As the winter season is set to begin in the second half of this month, certain areas may experience their first frost. The average monthly temperature is expected to hover around 10–15°C, and in Wenzhou, winter might even be delayed until December. Based on the climate patterns observed this month, livestock and poultry farmers should focus on several key tasks to ensure the health and well-being of their animals during the colder months.
First, the autumn vaccination campaign for pigs has been largely completed, but it's crucial to check for any missed doses and administer them promptly. With the arrival of cold air from the north, pigs are more susceptible to cold stress, which can lead to diarrhea. To prevent this, proper insulation in pigsties is essential. If diarrhea does occur, oral electrolyte solutions and feed additives like olaquindox can help treat the condition. For sows giving birth, it’s important to keep piglets warm using brooder boxes to protect them from the cold.
Second, grazing cattle should be encouraged to eat sufficient amounts of forage. Farmers should also inspect and repair barns to ensure they are well-insulated against the cold. This will help maintain the health of the herd throughout the winter.
Third, if goats have not yet received the sheep pox vaccine, now is the time to do so. In addition, insect control measures should be carried out before winter sets in. When grazing, it’s best to let the goats go out after the morning dew has dried and bring them back in the late afternoon. Ensuring that they consume enough grass will help them gain weight and stay healthy through the colder season.
Fourth, long-tailed rabbits are nearing the end of their autumn care routine. For the long-haired Aberdeen rabbits, special attention should be given to keeping their living area warm and preventing them from being exposed to freezing temperatures. Make sure their nesting boxes are secure and insulated.
Fifth, it’s an ideal time to start cultivating artificial grass, such as ryegrass, to ensure a sufficient supply of forage for herbivores during the winter months. This proactive approach will help reduce feed costs and improve animal nutrition.
Lastly, the early stages of winter are considered the best time to raise geese for the New Year. Geese grow quickly, and with proper feeding, they can reach marketable size within 70 days, making them ready for sale just in time for the Spring Festival. This presents a great opportunity for farmers to earn a good profit during the holiday season.
