For an economical beef fattening program, the right cattle breed should be selected and appropriate feeding strategies must be applied. If a proper feeding program tailored to the animal’s needs during the growth period is not implemented, cattle will not be able to develop a balanced bone and muscle structure. Feeding mistakes made at the beginning of the fattening period will prevent animals from achieving rapid live weight gain in later stages. Fattening facilities must be well-ventilated and kept clean. Always provide beef cattle with free access to fresh and clean water. Monthly live weight measurements should be conducted. Feeding rations should then be adjusted according to the weight gain. In semi-open free-stall barns, leg and foot problems are less common compared to closed and tied housing systems. Ensuring that lying areas remain dry and clean in fattening barns helps improve overall fattening performance.
