The fully-mixed dairy cow (TMR for short) is a kind of feed that mixes raw material, fine material, minerals, vitamins, and other additives together to calculate the specific nutrient concentration. An advanced breeding technique. Every cow’s diet has the same nutrition and nutritional balance.

First, feeding method

1. Mixing order: coarse material (wild hay, yew, grass, etc.) → bad type (sweet potato, brewer's grains, etc.) → fine material (including additives) → dried corn → corn silage → water.

2. Feeding: Feeding according to the diet plan must be accurate. This is critical.

3. Stirring time: Under normal conditions, the material is stirred while stirring, which takes 7-8 minutes, and stirring is continued for 3-4 minutes. The specific conditions are adjusted according to the degree of abrasion of the blade in the vehicle and the length of the coarse material. The principle is to prevent uneven mixing and excessive mixing.

4. Control of nutrient concentration: We should conduct a humidity test every week for feeds with large changes in moisture, such as by-products and silage corn, and completely mixed rations. The humidity requirement is between 50 and 60%. It will limit the amount of feed intake. Monthly nutrient composition analysis of the whole mixed diet, monitoring the quality of the diet at any time.

5. Distribution of the whole mixed diet: (1) Herd requirements. Cows were grouped according to milk production, body condition, breeding, age, and lactation, and were prepared with different concentrations of fully-mixed diets. (2) Feeding requirements. The feed in the feed tank should be evenly distributed to facilitate cattle intake. (3) Feeding trough management. Each cow should have 70-80 cm of chute space, the trough should be horizontal and smooth. The feed should be distributed along the trough, visually inspect the entire mixed diet for consistency, and check feed quality. It is necessary to ensure that 3-5% of the feeds are kept to prevent shortage of feed for some cattle. The feed foot can be used to feed the backing cattle. If there is more than 5% of the feed and there are no sudden weather changes, check the mixed diet, raw materials, or recalculate. At the same time, the chute is cleaned and disinfected once a week to increase the appetite of the cattle and ensure the feed trough is hygienic.

Second, the advantages

1, is conducive to the health of cattle: Because the cattle can not picky eaters, each feed intake is a full-price diet with consistent coarse and stable proportion, consistent dietary concentration, which is conducive to stable rumen pH, ensure rumen health, Prevent the occurrence of cattle digestive diseases.

2. Feeding accuracy: It enables the cattle to take in certain concentration of nutrients, which is beneficial to the high yield, stable production and high efficiency of the herd.

3, increase productivity: Some odor or poor raw materials such as feeding alone, the cow will eat less or refuse to eat, using the full-mix diet feeding technology, after the stirring truck can avoid this situation, improve feed utilization rate.

Third, insufficient

1. High hardware requirements: Feed measurement and mechanical equipment are required, and the investment is large.

2. High technical management requirements: higher requirements are placed on the maintenance and repair of roads and equipment.

3, high feed quality requirements: long hay is difficult to mix into the whole mixed diet, not suitable for more use of green juicy feed.

4. The scale of the cattle farm is high: cattle must be grouped, and small cattle farms that cannot be divided are not suitable.
