Tanghe fresh pasture produces green cattle

Introduction: off site: Green Mexican corn, alfalfa full of flowers, turquoise Sudan grass 200 mu of grassland can't be seen at a glance In the field: a fat cattle is tasting their fine fodder, fresh forage This is a scene I have seen with my own eyes in the cattle fattening farm in Huyang Town, Tanghe County, Henan Province Huyang Town, Tanghe County, Henan Province, is one of the largest cattle towns in Nanyang city The cattle husbandry mainly develops rapidly The number of cattle raised recently reached 55000, and the annual output value of animal husbandry exceeded 100 million yuan In the face of the challenge of entering WTO, since last year, the town has put forward the development idea of "green animal husbandry based on grass to promote animal husbandry and vigorously develop herbivorous livestock", actively guiding farmers to plant grass This year, the whole town's grass area is 600 mu, and next year it will be 3000 mu Last year, the town introduced more than 10 summer and winter quality forage varieties from Shandong, Inner Mongolia and other places, such as Mexico corn, alfalfa, ryegrass, Rumex, and vigorously promoted forage planting Huang Gangqiang, the leader of Huyang cattle fattening farm, the forerunner of the town's forage planting, told the author: "the cattle I fatten with forage have tender meat, less fat, high crude fiber content, high meat yield and good market price Why don't I do it?" It is understood that Mexican corn can be harvested four or five times a year, with an annual output of 12000 kg per mu, equivalent to the annual feed for four cows, equivalent to the output value of four mu of wheat or ordinary corn Compared with forage, a cow can save 6 yuan a day and gain 2 jin of fertilizer In addition, this is an ecological planting, no chemical fertilizer, no pesticide, so that grass really become a green food for cattle This has broken the bottleneck that has plagued beef cattle export with high pesticide residues in the past Now, the port supply of high-quality live cattle in the town has increased to more than 3000 annually, with an annual increase of 7.5 million yuan In the pasture land of the town's cattle farming area, cement circulating pools with a depth of more than 10 meters are particularly noticeable It turns out that these circulation pools are used to store the cow dung and blood discharged from the cattle farm, wash the dirty water and disinfectant water from the cattle shop, etc After 10-20 days of retting, these wastes have become high-quality fertilizer for grassland, forming an ecological recycling breeding chain of forage, beef cattle and cattle manure Recently, the town's five or more than 100 livestock fattening farms, seven specialized cattle villages and more than 1000 specialized households are adopting this ecological fattening method The average weight of the ecological cattle raised in the town is more than 550 kg, and they are exported to Hong Kong, Russia, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and other large and medium-sized cities Only 2500 live cattle have been sold in Hong Kong In May this year, the town's Yichun produced a 3000 Jin Charolais ecological cattle with fresh grass Only one piece of cattle hide was bought by Luoyang drum factory for 2400 yuan.
