Importancia del Manejo de Bloques Nutricionales en Ganaderia - TvAgro por Juan Gonzalo Angel

Twitter @juangangel At Agronova 2015, Corpoica technical assistants demonstrated the recipe for making blocks with exact quantities, which can be increased or decreased depending on the raw materials available to the producer. During this time of drought, livestock workers have seen their pastures dry up and disappear due to lack of water. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement cattle that lack feed so they do not lose weight and maintain a stable condition. The multi-nutritional block is an alternative for supplementing animals during critical times. It is a solid-looking feed that constantly and slowly provides the animal with energy, protein, minerals, and nitrogen. (Interview: Tips for supplementing cattle during times of climatic stress) Emiro Suárez, a Corpoica zootechnician, was one of the technical assistants who gave the talk about this supplement at Agronova. The technician explained to CONtexto Ganadero the mathematical formula they used to teach ranchers how to make blocks with supplies from their farms. “As part of the MAPA project, we held theoretical and practical workshops where we explained to producers the need for supplementation in extreme weather scenarios that reduce forage availability and nutritional quality,” he noted. To make blocks, you need molasses, wheat or corn bran, jobo leaf flour, guacimo, cassava, matarratón, or sweet potato, which are alternative sources available on the farm. Lime, sulfur, urea, and mineralized salt are also required. Source: http://www.contextoganadero.com Juan Gonzalo Angel Restrepo www.tvagro.tv
