Technology of cattle breeding in cow-calve at family farm Bokun , Hrastovac

Sustav krava-tele podrazumijeva uzgoj goveda na ograđenom pašnjaku tijekom cijele godine koje se bazira na proizvodnji mesa ili teleta za daljnji uzgoj. U ovom sustavu koriste se mesne i kombinirane pasmine goveda. Od mesnih pasmina najčešće se uzgajaju: Hereford, Limousin, Charolais, Salers i Angus, a od kombiniranih pasmina Simentalsko govedo. Obitelj Bokun počela je sa sustavom krava-tele 2016. godine te se trenutno na OPG-u Bokun nalazi : 65 krava, 15 steonih junica, 42 teleta i 2 rasplodna bika pasmine Limousin. Svoja grla uzgajaju na ograđenom pašnjaku površine 50 hektara koji se nalazi u Brođancima. Goveda se razmnožavaju na pašnjaku prirodnim pripustom. Krava se teli na pašnjaku bez poteškoća te preuzima potpunu brigu o odgoju teleta sve dok se ne osamostali. Na pašnjaku su zasijane djetelinsko-travne smjese koje čine glavni dio obroka tijekom ljeta, a preko zime goveda se hrane kvalitetnim sijenom, silažom i smjesama. Prednosti ovoga sustava su: minimalni ljudski rad, jeftina hranidba, kvalitetnije meso, manja ulaganja u infrastrukturu i mehanizaciju i minimalni veterinarski troškovi, dok se kao glavni nedostatak izdvaja dugo čekanje na prve prihode od uzgoja.Cow-calf system implies cattle breeding on enclosed premises throughout the whole year which is based on meat or calf production for further breeding. This operation uses meat and combined breeds of cattle. Hereford, Limousin, Chaorlais, Saler, Angus are most bred among meat cattle and Simmental cattle among combined breeds. Bokun family initialized their cow-calf operation in 2016. Currently, the Bokun local produce company holds 65 cows, 15 heifers, 42 calves and 2 stud bulls of the Limousin cattle. They breed their cattle on an enclosed premise over 50 acres in Brođanci. Their cattle breeds through natural procreation. The cow calves on the meadow without difficulties and takes full care of the calf until it becomes independent. Meadows are sown with a miagra grass mixture, which makes up the majority of the summer meals and during the winter the cows are fed high quality hay, silage and mixtures. Advantages of this system are minimum requirements of human labour, inexpensive nutrition, higher meat quality, smaller infrastructure and mechanization investments and minimum veterinary expenses, whereas the main flaw would be the prolonged wait for the first breeding incomes
