Kaindy LLP is engaged in fattening beef cattle of two breeds, Aberdeen-Angus and Hereford.
There are 5,000 HEAD of cattle at this feedlot. The cold method of keeping is practiced here, i.e. At the feedlot there are not only warm rooms, but even sheds.
To protect the bulls from the wind, a windproof wall made of boards is used. There is a fairly large distance between the boards, because If you make the boards tightly, then the strong wind that happens in these places can knock down the protective wall. The wind “breaks” and subsides as it passes between the boards, but the animals do not lie along this protection, but prefer to be on a dung mound, which warms from below. Rolls of straw are placed on the mound or nearby, which the bulls independently drag around the mound.
Watering occurs with water from water towers, and water is pumped into them from a well. To prevent the water from freezing in winter, a small pressure is provided at night so that the water constantly flows in a thin stream.
Insemination of cows and heifers for commercial herds is artificial. Calving occurs in March-April.
Up to six monthsThe calves are kept with the cows, after which they are beaten off. Heifers are used to reproduce and increase their herd, or for breeding sale. And the bulls are put to rearing during the winter months.
With the onset of spring and until late autumn, the bulls are on pastures. In the second autumn (one and a half year old) bulls begin finishing fattening. For fattening for marbled MEAT, bull calves remain in fattening for up to 200 days.
The diet varies depending on the age of the bulls, but mainly it is haylage and barley. Adult bulls are given up to 10 kg of feed per day. Feeding once a day, food is distributed by a feed dispenser into feeders.
With such maintenance and diet, the daily weight gain of bulls is from 1.5 to 2.5 kg.
The air temperature in these places quite often drops to -30 degrees, and very often, in early January (for several days) drops to almost -40°C.
