How to take care of animals during weather change

Animal Husbandry: To prevent disease, it is essential to protect the animals from the rise and fall of environmental temperature. It is necessary to use bedding of either rice straw or sand in the shed to keep it dry and warm.

• Crossbreed animals also require special care during this time. Consult a veterinary doctor in case the animal falls ill.
• A healthy animal expresses heat signs within 50-60 days of calving. So watch the animal carefully for signs of heat so as not to miss it. Artificial Insemination (A.I.) should be carried out at appropriate times to reduce inter-calving intervals.
• If animal shows signs of heat in the evening, then artificial insemination should be done in the morning and if the animal shows heat signs in the morning, then artificial insemination must be conducted in the evening.
