Don’t stop cold, stop THE cold ❄️

🧐 Many people may stop cold during the winter, frozen in their tracks as they wonder how they can possibly protect their animals from the harsh weather. Sounds familiar? Low temperatures are indeed a challenge, but here are some easy techniques to manage your livestock in times like these.

    • It’s essential to ensure that your animals have access to fresh, clean water – no, eating snow is not enough. You can keep the water ice-free by using immersible tank heaters, heated buckets, or automatic waterers. Quality is key, so have your water tested for contaminants too.

    • Provide the animals with shelter or wind breaks that are easily accessible – their natural winter coats will do the rest. Good air quality and ventilation, dry bedding areas, and adequate supplies of feed to prepare for the cold are all aspects to keep in mind as well.
