The Potential of Finishing Male Dairy Cattle in Thailand
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The increasing global beef consumption drove up the live beef cattle exportation in Thailand, affecting the beef industry due to a shortage of live cattle. Fattening male dairy cattle is a strategic option for responding to rising consumer demand. However, feedlot male dairy cattle have several factors that affected the growth performance and carcass quality. The Holstein-Friesian is the largest of the dairy breeds and is the most popular. Crossbreeding between Holstein-Friesian and beef cattle breeds showed a greater growth rate and carcass quality than purebred Holstein. Male dairy cattle can be fattened from 68-114 kg, and finishing cattle with a forage-based diet contributes to producing lean beef. Castration helps to improve marbling, and male cattle castrated after one year of age had a greater carcass weight and growth rate than castration before puberty. Continuous feeding of a high-energy concentrate diet increases the growth rate of male dairy cattle up to 1.27 kg/d with about 345 days on feed. Vitamin A restriction at least 217 days before slaughter increased marbling in beef cattle. The cattle are slaughtered at not less than 3 years to improve the marbling in beef cattle. Finishing cattle with a forage-based diet or including oilseeds in the diet resulted in higher unsaturated fatty acid and conjugated linoleic fatty acids proportion in beef. The live body weight at slaughter, about 455 - 636 kg, or carcass weight about 273 - 432 kg, would be marketable. Therefore, fattening male dairy cattle might be an appropriate method to increase beef yield to the market and increase the value-added of male dairy cattle.
