Efficacy and function of wheat bran in feeding cattle

1. What are the benefits and effects of wheat bran feeding cattle

Balanced nutrition

Wheat bran has lower nutritional value than corn and soybean meal, and contains more crude fiber that is difficult to digest. It is not the most ideal source of refined feed. However, wheat bran is rich in vitamin B and other vitamins, as well as high phosphorus content. Proper addition of wheat bran to concentrated feed will make the nutrition more comprehensive and balanced.

promote digestion

Because wheat bran is rich in crude fiber and has a certain laxative effect, it helps improve digestive function. Appropriate addition of wheat bran to postpartum cows can accelerate the recovery of digestive function and appetite. The crude fiber in wheat bran can also inhibit the proliferation of intestinal bacteria, which has a certain effect on preventing bacterial dysentery.

2. Method of feeding cattle with wheat bran

calf

When calves start feeding, their digestive function is still relatively weak, so they cannot be fed too much wheat bran, which accounts for about 10% of the concentrate feed. As the growth and intake of calves increase, their digestive ability is further strengthened. In order to prevent constipation in calves, the proportion of wheat bran in the concentrate feed can be increased to 13% - 14%.

Breeding cattle

During the early stage of calves' development, from weaning to skeletal maturity, due to the large amount of calcium and phosphorus required for their rapid bone growth, the proportion of wheat bran in concentrated feed can be maintained at 13% to 14%, but attention should be paid to calcium supplementation to avoid calcium and phosphorus metabolism imbalances.

Breeding cattle

① Breeding cattle are more prone to constipation, so it is advisable to feed more wheat bran to promote digestion and relieve diarrhea. The proportion of wheat bran in concentrated feed during empty pregnancy and early pregnancy is about 15%.

② In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, as the fetus grows and oppresses, cows are more prone to constipation. The proportion of wheat bran in refined feed can be gradually increased to 18% - 20%.

③ Although the demand for calcium and phosphorus increases with the increase in lactation of cows after childbirth, the amount of concentrate feed is also increasing, so the proportion of wheat bran in concentrate feed can be reduced to 14% - 15%.
