The Hebei Beef Cattle Innovation Team has found a way to reduce the cost of beef cattle breeding by using discarded Pleurotus eryngii mushroom residue to develop beef cattle feed. The feeding experiment conducted at Chengde Zhihe Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. showed that after feeding Pleurotus eryngii mushroom residues, the average daily gain of fattening bulls increased, feed intake also increased, and empty cows showed improvement in estrus, posture, coat color, and facial appearance. The test data analysis also showed that adding 15% of Pleurotus eryngii fermentation residue to the diet significantly increased the average daily gain compared to the control group, indicating that the fermentation treatment of Pleurotus eryngii residue can be successful and effectively solves the shortage of local roughage resources.

In recent years, the prices of major domestic feed ingredients such as corn and soybean meal have continued to rise, and the cost of feed ingredients usually accounts for more than 70% of the total cost of feed. In order to reduce the cost of beef cattle breeding, the Hebei Beef Cattle Innovation Team's high-efficiency breeding post experts have joined the Chengde Comprehensive Experimental Station to reduce the cost of beef cattle breeding. The use of discarded Pleurotus eryngii mushroom residue to develop beef cattle feed has achieved remarkable results. After many investigations, the team of experts from the Gangzhan station carried out a fermentation test of Pleurotus eryngii residue in Pingquan Yiyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Chengde, Hebei in July this year. Subsequently, on August 3, the expert team carried out a feeding experiment of Pleurotus eryngii mushroom residue fermented feed to beef cattle at Chengde Zhihe Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. in Zhihetang Village, ...
