[Topic] What is the optimal feeding program for maximising weight gain and meat quality?
Feeding is one of the most crucial factors in beef cattle production, directly influencing weight gain, feed efficiency, and meat quality. An optimal feeding program ensures that cattle grow at a steady and efficient rate while developing desirable meat characteristics such as marbling, tenderness, and flavor. The right balance of energy, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, along with proper feeding strategies, can maximize both productivity and profitability. This article explores the key components of an ideal feeding program, the different phases of cattle growth, and the best practices for achieving optimal weight gain and premium-quality beef.
“The foundation of high-quality beef production lies in a well-structured feeding program that meets the nutritional needs of cattle at every stage of growth. By carefully balancing forage, grains, and supplements, farmers can enhance weight gain efficiency while improving meat texture and flavor. A strategic approach to feeding not only optimizes growth performance but also ensures sustainable and cost-effective beef production.”
