Factors affecting beef cattle feed intake:
1. Dry vs. Wet Feeding
There are three types of feeding materials for beef cattle: dry powder, wet mix (water-to-feed ratio 1:1), and thin liquid. According to research, wet feeding yields the highest feed intake, while thin liquid is the least preferred.
2. Crushed Particle Size
The ideal corn particle size is between 0.8 mm and 1.5 mm. Too coarse reduces feed utilization, leading to waste; too fine can cause digestive issues like ulcers and reduce palatability, thus lowering feed intake.
3. Salt Content
For normal growth, beef cattle require about 0.8% salt in their diet. Reducing salt to 0.4% can lower feed intake by up to 20%, which also affects weight gain.
4. Sweeteners
Cattle have a highly developed sense of taste—three times that of humans. They prefer sweet flavors, so adding sweeteners to feed can significantly improve intake.
5. Water Availability
Water is essential for life and nutrient transport. A lack of water decreases appetite, especially for dry feed. Severe dehydration may even stop feeding entirely.
Other factors such as diseases (parasites, colds, gastroenteritis), environmental changes, movement, and management practices during vaccination can also impact feed consumption.
