According to animal experts, in the current changing season, milk-giving animals are also made pregnant as per convenience. Animals that were made pregnant at the beginning of last summer are about to give birth during this period. Most of the buying and selling of animals also happens during this period. This is the reason why animal fairs are organized in large numbers from November to February.
The season that gives stress to animals has already begun. Although the summer season also gives stress to animals, this season is considered very special for animals and animal keepers in many ways. In this season, not only does the production of animals increase, but reproduction also happens. And one important thing is that during this period, there was a lot of buying and selling of animals. However, according to animal experts, this is also the season when many types of diseases come in cows and buffaloes. Some seasonal diseases even become fatal for animals.
The cattle keeper has to bear the brunt of this in the form of economic loss. With the decrease in milk production, the cost of medicines increases. But if some precautionary measures are taken, then along with avoiding economic loss, animals can also be kept healthy. For special care of animals in the changing weather, it is necessary to make a plan about the way to give them green fodder, what things to include in the minerals, how and when to give drinking water, as well as how many times and at what time to give food throughout the day.
