🐮Cattle, can eat pellet feed?

Currently raising pigs🐖, chickens🐔, ducks🦆, etc. almost all use pellet feed, not only comprehensive and balanced nutrition, and feeding up simple and trouble-free, there are a lot of cattle farmers to consider the use of pellet feed cattle, but it is difficult to find the market special pellet feed for cattle, which makes people can not help but ask the question of cattle can actually eat pellet feed?

The answer is: yes✅ and no❌. Can means that concentrates can be fed with pellets, and cannot means that roughage or complete ration feeds cannot be fed with pellets.

As many small and medium cattle farmers are not clear how to match the feed (concentrate), directly buy a good ratio of pellet feed to save the ingredients of this link, not only save time and feed nutrition is comprehensive and balanced more conducive to cattle production and growth. However, roughage is not suitable for pellet feed for the following reasons:

First, roughage made of pellet feed volume will be compressed, cattle feeding equal amount of pellet feed is difficult to produce a sense of satiety, and feeding too much pellet feed into the rumen in contact with water becomes loose expansion, the cattle may be rumen food, rumen dropsy and other problems;

Secondly, pellet feed is mostly composed of fine raw materials (corn meal, grass meal, etc.), and all the cows eat this kind of too fine feed is not favorable for rumination, as well as easy to have problems such as obstruction of the flap stomach and ulceration of the wrinkled stomach. You can buy or process pellet feed (concentrate), with silage, green hay and other roughage to feed cattle.
