How to protect livestock from heat waves:

The temperature is gradually rising, and in such conditions, farmers naturally understand how to protect their livestock. However, it's important for new breeders to note the following key points:

  • Ensure cattle are sheltered in well-ventilated sheds or under shade during the daytime.

  • Avoid giving works to bulls during hot weather, especially between 11 am and 4 pm.

  • Place water tanks in shaded areas and provide mineral-salted water, avoiding water that is too hot.

  • Consider covering shed roofs with straw to reduce temperatures and use water spray or fans inside the shed.

  • During extreme heat, take livestock to water stations and bathe or sprinkle water on them.

  • Proper ventilation and curtains are beneficial in poultry farms.

  • Consider sending goats and cows to pasture during cool weather.

  • Sprinkle water on cattle if they show signs of excessive panting and sticking out their tongues.
