Cold Weather: Protect Livestock Health & Milk Production

• Winter poses health risks to livestock, including colds, pneumonia, and reduced appetite, impacting milk production.
• Keep animal shelters dry, warm, and well-insulated with bedding; cover openings at night and create warm corners for vulnerable animals.
• Provide lukewarm water to prevent cold-related illnesses and expose animals to mild sunlight for warmth and Vitamin D.
• Enhance animal fodder with increased energy and protein content to help them combat the cold.
• Massage animals with oils like mustard or turpentine to improve blood circulation and maintain body warmth, alongside ensuring timely vaccinations and regular health checks.

Why It Matters: Proper winter care for livestock ensures animal health and sustained milk production.
