Summer Animal Care: Boost Milk Production, Prevent Illness with Timely Preparations

• Protect animals from heat stress to maintain health and stable milk production throughout summer.
• Ensure proper shelter with ventilation, shade, and dry flooring; use straw or hessian on tin sheds to reduce temperature.
• Provide clean, fresh water 3-4 times daily, kept in shade, to prevent dehydration and maintain milk yield.
• Allow animals to roam during cooler hours for physical and mental health, aiding digestion and reducing lethargy.
• Prioritize care for pregnant animals, protecting them from sun and humidity to prevent miscarriage and ensure healthy calves.
