Summary
Livestock worker responsible for beef cattle rearing management, reproduction, health management, and shipping.
Description
Beef cattle rearers produce healthy, high-quality beef through the rearing, breeding, and fattening of beef cattle. They manage feed formulation and dosage, and thoroughly maintain cattle barn cleaning and hygiene. They also conduct health examinations for disease prevention and early detection, collaborating with veterinarians for treatment as needed. In breeding management, they observe estrus and perform artificial insemination to maintain an efficient breeding cycle. They monitor growth status to adjust fattening periods, determine optimal shipping times, and send to market. In recent years, to address labor shortages, automatic feeding machines and IoT-based rearing management systems are being introduced.
Future Outlook
Labor shortages due to aging are expected to worsen, necessitating sustainable farm operations and labor-saving technologies. Potential for added value through advanced livestock techniques and branded beef production.
