Winter Care for Milch Animals: Boost Milk, Prevent Diseases

• Veterinary Officer Matadeen Patel advises giving fresh warm water to milch animals in winter to prevent colds.
• Ensure animals are well-fed; a full stomach helps them stay warm and reduces cold impact.
• For non-lactating or pregnant animals, feed mustard leaves and lamb's quarters (bathua) to maintain body warmth.
• If animals catch a cold, provide carom seeds (ajwain) and jaggery (gud) daily for relief.
• Proper winter care leads to increased milk production and keeps diseases away.

Why It Matters: Warm water, ample food, and specific remedies ensure healthy milch animals and higher milk yield in winter.
