Angler breed
History of the breed. Cows grazing on the Angeln Peninsula, located in the northern part of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany, are distinguished by excellent health and adapt well to harsh weather conditions. The first mention of meat obtained from these animals dates back to the 16th century. Due to the high fat content in their milk, which is 5.4%, they were previously referred to as the "German dairy cow." Nowadays, this breed poses serious competition to Holsteins in European countries. There are about 20,000 individuals of the Angler breed in Germany. Exterior.

What to feed

Ration. The ration for cattle should be formulated taking into account the physiological state of the animals and the season. In the summer, the basis of the cows' ration consists of green grass growing in pastures. Additional feed includes oats, by-products of oilseed plants, and bran. The norm for green mass consumption for one individual is 15 kilograms per day. In the winter, the cows' ration changes: instead of green grass, hay, silage, sunflower cake, beets, and other root vegetables are added to the diet. It is also necessary to include bran in the ration.
