PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR LIVESTOCK AND PETS IN THESE CONDITIONS:
- Please take extra care to provide for your pets and livestock during cold periods.
- Management of the cow’s environment- move all livestock to a safe area. e.g. warm place’,
- Providing extra hay/forage/feed to livestock is crucial, as they may require up to double the calories for normal body heat maintenance during extreme cold.
- Do not shear the Angora goat. Also, take extra time to observe livestock, looking for early signs of disease and injury.
- Severe cold-weather injuries or death primarily affect animals that are already debilitated or the very young. Cases of cold weather-related sudden death in calves often result when cattle are suffering from undetected infection, particularly pneumonia. Investigate sudden, unexplained livestock deaths and illnesses promptly to identify a cause and take steps to protect remaining animals.
- Pay special attention to very young and old animals.They may be less able to tolerate temperature extremes and have weaker immune systems.
