How To Take Care of Cows in Winter

1.

Provide Warm Blankets 

Cows living on the streets or in open spaces are the most vulnerable during winter. A simple way to protect them is by providing warm blankets. These blankets act as a shield against the freezing cold. 

2.

Set Up Shelters 

Building shelters using tarpaulins or tin shed, cemented sheds can provide cows with a safe place to stay during the harsh winter months.  

3.

Feed Nutritious Food 

During winter, cows need more energy to maintain their body heat. Feeding them warm and nutritious food like hay, jaggery, and mixed grains can help them stay strong and resist the cold. 

4.

Medical Care

Winter brings an increased risk of illnesses like pneumonia and other respiratory problems in cows. Prevention is better than cure, and timely vaccinations can save lives. 

5.

Bonfires in Shelters 

bonfires in well-ventilated shelters can help keep the environment warm. Make sure to keep the fire away from the cows to avoid accidents.
