drinkers, walls that are insulated with bundles of straw, as well as ventilation.

On the farm, future farmers definitely need to stock up on various equipment - these are shovels, pitchforks, buckets, overalls, containers, scales. In the process, you need to purchase a car designed to deliver products. It will be a plus to purchase a mini-tractor, with the help of which hay will be harvested, manure cleaned and various other household chores.

Arrangement of the premises

It is possible to breed and raise calves and care for cows in separate boxes, in rooms with thick bedding, or in a room without a leash, but with flooring for relaxation. If we take the presence of ten heads of cattle as a basis, then an acceptable building will be 34 by 6 meters in size. For one cow, you need to allocate 2 square meters. m. When there are not many animals, stalls are built for them.

The technique of breeding cattle involves the obligatory cleaning of the barn from contamination. Often structures are built with a special slurry tank and a manure room. In more simple version you just need to change the soiled straw bedding for a clean one. It is either disposed of on personal property or sold as fertilizer.

There should be enough windows in the room, as well as doors for cleaning the boxes from manure. When breeding dairy cows, you need to think about acquiring a milking system and a regular water supply. Feeding troughs fit different ones - from collective to personal. You can also equip them with a food supply system.

Acquisition of animals

To start breeding cows as a business, you need to find a suitable farm that sells calves. It must be reliable supplier which will provide healthy individuals. best period for such an acquisition, the end of winter or the beginning of spring. The payback of the business depends on the types of purchased animals. It can be purebred bulls and cows, or half-breeds. There are special nurseries that monitor the purity of the breed. Such cows are able to give good milk yields and gain significant weight. The output is only high-quality products.

Starting a business from scratch, it is best to form a small herd. In this case, you can buy young animals from households. However, novice farmers very often acquire adult cows, but not old ones. When drawing up a business plan for breeding cattle, it is advisable to work out both options and choose the most profitable one. It must be remembered that the first option with young animals is quite troublesome and risky.

In addition to the fact that the calf needs some care, it is not clear what kind of adult it will grow up to and whether it will live up to expectations. When purchasing a bull-calf, which is not yet a month old, it is necessary to feed it with milk. Up to 10 liters are required per day. If there is no dairy cow in the property, then these are financial costs. The purchase of dry mixes and other related products is also an investment, and the animal may not gain the required weight. It is better to buy a calf at the age of one month and above.

In the second option, you can also make a mistake, because they can sell an old cow. If a dairy farm is planned, then it must be taken responsibly, since the cow gives maximum milk yield in the period from 3 to 13 years.

Milk farm

So when on initial stage building a business, it is decided that the farm must operate in order to obtain milk and dairy products, it is necessary to purchase good cows. This technique of breeding cattle is quite within the power of a beginner.

Selecting the required number of cows for milk, you need to choose thoroughbred highly productive individuals. The presence of such heads is at Russian breeding plants. Most popular:

  • black-and-white is considered very common and occupies almost 50% of the total dairy population. She is able to produce approximately 5500-5800 kg of milk per year;
  • the Holstein breed was bred in the 1970s and 80s and for one milking it turns out from 30 kg of milk, and per year, on average, 7400 kg;
  • Kholmogory is considered an old breed and is capable of producing up to 8000 kg of milk per year with good feeding. But the average figures can be considered 4000-6000 kg.

If a novice farmer purchases animals from a breeder, he must be provided with documents and veterinary certificates.

When choosing a cow suitable for milking, you need to pay attention to the structure and shape of the animal. As mentioned above, age matters. The older the animal, the less milk it will produce. The number of years is determined by the horns. They count the number of roller lines and add two more years to this figure. Thus, the exact age is obtained.

The number of calving also affects productivity. The highest milk yields occur after the third birth. It is best for business to purchase cows after the first calving.

Animals for meat

Breeding bulls and cows for meat is no less profitable business. Meat cattle should be prone to rapid weight gain, have product suitability, female individuals are able to calve every year.

When choosing animals and breeding them, the breed has great importance. Especially important is the time during which the calf can gain the desired weight. More different types animals may differ in the taste of meat. Fast-growing meat breeds include Charolais, Kazakh white-headed, Simmental, Hereford. The purchase of newborn calves is the cheapest, but it is burdensome in terms of feeding. The best way to breed bulls at home is to buy individuals that can eat food and grass.

Of course, every newcomer to the farming business is interested to know why the above breeds of cattle are bred for meat. Almost all of them have a low percentage of product salting. This means that the fat content of such meat will be minimal. However, the increase in mass is rather short-lived. If we consider the Hereford breed, then it has a rather calm temperament and excellent taste. The Kazakh white-headed and Charolais can easily endure the local climate and temperature fluctuations. In this regard, they are very hardy. If the Simmental cow is both dairy and meat, then the Kazakh white-headed milk productivity is quite low.

Breeding bulls for meat as a business requires quality maintenance and care. In the warm season, they need daily walking. It is not recommended to constantly keep such individuals in the stall, although in this way they gain weight very quickly. This method makes them aggressive and contributes to various diseases.

The arrangement of the pen involves expenses for a novice farmer. Accordingly, he must arrange right place for walking, which must be constantly kept clean. With this method, the beef is very good quality. If the number of heads is quite impressive, then most likely you will need housekeepers. Recruitment point and wages for it should be considered at the initial stage and when building a business plan.

If, nevertheless, the method of keeping bulls on a leash is chosen, then you need to take care of high-quality equipment, as they can be aggressive. In the stall, individuals should be well fixed. On the other hand, this method allows you to assess the condition of the animal, make various measurements, veterinary examinations.

Breeding bulls as a business for the production of meat products in a paddock is less expensive than stall keeping. One of the reasons for this conclusion is that much fewer employees are needed to work.

Combined breeding method

For business, such universal breeds as Simmental, Lebedinskaya, Swiss, Red Gorbatovskaya, Kostroma are suitable. All of them are able to achieve a large body weight, and females give milk yield on average from 3000 to 5000 kg per year. For slaughter, almost every breed is able to give out from 50% of the weight. The growth of calves is quite active and by six months they weigh quite impressively.

All listed living creatures have high rates of taste of meat and dairy products. For successful business this is a clear plus.

Sales of products

This is an equally important step in the business. Having decided what kind of product should be the output - meat or milk - the farmer needs to sell it.

If the farm is aimed at breeding and growing meat heads, then after acquiring the young, the meat will be in about a year. Dairy cows give milk all the time, except during calving. You can also supply related products. These are skins, milk (cheese, butter, kefir, sour cream), semi-finished meat products. At the beginning of the article, it was also mentioned about such a direction as the sale of young animals. With the ability to organize the rearing of calves, this can become additional receipt arrived.

Any of the goods, be it milk or meat, can be sold wholesale or retail. Many processing plants often cooperate with farms. It is also possible to conclude an agreement with points Catering and shops. Guided by the main advantage - environmental friendliness of products - it is necessary to establish high-quality sales of products.

Hello, dear readers and guests of the blog. Just the other day, a seminar was held in the Starorussky district on the topic “Experience and problems of recovery from cattle leukemia of all forms of ownership in the Novgorod region”.

I was not on it, but the information wave has reached my ears. At this seminar, it was decided to negotiate with the breeding reproducers of the region on the possible exchange of cattle for healthy cattle from among the culled livestock due to low milk yield.

Thus, as I understand it, breeding farms will have to deal with the alignment of the herd.

herd alignment- this is the sale of low-productive livestock (by the standards of breeding reproducers) to other farms, and not its transfer to fattening, and then to slaughter.

But in order to engage in alignment, you need to clearly understand what the structure of a herd of cattle is.

The structure of the herd is the percentage of sex and age criteria of animals on the farm.

In dairy cattle breeding, the following groups are distinguished:

- cows,

- heifers

- heifers older than one year

- heifers up to a year old,

- bulls older than a year

- bulls up to a year.

Actually, each livestock specialist fills in all these groups in a monthly report on the movement of livestock.

From the breeding point of view, the structure of the herd is slightly different. As in the first case, the whole herd is divided into a dairy herd and young stock. In turn, the dairy herd consists of animals included in the breeding core, selection group, production group and marriage (fattening).

Tribal core of cows- a group of animals that have high rates of productivity and impeccable proportions of the body (based on grading). In simple words- this is the livestock from which you want to receive replacement young stock. The breeding core should cover approximately 50-60% of the livestock.

Breeding group- stands out from the tribal core, in order to obtain bulls from her for the tribe. Basically 20% of the population of the tribe.

Production group- these are all those cows that did not fall into the breeding core.

Marriage These are objectionable animals for a number of reasons. It can be barrenness, chronic mastitis, zoobrak, etc.

Young growth, in turn, is divided into replacement young growth and marriage. I would also single out a separate group for sale.

Since breeding reproducers are obliged to sell 10% of animals to other farms.

How to form the structure of the herd of cattle?

We go to the program menu - Reports (third column) - Code of grading - table No. 4 "Characteristics of cows and fat content in milk per l.l.)

Let's say that the milk yield per feed cow on your farm is 7,000 liters. Feel free to highlight the interval from 6000 and above. For me it is 146 years. Almost 50% of the livestock. Actually, what we need.

But this table has two drawbacks:

  1. We do not see the number and name of the animal
  2. The list includes animals that have passed the appraisal. That is, if you have a herd of 400 animals, then the program can give you 310 animals.

To get complete information, you need to go to another program report form.

Reports - tab "Lists of cows" - in the criteria, check the box "Yield 305 days". Press "Report" A list is formed where the cows are written according to the level of milk yield from minimum to maximum. It remains only to identify the animals in the herd.

There is another way to view the best cows. We all go to the same “Reports” - “Scoring code” - table 7 mol / 2 “Inventory of the best cows selected in the group of mothers of bulls”. Here we are invited to form a selection group.

What can be the conclusion? If my farm were offered to sell a culling for productivity, then there would be only 10 such cows! Is it a lot or a little for the Novgorod region? I think it's a drop in the ocean...

I hope that this article on the structure of the herd on a dairy farm was useful to you and now you can easily distinguish between individual groups. This element of work is very important in breeding business.

This concludes my article, take care of yourself and your cows! See you!

    Victor, thanks! interesting material, with examples and calculations. And most importantly - applicable in practice, in order to speak the same language with livestock specialists and set them the right tasks. We do not have such a technique. And here's another topic that interests me - zootechnical selection of young animals (according to the exterior, by weight, by the productivity of parents, by other breeding characteristics) at the age of 1-3 months. How to do it in practice and arrange? After all, it should be, especially in breeding farms, otherwise the dairy herd falls into decay. I would like to read your materials on this topic as a practice.

    Answer

    1. Hello, Natalia. I'm glad that given material useful to you in practice.

      As for the selection of young animals at the age of 1-3 months, there are few selection criteria. The main thing is to monitor the increase in live weight so that the calf meets the planned weight gain.

      The selection of young animals should be carried out in more adulthood. As a rule, this is done already under the mating of heifers.

      I think I'll write this question separate article.

An important area of ​​commercial and private agricultural activity is cattle breeding. This process, if done correctly, can be effective and profitable business. But what is needed for this? We will analyze the basics of organizing activities for breeding cows for milk and meat.

Basics

The process of breeding cattle (cattle) - activities for the cultivation and maintenance of farm animals of the Bulls subfamily. The purpose of the activity is to obtain meat, milk, skins and wool, use animals as draft power, as well as breeding work.

The total number of cattle on the planet is about 1.5 billion heads. In modern cattle breeding, there are about 300 breeds of cattle. About 50 breeds are used in Russia.

The number of cattle in Russia and distribution by types of farms (data for 2016):

As can be seen from the data on the number, breeding and keeping cows is effective both as a business and as a private activity for growing at home for milk and meat.

Breeds of cattle

Agricultural and farming organizations may focus on obtaining meat or milk. Mixed farms prevail in Russia, where priority is given to breeding meat and dairy breeds.

This approach allows us to quickly respond to market changes and effectively pursue a flexible policy by selling dairy and meat products.

Breed of cattle Origin Direction Height (cm) Weight, kg) Peculiarities Value
Hereford England meat 125 650-1350 Hardy, strong, adapted to various climatic conditions, tolerate long hauls and keeping on pastures, are well fattened and fattening. High quality marbled meat, slaughter yield - 65% of total weight, the best meat for steaks.
Aberdeen Angus Scotland meat 120-150 500-1000 Excellent fattening, adapted to keeping on outdoors even in the cold. Excellent marbled meat for steaks, yield - 60%, milk yield - 2 thousand kg per year.
Kholmogory Russia dairy 130-132 400- 800 Adapted to regions with cold climates. Milk productivity - 3.5-4 thousand kg of milk, fat content - 3.6-3.7%.
Ayrshire Scotland dairy 125 450-850 It is adapted for breeding in the northern regions, it is distinguished by the constancy of milk yield, easy adaptation to new conditions, it absorbs roughage well. Milk productivity - about 8 thousand kg of milk with a fat content of 4%.
Yaroslavskaya Russia dairy 125-127 450-550 Tasty and high-quality milk, adaptability to harsh climate, disease resistance (leukemia). Satisfactory meat quality, slaughter yield - from 52 to 62%, average milk yield - about 3.2 thousand kg of milk with a fat content of 4.2%.
Simmental Switzerland meat and dairy 135-140 550-650 Adaptability to various climatic conditions, high weight gain throughout the entire period of growth. The optimal combination of meat and dairy qualities. Milk productivity - 3-3.5 thousand kg of milk.
Kostroma Russia milk and meat 137-147 550-900 They are hardy, have good health and high adaptability, live long and keep milk yield until old age. Milk yield - 3.5-5 thousand kg of milk with a fat content of 3.8%.

Other quality breeds of cows:

  • Dutch;
  • black-and-white;
  • red steppe;
  • Sychevskaya;
  • Swiss;
  • Kalmyk;
  • bestuzhevskaya;
  • charolais;
  • limousine;
  • Kazakh white-headed.

The characteristics of modern breeds of meat and dairy breeds make it possible to effectively breed cows almost throughout Russia. The main conditions are the quality of feed and the conditions of detention.

Sanitary requirements

An important condition for breeding cattle is compliance with veterinary and sanitary rules.

The norms of veterinary and sanitary control are regulated at the legislative level, annually updated and specified by orders of the Ministry Agriculture and others regulations competent government authorities.

Primary requirements:

  • maintenance and grazing in strictly designated areas;
  • compliance with the rules for protecting cows from other domestic animals;
  • the presence of ventilation;
  • regular cleaning and storage of manure in special places;
  • the presence of washing, veterinary and other separate premises necessary for the quality maintenance of cows;
  • compliance with the rules of sectional and group placement of cattle;
  • the presence of walking areas;
  • organization of high-quality feeding;
  • regular disinsection (destruction of insects), desacarization (destruction of ticks) and deratization (destruction of rodents) of the premises of the barn;
  • availability of quarantine zones in cowsheds;
  • systematic vaccination in deadlines and regular check-ups by a veterinarian.

Breeding as a business

Cattle breeding is one of the promising directions business in agriculture.

In the face of growing demand for environmentally friendly, high-quality meat and dairy products, a well-organized farm can become stable source growing profits. But high competition and risks require a balanced and thoughtful approach to organizing such a business.

Planning

The first step towards organizing a farm is to draw up a detailed business plan that will take into account all financial costs and profitability.

Directions of financial costs when organizing a farm:

  • lease of the territory;
  • construction or repair of cowsheds, other industrial premises;
  • current utility costs;
  • purchase of young animals;
  • procurement and purchase of feed;
  • maintenance of animals and premises.

Organizational issues that also need to be addressed:

  • registration of a farm organization;
  • attraction of credit funds (if necessary);
  • negotiation of contractual terms for the supply of feed, equipment, livestock;
  • obtaining all veterinary and sanitary permits.

Logistics is key. The choice of a farm location should take into account a number of factors.

  1. Remoteness of food sources. It is better that it is directly from the manufacturer.
  2. Development of transport infrastructure.
  3. Availability of quality pastures and meadows.
  4. Sales facilities, remoteness.

Another the most important aspect planning - market analysis in the region. The purpose of this work is to determine the degree of demand for farm products, the shortage or surplus of local items, their quality and price.

The choice of cow breed is an equally important factor to consider when planning.

When selecting the optimal breeds, a number of key aspects should be taken into account:

  • adaptability to local climatic conditions;
  • indicators of milk yield and live weight;
  • exactingness to the conditions of detention and diet.

The purchase of livestock should be carried out in large breeding farms, where the work on breeding thoroughbred individuals is set at a professional level.

Barn organization

The cowshed must meet the requirements that are established in the relevant GOSTs. When arranging, it is important to take into account the parameters and conditions that are set out in these documents.

Key Requirements

  1. Ceiling height - not less than 2.5 m.
  2. For one cow at least 6 square meters. m, with a calf - 10 sq. m. The animal should move quietly and lie down to rest.
  3. Temperature range - from 10 to 18°C. In winter, the temperature should not fall below. There is a slight decrease - the rate of feeding for warming increases, if the temperature drop is significant - it is necessary to take measures to warm the premises.
  4. Cattle release ammonia and carbon dioxide. The barn must have effective system ventilation. There should be no drafts.
  5. Equipment of special drains for the effective removal of manure and urine.
  6. Ensuring the illumination of barns for at least 14 hours a day.

Factors to consider when organizing a barn:

  • square;
  • electricity;
  • water supply;
  • heating;
  • ventilation;
  • feed supply and dosage system;
  • milk production equipment (if breeding dairy breeds);
  • manure cleaning complex.

A barn for 30 cows for a small farm includes several sectors.

  1. Stable.
  2. Stall dividers.
  3. Feed table.
  4. Maternity ward.
  5. Stalls for cows and calves.
  6. Separate stalls for bulls.
  7. Milk washing department.
  8. Technological passage.
  9. Fermsky manure storage.
  10. Cup automatic drinker.
  11. Manure receiving and manure collecting channels.

With an increase in the area, the number of barn elements increases. The availability of equipment provides a different level of automation. In advanced farms, almost all cow maintenance processes are automated.

Equipment

  1. Machine milking machines.
  2. Feed grinders. Cows eat fine feed better, it is better absorbed, which affects the quality and speed of weight gain. There are two types - root cutters, straw cutters.
  3. feed mills. Used for crushing feed. There are three main types - drum, disk, roller.
  4. Conveyors and conveyors. Machines for continuous movement of various goods. On large farms and in cowsheds, they are indispensable when supplying feed.

Staff of specialists

For the organization of the normal functioning of the barn, it is necessary to attract highly qualified specialists in several areas. Full staff:

  1. veterinary workers.
  2. Milkmaids.
  3. Cattlemen.
  4. Calfs.
  5. Mechanics, other technical personnel.
  6. Engineers.

Cattle rearing techniques

The term breeding technique is directly related to the order of reproduction of livestock on the farm. Breeding work allows you to increase the number of cattle with the preservation of thoroughbred properties.

Factors to consider when reproducing:

  1. Physiological and sexual maturity of individuals. Readiness for fertilization and insemination depends on factors: breed, age, nutrition, climate, conditions of detention. Beef cows reach reproductive age faster than dairy cows. The reproductive age of females occurs at 6-9 months, males - 7-8 months. Young beef breeds are divided by gender as early as the third month after birth.
  2. Readiness of females for calving. The female is allowed to fertilize only if she has gained 65-75% of optimal weight adult breeds. The weight of cows of small breeds - 330 kg, large - 360 kg.
  3. Rationality of use of bulls producers. They are attracted to insemination from 14 months when they reach a mass of 400 kg. For a year, one male is able to inseminate up to 200 females. The load is calculated based on the age of the bull. Young animals are capable of effective mating 2-3 times a week, older ones - once every seven days. The minimum rest period for a bull is a day, preferably two days.
  4. The timing of female fertilization. Cows are allowed to be fertilized not earlier than 18 months.
  5. The duration of "rest" after the birth of calves.

The process of insemination can be carried out naturally (mating) or artificially (using a special tool). The case is divided into manual (forced) or free.

Instrumental insemination can be either visocervical or rectocervical. More efficient and productive artificial rectocervical method. In Russia, about 90% of cows are inseminated using instrumental methods.

In winter, cows are kept in a barn. all year round, with the onset of the period green grass many enterprises are transferring livestock to a stallless housing with a move to special paddocks for pastures.

Feeding

A special place in the breeding of cattle is feeding. His key parameters which are important to consider - diet, feeding norms.

The diet of cows includes 6 types of feed.

  1. Green - fresh herbaceous meadow plants.
  2. Juicy - silage, root crops, tops.
  3. Coarse - hay, straw, grassy flour.
  4. Concentrated - bran, grain, legumes, cereals, meal, cake, yeast.
  5. Compound feed.
  6. Animal origin - meat and bone meal, fish meal.

Norms of feeding cows during the stall period (in kg):

Norms of feeding cows during the pasture period (in kg):

In addition to seasonality, the diet is adjusted depending on the specialization of breeding - meat or dairy. For dairy cows, there should be more juicy, green feed. For meat individuals, the amount of concentrated, protein-rich feed increases.

Bulls, gobies and calves have their own dietary characteristics.

The diet of meat breeds can be of three types:

  • complete (compound feed);
  • summer grazing ( daily rate grazing outdoors - at least 13 hours);
  • stall.

Feeding also depends on the condition of the cow:

  • rest period, dead wood - two months before calving;
  • milking - the first three months after calving;
  • lactation;
  • start - stopping milking before the next calving.

Risks and difficulties

Growing and keeping cattle carries a number of risks. This applies to animal diseases. Diseases significantly reduce the quality of products, and infections can lead to the death of the entire livestock.

The main diseases of cows:

  • foot and mouth disease;
  • brucellosis;
  • udder diseases - furunculosis, mastitis, edema;
  • arthritis;
  • hoof problems - laminitis, strawberry disease, corolla cellulitis;
  • endometritis;
  • blockage of the esophagus;
  • leukemia;
  • leptospirosis.

Key causes of diseases:

  1. Poor quality of feed, violation of the diet.
  2. Failure to comply with sanitary and hygienic standards.
  3. Poor conditions in the barn.

Preventive measures:

  • feed quality control;
  • compliance with nutritional standards;
  • quality care - udder massage, teat treatment, cleaning;
  • maintaining a comfortable level of content - high-quality bedding, optimal temperature conditions, access fresh air, lack of drafts, regular walking;
  • regular disinfection of barns;
  • vaccination against salmonellosis, foot-and-mouth disease, anthrax, etc.

It is important to observe the timing and frequency of vaccine administration.

In addition to commercial farming as part of a business project, it is possible to breed cattle at home. The main condition is the availability of land and appropriate outbuildings. Breeding cows is great for private households, this is evidenced by the history of the development of the Russian village.

Breeding dairy cows at home is not so easy. It is necessary to have all the knowledge, create optimal conditions of detention, constantly devote time and energy to the cause.

Knowledge required for successful cultivation cows at home for milk or meat:

  • features of keeping cattle in summer and winter conditions;
  • the specifics of keeping livestock in a particular region;
  • variety of meat and dairy breeds of cattle, their profitability;
  • diet and feeding norms;
  • diseases, treatment and prevention.

  1. Regular feeding.
  2. Tracking the diet, its seasonal adjustment, taking into account the individual characteristics of animals.
  3. Providing fresh and clean water.
  4. Cleaning of places of detention from manure is carried out every day.
  5. Indoor maintenance optimum temperature, protection of a stall against drafts.
  6. Arrangement of a comfortable bedding on the floor, its regular updating.
  7. Organization of walking, maintaining the minimum physical activity of the cow.

A well-fed, warm and healthy cow will produce tasty and healthy milk. If necessary, it will become a source of quality beef.

Cattle breeding in Russia in 2016, data as of October 1

Cattle breeding in Russia in 2016- a review article prepared by specialists of the Expert and Analytical Center for Agribusiness "AB-Center" www.ab-centre.ru based on Rosstat data. The materials of the article include statistical data on the number of cattle, beef and milk production in 2013-2016, including by categories of farms, by quarters. Long-term trends (since 2001) are presented at the link - Livestock in Russia. The review is supported by useful links that complement the material.
