feedlot feeding
Feedlot feeding is a method of raising livestock, particularly cattle, in a confined space where they are fed a high-energy diet to promote rapid weight gain. This system typically involves large pens where animals are grouped together and provided with a balanced diet of grains, silage, and supplements to enhance growth and improve meat quality.
The primary goal of feedlot feeding is to efficiently produce beef for the market. By concentrating animals in a specific area, farmers can manage their feeding, health, and overall care more effectively, leading to a more predictable and controlled production process.
