Abstract

The study was aimed to assess the ongoing beef cattle fattening practices at some selected areas of Rangpur district of Bangladesh. The survey was carried out through a structured questionnaire among 45 selected farmers during February to June, 2020. Parameters studied were the roughage and concentrate feeding practices, treatment of straw or green grass, ration formulation, introduction of steroids for fattening, cost return analysis of cattle fattening practices. It was found from the study that the respondents were About 55.55% farmers used own capital for fattening, while 33.33, 6.67 and 4.44% farmers got money from NGO, other people and bank loan respectively. Most of the farmers (44.44%) reared indigenous bulls compared to crossbred (24.44%) and mixture of both (31.11%). A significant number of farmers reared uncastrated bulls (88.89%) and nobody reared cows or heifers for fattening. Majority of the farmers’ fattened cattle only before Eid-ul-Adha (57.78%) and only 24.48% farmer fattened cattle round the year and the rest of the farmers practiced seasonal fattening. Majority of the farmers supplied roadside grass (55.56%) as the source of forages compared to straw (17.78%) and cultivated fodder (26.67%). In case of concentrate feeding, only 20% farmers supplied commercial pellet feed, 35.56% supplied local hand mixed feed and 44.44% supplied both pellet and hand mix feed. Among the cattle fattened farmers only 5% farmers administered steroids as a growth promoter and 95% of them did not use any kinds of growth promoter at the period of fattening. Therefore, beef would be safe for human consumption without any health hazard.
孟加拉Rangpur地区肉牛为优质肉品生产的育肥做法
该研究旨在评估孟加拉国Rangpur地区一些选定地区正在进行的肉牛育肥做法。该调查是在2020年2月至6月期间通过结构化问卷对45名选定的农民进行的。研究的参数包括粗饲料和精料饲喂方式、秸秆或草料处理、日粮配方、增肥类固醇的引入、牛增肥方式的成本回报分析。研究发现,受访者中约55.55%的农民使用自有资金进行育肥,33.33%、6.67%和4.44%的农民分别从非政府组织、他人和银行贷款中获得资金。与杂交公牛(24.44%)和杂交公牛(31.11%)相比,大多数农民(44.44%)饲养本土公牛。大量农民饲养未阉割的公牛(88.89%),没有人饲养奶牛或小母牛用于育肥。大多数农民只在宰牲节前育肥牛(57.78%),全年育肥牛仅24.48%,其余农民实行季节性育肥。以路边草(55.56%)为主,秸秆(17.78%)和人工饲料(26.67%)为主。在精料饲养方面,只有20%的养殖户提供商品颗粒饲料,35.56%的养殖户提供当地手工混合饲料,44.44%的养殖户同时提供颗粒和手工混合饲料。在育肥牛的养殖户中,只有5%的养殖户使用类固醇作为生长促进剂,95%的养殖户在育肥期间没有使用任何生长促进剂。因此,食用牛肉是安全的,没有任何健康危害。
