Advisory for farmers doing Animal Husbandry
Livestock- New born calves can suffer from pneumonia in cold and maximum mortality occurs due to this reason so take care to tie them in neat clean and dry place.
Animals should be kept inside the shed at night and tied outside during the day when sunlight is available.
Dairy animals should not be fed green, germinated, soiled and damaged potatoes because these can prove disastrous for the health of animals.
In order to protect the udder from cuts and dryness, glycerine and povidone iodine need to be mixed in 1:4 ratio and applied regularly.
