Fish Meal - The Secret To Highly Efficient And Sustainable Cattle Farming

Fish meal is an important supplementary feed in cattle farming, providing protein, vitamins and minerals necessary for the development and growth of cows.

Digestive characteristics of cattle

Unlike many types of livestock, cattle are ruminants and their digestive characteristics and stomaches develop differently. To have the right rations to achieve the best productivity, we first clearly understand their digestive characteristics.

The cow's digestive tract is characterized by a four-compartment stomach, of which the 3 anterior sacs (rumen, reticulum, omasum) are collectively called the anterior stomach. The fourth sac is called the abomasum and has a highly developed digestive gland system. When calves start eating hard foods, the rumen and reticulum develop rapidly, and until the cows mature, they take up most of the stomach capacity.

Despite its large capacity, the rumen does not have digestive glands. The digestion is based on the symbiotic microorganism system. It can be said that the microflora in the stomach plays an important role in the cow's food digestion process and this activity takes place mostly in the rumen. After food passes through other layers of the stomach such as the reticulum, omasum and abomasum, it will be completely absorbed.

Due to the specific digestive characteristics, supplementing food is necessary to compensate for deficiencies in rough fiber feed, especially salt, minerals, vitamins, protein, carbohydrates..., balance nutrition and encourage microflora development for cattle. In particular, fish meal plays an irreplaceable role in helping cows grow well and increase breeding efficiency.

Cows have special digestive characteristics

The role of fishmeal in cattle farming

Fish meal is both a high-quality protein source and rich in amino acids, minerals, omega-3, omega-6... which plays a distinctive role in cattle farming. In particular, fish meal helps balance the nutrition, especially during important periods in the cow's growth process.

Supply high-quality protein

Fish meal is a high-quality protein source, containing all the amino acids necessary for cow development, participating in many metabolic processes like muscle growth, milk production and health maintenance.

Build up digestion

Fish meal is rich in fatty acids and minerals, accelerating the growth of microorganisms and strengthening the cow's digestive system. Fatty acids also increase fat absorption and improve nutrient absorption. In addition, fish meal also has the effect of enhancing the flavor of rough fiber feed and stimulating the appetite of cows.

Improve immune system

Fish meal provides many important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A, D, E, calcium... These ingredients play a significant role in assisting health recovery and enhancing the ability to fight diseases and improving cows' resistance.

Enhance milk and meat quality

Fish meal provides a useful source of protein that helps increase milk production as well as the fat content and other nutrients in cow's milk. This helps cow's milk have higher quality, increasing its nutritional value. The high-class protein contained in fish meal also has a positive effect on meat quality in beef cattle. Fish meal helps improve muscle structure, reduce fat and enhance meat flavor.

Increase economic efficiency

Fish meal is a rich source of animal protein with high biological value, enriching the development of microflora in the cow's stomach and reducing the risk of disease. Fish meal helps to improve the quality of meat and milk with high flavor and nutritional value. Using fishmeal in cows' diets helps reduce costs and increase economic efficiency.

However, fish meal is not the main feed in cattle farming, the proportion of fish meal needs to be carefully calculated and combined with the correct diet to ensure good health and productivity for cows.
