Ep 9: Customizing the Fuel (Chapter 8)
You wouldn't put race car fuel in a tricycle. Similarly, you shouldn't feed a pregnant cow the same way you feed a finishing bull.
In this episode, our hosts discuss Chapter 8: Matching the Feed to the Job – Feeding for Different Stages. Engr. Jowie explains how to adjust your "Black Gold" mix depending on whether you are growing a calf, maintaining a mother, or fattening for slaughter.
In this chapter breakdown, listeners will learn:
The Growth Phase: Why young animals need higher protein to build frame and muscle.
The Finishing Phase: When to switch to high-energy feeds to pack on the weight before selling.
The Maintenance Phase: How to keep cows healthy without overspending on expensive feeds during the dry season.
Quote from the Chapter:"Every stage requires a different gear. Shift gears to save money."
