Cattle Breeding Industry in American

Online, May 7, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Cattle breeding is developed commonly around the world. For American, it's breeding industry is developing rapidly. They adopt advanced industrial technology to breed the cattle which can reduce the cost and increase the output. However, there are also some problems need to be resolved to reach better effect.

Disease prevention is important in cattle breeding industry. Some breeders adopt the industrial breeding method that thousands of cattle are raised in the livestock farm. The environment for cattle is crowded and not ventilative, so they easily get illness. In order to prevent the disease the breeder add antibiotics to the feed. However this may leads to other disease that are resistant to the antibiotics. And the breeders use the meat and bone meal rather than grass as feed to raise cattle. The meat and bone meal uses the fresh animal tissue and bone as raw materials and then is produced through boiling, sterilizing, drying and crushing. It is used in the cattle feed because of its high protein content. However researches show that the spread of mad cow disease is relative to the meat and bone meal because it is produced using the animal's own meat and bone. So an International Committee which is respective for the investigation of mad cow disease makes recommendations to the U.S. Government that the meat and bone meal should be banned as the livestock feed and new safe feed should be developed.

So the cattle feed choices are more and more important. More and more people choose feed pellets that take grains such as corn, wheat bran, rice husks, beans, etc as raw materials, adopts scientific formula, mixes the raw materials evenly according to a certain proportion and then form the final pellet with a series of processing. It could replace the meat and bone meal as cattle feed because it not only has high protein content just as the meat and bone meal but also has the balanced nutrition needs of cattle.

The feed pellets can protect the cattle's environment. The breeders can control the quantity of feed pellet and easily clean the redundant feed pellet compared with the powder feed. The breeders can process the feed pellets by themselves. Thus they can save more money. For large quantity, they can choose ring die pellet mills. For small quantity, they can choose flat die ones.
