In the feeding process of beef cattle, in addition to feeding carbohydrates such as corn, sorghum, melon stems, and bean cakes, protein feeds, and quality forage, it is best to make supplemented feeds with high sugar content and rich vitamins. The fattening effect will be better. The production techniques for the two “feed supplements†that are most suitable for beef cattle are described below: 1. Saccharification feeds. Principle and production method: use starch amylase in the grain to convert part of the starch to maltose to improve the palatability; 2.5 times more hot water is added to the milled seeds, stir well, and put it at a temperature of 50°C to 55°C. After the enzyme is activated, the sugar content of feed can increase to about 10% after 6 hours. If 2 kg of malt is added per 100 kg of seed, the saccharification will be better and faster. The saccharification feed was added to the diet of beef cattle at a rate of 10%. The cattle particularly liked feeding, and the fattening effect was significant. Second, germination feed. Principle and production method: Cereal feed can be used to supplement vitamins for beef cattle after germination. The germination feed within 1 cm is rich in VE, and the germination feed of about 7 cm contains more carotene, VB2, and VC. The method is to soak the seeds in warm water of 18°C ​​to 20°C for 15 hours, spread them in wooden trays or fine sieves, and make them about 5 cm thick. Cover them with sacks or straw mats, and spray clean water to keep them. Wet, the indoor temperature is maintained at about 25°C, and it can germinate after about 7 days. Sprouting feed is not only a good supplement feed for beef cattle, but it is also the ideal premium supplement feed for bulls. Especially in the winter and spring season where green feed is lacking, it is better for cattle to feed a proper amount of germination feed. Feeding 100 grams to 120 grams per cow per day is sufficient. China Agricultural Network Editor
