When it comes to cattle, people tend to have mixed opinions about them. However, the temperament of the species is well-known to many.

While there are both positive and negative aspects to cows, they are generally known for being hardworking and resilient animals that are eager to please their owners.

One of the positive traits of cows is their willingness to work. They are not afraid of hard work and will do as they are told. They are also known for being hardy, which means they are capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions and other difficult circumstances.

The life expectancy of cows is typically not more than ten years. This is because cows are generally at their peak milk production between the ages of three and eight years old. Most domestic cows have a utilization cycle of about seven years, after which they are culled.

When cows are no longer able to produce milk, they are often abandoned by their owners.

Experienced cattle farmers know that the age of cattle can be determined by looking at their teeth. Cows have a total of 32 incisors, with 12 located above and 20 located below. They have 8 fewer teeth above than below.

Cows begin to replace their milk teeth at the age of one to two years old, starting with the middle pair. By the time they are three to four years old, they will have replaced their third pair of milk teeth.

When it comes to caring for cows, it is important to provide them with a balanced diet. They should be given coarse grains such as wheat, rice bran, and corn meal in the morning to provide them with the energy they need for the day.

In the afternoon, they should be given food such as greens and roots, and in the evening, they should be fed some pasture and concentrate.

Regular cleaning of the heifers' pens is also important. The best way to clean the pen is to do it after the heifers have left the pen. The pen can be cleaned using a water gun, and then the windows can be opened to allow the water to dry.

After the pen has dried, some lime can be sprinkled on the floor and a layer of dry straw can be laid on top to provide a comfortable environment for the heifers to grow.

Insects and mosquitoes can be a problem for heifers during the growth process. Therefore, it is important to take appropriate measures to eliminate them.

Regular bathing of the cows is necessary to keep them clean, and insecticides should be sprayed in their pens to destroy any mosquitoes or insects that may be present.

The number of times a cow excretes in a day and the amount of excretion varies depending on the nature of the feed, intake, ambient temperature, humidity, and individual conditions. Normal cattle urinate an average of 9 times a day and excrete 12 to 18 times.

For example, cows that eat grass excrete more often than cows that eat hay. Similarly, producing cows excrete more than average. While different breeds of cattle may have varying volumes of excretion, the number of times they excrete is generally similar.

While cattle have both positive and negative aspects, they are generally known for their hardworking and resilient nature.

It is important to provide them with a balanced diet and a clean environment to ensure their well-being. With proper care, cows can live a healthy and productive life.
