Abstract

The article offers suggestions for farmers on how to protect their livestock in extreme winter conditions. For those farmers with out-wintered cattle, it is important to make sure if brassicas are available and if the animals are getting enough feed. For pig farmers, it is vital to meet the energy requirements of pigs in cold conditions by providing correct bedding in outdoor huts. Ideas for dairy farmers on how to prevent cow injuries and accidents in freezing conditions are also provided.
