Breeding and raising cows must be economically successful, because cattle are kept for meat and milk. Many livestock breeders today use growth stimulants for cattle for this purpose, which allow them to accelerate the development of the animal’s body. Let's look at several artificial and natural stimulants and the rules for their use in the household.
What is a growth stimulator and why is it needed?
Growth stimulants are special drugs whose action is aimed at accelerating metabolic processes in the body of livestock. Products may have different origins - synthetic or natural. Natural yeasts include yeast, as well as preparations made from natural raw materials. Such products can be given to small calves or combined with other supplements.
As a result of the use of growth stimulants for cattle in livestock farming, digestion is normalized in livestock, metabolic processes are accelerated, calves begin to grow faster, and weight gain increases. Not only does the fattening period decrease, but the quality of the meat improves.
Artificial stimulants
Synthetic stimulants have a powerful effect. When using artificial stimulants, the dosage and administration regimen must be strictly observed; mistakes are unacceptable. Such compositions are administered to animals in courses.
"Katozal"
The substances in “Katozal” stimulate protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, normalize hematopoietic processes, increase the resistance of the cow’s body, and accelerate adaptation to poor environmental conditions. The drug stimulates the skeletal system of animals, the excretory system, the heart muscle, and corrects metabolic disorders, acute and chronic.
"Gamavit"
The drug stimulates the natural resistance of the ruminant body, the bactericidal activity of the blood, and enhances resistance to stress and heavy loads. “Gamavit” increases weight gain, promotes the safety of young animals, and removes the effects of intoxication. The drug is safe, non-allergenic, does not contain hormones, does not have a negative effect on embryos, and does not provoke the development of tumors.
"Fosprenil"
The drug increases the resistance of cows to infections, activates metabolic processes, as a result, weight gain in fattening bulls and heifers increases, and feed costs are reduced. The drug has antiviral activity. "Fosprenil" is prescribed to cattle for the treatment and prevention of viral diseases and to increase weight gain.
"Butofan"
The drug tones and strengthens the body, normalizes metabolic and recovery processes, stimulates metabolism, and increases resistance to negative external influences. Accelerates the growth and development of young livestock. Anabolic steroids are prescribed to restore the body after illness, to stimulate labor and to prevent complications after childbirth.
Natural stimulants
The composition of the products from this group includes only natural substances obtained from natural raw materials. They are safe for cows and do not cause negative changes in the body.
"Nucleopeptide"
The drug has a complex effect, affecting metabolic processes, hormonal levels and the immune function of cattle. Stimulates the production of hormones that accelerate tissue growth and development of the young body of livestock. Helps in the treatment of autoimmune and chronic pathologies.
“Nucleopeptide” is prescribed to enhance resistance to diseases and to make the liver more resistant to poisons.
Cows that were administered the drug showed an increase in daily weight gain by 12-25% higher than usual, and food conversion improved. The drug can be used in conjunction with antibiotics and premixes.
"Eleovit"
A complex with vitamins that has an immunostimulating effect. It is prescribed to cows for the treatment of hypovitaminosis and for its prevention.They treat dermatitis, rickets, inflammation, long-healing wounds, liver dystrophy, osteomalacia, xerophthalmia. "Eleovit" increases fertility and enhances the vitality of young animals.
Rules for the use of cattle growth accelerators
Growth stimulants for cattle are used for fattening bulls for meat. There is no general scheme for using such drugs; each product must be used according to the instructions. Stimulants are administered by injection, subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Or added to food.
Growth stimulants are specially invented to enhance muscle growth, but you should not rely on drugs alone. Growth is possible only with good nutrition, balanced in nutrients. Fattening calves should be fed ad libitum.
Veterinarians' opinion
Veterinarians advise not to get carried away with growth stimulants if the animals are not provided with good nutrition and care. You can’t try to save money on feed, feed livestock with cheap products and hope that drugs will help. Fattening bulls should receive protein feed, vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates, and fiber. It is from these components that the tissues of the animal body are formed, including muscle tissue.
The breed potential of livestock is also important; animals that belong to meat productive breeds must be used for fattening.
Growth stimulants used in beef cattle breeding are invented to additionally stimulate metabolic processes in the body of livestock.In addition, they help animals cope with infections, adverse environmental influences and living conditions. When used correctly, the drugs fulfill their purpose, the live weight gain of bulls increases, and the cost of production decreases.
