Beef cattle breeding has always been a relatively large proportion of China's animal husbandry industry. At present, China's main beef cattle breeds include Simmental and Charolais, and the overall income has performed well. Due to the impact of African swine fever in recent years, the demand for beef in the market is getting higher and higher. Now the price of beef cattle has risen and rises again. Even if the feed cost and labor cost increase, the farmed beef cattle still have a good profit. In order to stabilize the market profit value of beef cattle, it is necessary to strengthen the daily management of beef cattle, of which disinfection management is one of the key points. So what are the methods and measures for disinfecting beef cattle? Let’s take a look at it. Beef cattle breeding method 1. Physical disinfection method The physical disinfection method uses sunlight, drying, etc. to complete the disinfection work. It is well known that sunlight is a natural disinfectant, and ultraviolet rays in the sunlight spectrum have an obvious effect on bactericidal action. In the process of breeding beef cattle, the beef cattle are regularly placed in the sun for the "baptism" of the sun, which can achieve certain effects of eliminating viruses and germs. In addition, artificial UV disinfection is also commonly used in the sterilization management of beef cattle. Generally, it can be used for more than 30 minutes to achieve better disinfection effect. Of course, there is also a simple and effective method, that is, high temperature drying, and some metal instruments in the cow house can be sterilized by flame. You can also add a little alkali, such as 1% to 2% soda, to promote the dissolution of protein and fat and prevent metal rust. 2. Chemical disinfection method Chemical disinfection is the use of professional chemical disinfectants to complete the disinfection work. Common chemical disinfectants include formalin, quicklime, sodium hydroxide, etc., which have strong bactericidal effects and can be used to disinfect beef cattle houses, utensils and transportation tools. Some hypochlorous acid or other diluted solutions, if the bactericidal intensity is slightly lower, can be used for skin and mucous membrane disinfection. At present, the disinfecting drugs commonly used in beef cattle breeding are: iodine preparations, quaternary ammonium salts, etc., and everyone can choose the medicine according to the actual situation. Beef cattle breeding disinfection measures 1. When entering the beef cattle farm area, personnel or vehicles must pass through the disinfection tank, and the vehicle body should be sprayed and disinfected with 2%-3% of the aqueous solution of Suer. The human body should wear sterile clothing to avoid direct contact with herds and feed. 2. Sweep once a day in the production area and the surrounding environment of the barn, and spray disinfection with 2% caustic soda or 0.2% sodium hypochlorite solution. 3. If a sick beef cattle is found or a beef cattle is dead, it is necessary to promptly dispose of the body, its secretions, and excrement. Of course, it cannot be discarded or buried at will, but should be transported out by a special person in a tight container and put into a dedicated buried body for deep burial or incineration. In summary, beef cattle disinfection management plays a very important role in beef cattle breeding, and in the intricate breeding environment, in order to avoid the impact of various diseases, it is necessary to implement scientific disinfection methods and measures.
